    Well done, you sound like you really know your stuff. Do you happen to know in what circumstances they can clamp your car?

    Nice one. I'm really glad too that you posted it here. I've told people here before that debt collectors are powerless but of course they've always believed otherwise and feel intimidated. It's good for people like that who come here for help to see that us ordinary people can stand up for ourselves instead of feeling powerless when there's someone on the doorstep.
