if its on your front garden, chop the fker off ! thats what i would do

Call the Police? Although they would probably say that its a civil matter.

[RRS_Staffs]

Im guessing its a 'real' parking ticket not a private clamper?

If so Id have thought youd have had to be taken through the court process before a bailiff could do this

Sounds odd to say the least

Good luck

If you own the garden then cut it off, the cheeky bds!

Got a photo?

If the property is yours (not rented) then I believe it's in you juristriction to do what you want. I would firstly look at if they entered your property trespassing without permission.

Who is the clamp from, DVLA or private firm? I wouldn't have though removing the vehicle from your land without your consent is legal as that would be deemed theft unless there is outstand finance over it.

my thoughts exactly

That's nothing.

Had my leg clamped the other day while I sat on the bog reading the Daily Mail...

Some people, eh...?

[Chris71]

It's actually on your property? Not parked half in the garden, half on the road or something? If that's the case then my utterly unqualified suggestion is to chop the damn thing off.

Of course if we're all wrong and there is some bizare legal precedent you'll probably get sent the bill for that too, but I can't see how there would be.

This, plus pics. If they turn up to claim it back you can do them for trespass.

Unless you've been ignoring some rather unpleasant letters...

[Gad-Westy]

There must be more to this story? How long did the original ticket say you had to pay? Is the clamp from the same company/authority that issued the parking ticket?

[Uhura_Fighter]

What type of ticket. Private or Council?

Shirley they can't access your land to do this?

I would cut the fking thing off (Buy some cctv too.)

[dan19evans]

sit in the car in protest.. lets see the bds take it away then

Why buy the mail and read PH? Just click on the links posted.



You should try one of them fancy indoor modern toilets

Redundant post asking about ticket

Cut the fker off and dump it somewhere so they get done for littering..!!!

If it's as clear cut as you say then that is unbelieveable.

car is on my land - about 25 feet from the path. not even near the gate

ive ignored no letters

what do you want a photo of? the clamp it self? where the car is?

just wondering if anyone has heard of this before because i could not find anything on google

it was a council ticket

ring them up and give them an earache about it ?

[Sir Bagalot]

Call the clamping firm and ask them what it's about? As the parking fine is only 16 days old they are not linked

yep do this. and if they give you a stupid reason why they've put it on, ask for a reason why you shouldnt cut the fackin thing off

Cheeky bds,

I would personally cut it off, although they are VERY hard to cut through.
