how thick is he ?

As much as you are unsympathetic. On this board, we don't look down on anyone, unless we are helping them up.

Unfortunately, a lot of people think that you only park a car when you get out of it.

I only have a few days left to send in my defence but dont have a clue what to say. Can anyone help?

You don't need the defence yet just acknowledge the claim and state you wish to defend the whole claim, you then have a further 14 days to get your defence ready.

Ignore them and relax. We've all had these scammers chasing us, not one of us has ever been in 'trouble' don't stress, just ignore. simple as that.

You don't ignore a real court claim, unless you want a default judgement!

Can anyone confirm danball got the help he needed or was he from a scammer trying to scare people?
Because people looking in at this post might panic when seeing it..

Its only recent, so I would think he's being helped offline, where prying PPCs cannot see what defence is being prepared.

I can think of at least two rock solid defence points for Danball, which I would be gobsmacked if they didn't force a strike out, or ensure a win.

I have just come across this thread. I cannot offer any further advice than what has already been suggested by people more qualified than myself.

However, I am reminded of this story from last year, when a car with occupants still inside was clamped.

my first post and hoping someone can help.
got clamped by a securak thief today.i just turned into a car park, turned the car around and stopped for around 10seconds.one guy came to my drivers side front window and asked what i was doing here.i replied that my wife is just coming to the car.he said dont move as a clamp has been put on the car.i did not even hear or feel this being done as my engine was still running and they make sure they go to the rear left wheel so less chance of being spotted.
the guy who fitted the clamp then put a ticket on my car a few minutes later.
my wife asked the first guy to take the payment and let us go but he was having a funny conversation with his son on the phone.he then told my wife to shut up.
i paid the money to them and the first guy then said that i have an outstanding ticket from 221 days ago that they will be chasing me for.i said i have never had a ticket from them before today and if i had why have they not pursued me for payment.i have had no demands from them and have never had a ticket from them.
is there anything i can do to find out about this outstanding ticket or is it a way for them steal a much larger sum from me by saying that it was issued 221 days ago.
i would be grateful for any help as this is really worrying me. i have never been chased for money before
thanks

You don't need to find out anything about that phantom ticket. The whole thing is a scam and there is no previous ticket hanging over you. They cannot chase you for it, if there really was a fake PCN from months ago you would have had letters about it (which you would have IGNORED of course). There clearly was no previous fake ticket, they were having you on to try to extort more money.

How much did they take from you? Did you see their SIA Licence numbers? Did you see any warning notices there that would have made you aware of the possibility of being clamped? Did you get a receipt?

Can't understand why you are worried. I would be VERY ANGRY.

You know you can sue whoever contracted those clampers to be there, and probably get your money back in a Small Claim? Whose land was it, which premises were there? Do you know who the clampers acted on behalf of?

SUE BOTH PARTIES and stop worrying about being chased for made up tickets, they must have seen you had fallen for their scam and thought you were a pushover (sorry), so they tried an extra tactic to line their grubby pockets. :mad:

If you want your money back post on pepipoo forums with a copy (close up photo) of the receipt & as much info as you can give, can you get pics of the signage THIS WEEK because it will likely be taken down in 2 weeks time when clamping is banned. Post all your pics in a new thread here:

Get their help all along the way. DO NOT SUE THE CLAMPERS ALONE, INCLUDE WHOEVER CONTRACTED THEM THERE.
