Help help help car towing!!!!!

Sorry there’s a lot going on here
There are signs to say that clamping occurs. Bay are marked with numbers, VP or V. I have permit to park in the numbered spaces and the VP, there are no signs to distinguish the difference in permits required. So I only found this out now!
Police and courthouse have advised they are allowed to take the car so looks like I have no choice but to pay. I’m not allowed to take to an injunction against a company and nothing that I’m saying is working in the slightest!

STOP!

Do not pay that PPC a bloody penny, never mind £3800!!! Jesus!

Get on the phone an call a solicitor now! You have been given links to one who knows his stuff about Private Parking and when you can pay him at most a few hundred quid to get you car back and then possibly he can get you all your money back, then you would be stupid not to speculate.

If he advises pay and sue, great, but for gods sake just listen. We know this is a PPC, so the previous 'fines' are horse crap. The clamping and towing bit might be legitimate, it might not, but either way that only has you paying for the towing and release fee, which will be a few hundred at worst... and then you should still sue.

If you pay them without proper legal advice, you need your bumps feeling!!!!

fact of the matter is...although all of this advice is great and very informative, no lawful person takes ANY notice of it! I have no choice but to pay if I want my car back and that comes from a lawyers mouth!

I'll post if anything slightly beneficial happens regarding this but as of now absolutely NO BODY PERSON OR CONSTABULARY wants to know!

If it is not from a lawyer who understands the private parking industry, then unfortunately, he might be giving you advice, that you might both end up regretting.

Unless he is also telling you that you might be able to then successfully sue them and get your money back, then I would be very careful. Because as soon as you pay, you can kiss that money goodbye, they will have won and you will have been had!

They are bullying you into paying money you would appear to owe them.

You are going to give a Private Parking Company £3800, without exploring all possible avenues as thoroughly as possible with a lawyer who specialises in this area to get your car back, then you are nuts.

I would call Tim Cary NOW if I was you, assuming you have not called him?

If not, you are a lost cause!

Why ask for advice on here and then completely ignore it?

I have contacted the local county court to start and injunction and they advised I cannot do this against a company.

This appears quite strange. Injunctions are regularly granted against companies, and most of the time I hear the word "injunction", it is being used against a company.

A comment from Pepipoo :-

- who told you that you can't take out an injunction against a company? - this is just nonsense.

[I'm beginning to doubt this poster's veracity ....]

I have to say I am inclined to agree.:(

Perhaps, but the old one cannot be invalidated just like that.
