Hohohoho - not only did you definitely NOT contravene any of the t&cs on that rubbishy sign whatsoever but this is also a terrible company:

A 'phoenix' version of the old Newline Securities, who were unusually norty enough to actually get kicked out by the BPA:

There is a connection, see this CAG thread:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?233479-Newline-Securities/page2

Post #25 mentions that the person clamped in that thread had a receipt with both 'Newline Parking Management Ltd' and 'Newline Securities' on it.

And happily, in post #29 the OP reports they got the money refunded:

''OK,after 10 long months,I have finally had my money refunded.It took a lot of pressure on,and from,the landlord but at last it is all over.Justice has been done,although not in quite the way I would have wished.The landlord made Newline refund my money as a condition of renewing their contract to clamp on his property.It was simply a case of them weighing up the financial implications,not admitting they had acted wrongly.''

Pressure on the landowner and managing agent IS the way forward in your situation, I have seen it loads of times on pepipoo. You can argue that the agent who allowed Newline onsite has neglected to make proper checks that they are using a reputable agent and so they deserve everything they get if this ends up in Court. But keep up the pressure, just saying clearly that you are going to sue unless you get a refund within, say 14 days.

Post about it on pepipoo (not on Consumer Action Group, waste of space parking forum IMHO except for the odd useful thread to quote, like the above). Pepipoo have the expertise and they can help you write a nice concise LBA.

lol thats funny stuff, well it all looks good

Thanks

Anyone else wondering what an 'Over Night Clamp Fee' is, given that you can only charge for the single act of releasing a clamp, not for having one on a car?

Probably clamping you at 23:59 and towing you away at 00:01

ManxRed

They are still only allowed to charge a one off fee in relation to removing the clamp.

Here is the reciept i they wrote out, (reciept now removed)

peter_the_piper

Newline at the bottom so its likely its just another part of the same.

peteq1972

ManxRed

Can you edit that receipt pic and scrub out your personal details?

peteq1972

Hmm, probably should, cheers Done
