Recorded Phone Conversations

You would have to have actually said "if you don't remove it I'll do it myself" before anyone could think about taking it seriously though...

Could be worse.
If you had said "if you don't remove it I'll do it myself and stick it up your ****" then he'd gone to casualty with a clamp stuck up his ****.

But, if you were in work, good result I'd say.

God, just ignore him Chris. He's just trying to intimidate you. First he pretends to be someone else! Now he's saying your 'conversation will be submitted to the police"! Whatever. Treat him with the contempt he deserves.

Yep clampers are usually in to fist dragging, intimidation, black mail and other such criminal offences.

Without warning you first, the recording itself cannot be used as evidence. However there is nothing to stop them submitting a transcript of the conversation. If it ever got to court and you contested the transcript, the judge could allow the recording itself to be submitted as evidence

During my lengthy, succesful, battle against a clamping company and a two day trial the judge allowed two full CD's of recordings as evidence. The recordings were made of telephone calls and meetings with the clampers sometimes with police present (at my request). All recordings were made without the knowledge of the villains and provided overwhelming evidence in court that the clampers were giving false evidence. No transcripts proved necessary.

I spoke to the company making the delivery and they don't know who took it off. They'd actually gone to the cashpoint to get some money out while the clamper was at the vehicle, when they got back he was gone and the clamp was off!

I do know that Whites have upset just about every resident/visitor/contractor that has come near my block of flats this year. They unmercifully clamp anything on wheels and have particularly ambiguous 'rules' which they've exploited to catch out many people. Wouldn't surprise me if everyone in the whole block has googled 'how to remove a clamp' haha

By the looks of the photo Mr White took a real pasting. After a couple of calls with him I really can't think why anyone would want to do that :rotfl:

What you should also do is call the management company who manage yoru block of flats and tell them about the scandalous treatment by the clampers to delivery drivers and such like.

Yes from the landowners. Yes for 2 x assault by the clamper. Sadly no from the clamping company, who have now gone down the phoenix company route twice.

Well if the landowner and clamping company were that well acquainted with their lovely contract, the land owner can get the money from the clamping company. I mean come on, how many land owners are so thick and !!!!!! that they employ clampers and open themselves up to being sued in court, with no chance of the clampers providing recompense?!

Unlikely that the clampers would recompense anyone. Not in their nature...!

I believe landowners/agents may well allow clampers to operate as a simple solution to reducing unauthorised parking. That they are getting into bed with rogues and villains probably hasn't crossed their minds. So they have to face up to the consequences.

In my case the landowners quickly sacked the clampers.

Interesting to contemplate whether the guilty landowner might be succesful in taking action against the contracted clampers?

Just permission to operate is a valid contract, I think.
