"I wonder if any dealers on here can do an HPI check on the Hyundai featured on Watchdog? The registration is EJ10 LYN.
If these guys have CCJ's then they may have lied on their credit application form. If that is the case then the finance company should know."
I very much doubt the Vehicle registered above has any finance owing on it.

LBS seem to have a free reign to do as they please.
The police are not interested as it's a 'civil matter' (of course if you accidentally damaged the clampers car or likewise they'd be there in an instant), the courts can do f
k all as the company does not bother to pay their ccjs and these guys don't even give a st when it comes to all the negative media publicity.
Hope Karma catches up with these boys one day and their workplace burns to the ground.

This is the only 'My Dad's a solicitor, saw the whole thing and got assaulted, please help me with legal matters." Thread I have ever seen.
Surely to god a solicitor still has the knowledge of basic law and confidence through dealing with clients every day to approach the clampers and threaten legal action and/or to take the matter to the police.
I am quite sure a solicitor in the police station making a complaint is going to be heard more than his son (even with some PH knowledge).
To be fair he did say that his dad deals mainly with family matters rather than criminal matters, so would probably have little experience of this area of the law. I'm a qualified accountant but after 15 years of budgets and monthly reporting I wouldn't like to give out tax advice.Surely to god a solicitor still has the knowledge of basic law and confidence through dealing with clients every day to approach the clampers and threaten legal action and/or to take the matter to the police.

how do you know they dont have a licence?
it seems to me that licences are issued to people not companies.
the guy on watchdog had one last night and there seems to be a licence for someone matching the name of last nights director

it seems to me licences are easy to get and are not an obstalce for most rogues - so it would be silly not to bother if they are large scale

The individual needs a SIA licence for vehicle immobilisation. The company needs to be a Register Approved Contractor for the same. LBS do not appear on the SIA's register (by that name) at all when I just checked - Streakyit seems to me that licences are issued to people not companies.

If you are planning on paying by card with a view to getting your bank to reverse the transaction, make sure you pay over the telephone as this will then be a 'card holder not present' transaction which is a lot easier to reverse than if you were to go there and enter your pin.
edit - and don't use a debit card, use a credit card.

Sorry.Totally and utterly wrong.
Directors can have a nonfrontline licence as long as they don't apply clamps to vehicles. If they do, they require a frontline licence as does anybody working for them who applies clamps. As long as the individual's hold a valid SIA VI licence, then they can operate and run the business.
Currently a company itself, DOES NOT have to be part of the SIA AC register to operate as a clamping/towing company. There is currently NO obligation to be a member of the AC register, whether it be a regular security company, or one that operates a clamping/towing service. It is mearly an SIA quality standard similar to the ISO 9001 audit system.

I mentioned this before in the thread about LBS.
No SIA license, not legal surely?
Nope it's not legal what they are doing as they don't have a SIA licence, I have already reported what happened and had the reply that they are already investigating this company and thank you for my complaint to them, so kinda good news No SIA license, not legal surely?
ETA: Just read the posts above, never mind.
Also here is their Website, it does say they have an SIA licence, can we be sure they don't?
