Jimmy James Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Just went in to town to run into bank for 2 minutes, parking lot was full so parked behind a store. Came out 5 mins later to a clamp on my wheel and £125 removal charge. This is robbery in my opinion, in Canada you may get a $30 ticket but £125 removal charge plus an additional £5 surcharge to pay by debit card because they won't accept cash is ridiculous. Has anyone else had a clamp and tried appealing it? I am because there wasn't any no parking signs in the vicinity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Nightmare! I'd always worry about damage to a wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy James Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 The clamp they used didn't go onto wheel at all, they chained it through my front control arm and around the suspension. Wish it was my civic because I would have just stripped it in the parking spot and left it for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
