Parking direct - clamping charge

Hi
I was clamped yesterday by Parking Direct Ltd - It turns out that the road that I was parked in was private property (Although it was a road leading off of a main road roundabout and it looked just like a normal road onto an industrial estate - tarmacs, kerbs, blah blah blah ) however it was private I did not notice the white cardboard cable tied signs and was clamped - £125 clamping £250 cancellation fee for tow and 2.8% for paying by credit cared. Total £385.50
I requested proof that a towing vehicle had been requested and proof of cancellation but this was not available - I paid by credit card - I would like to know if I challenge this part of the 'fine' and request my card to claim this back, where I would stand??? :mad:
