Do it clamp those F*ckers, They are a private company and they are not interested in whether you or anyone else breaks the law they only want to make money and such practices are illegal anyway under the constitution. I hope you get your revenge and when and if you are clamped again, Get the bolt cutters ready and cut their clamp off your car, Use an angle grinder too if necessary.

BEST IDEA EVER: Clamp your own car.

Do it near where you know they sometimes stop (but where you can alse park legally). Then angle grind it off the wheel. When they see you doing it, they'll run over, where you can then tell them to fúck off.

Its your car, your wheel, and your clamp: what can they do about it?

Sounds like WIT to me...

5000plus posts and still not a mod, must be killing you. Is that the reasons for your constant dickhead posts.

In all fairness, ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. It translates something like "Can I get in trouble for purposely damaging college property, which yes, is a criminal offence?" Nah, they'll probably send you a written apology for clamping you in the first place.

In Paris when clamping started people used to put superglue into the locks. Not just the owners of the clamped car ! So after about two weeks the clampers gave up.

So pay the €85 and then throw a hissy fit and demand compensation when they can't unclamp the car.

€39 each - simply buy four - you can't put two clamps on the same wheel.

A friend of mine was clamped by the 'real' clampers on Fri night. He realised at about 1am that he was clamped, and had to be somewhere by 1.15am. Then he noticed that part of the clamp was a bit bent out of shape. Naturally, he forced the clamp off the wheel by exploiting the bent bit until the whole clamp was warped. Off he went to his 1.15am rendevous on time.

So the next day he's sitting at home and rings the clampers, saying something like "Yeah I came to my car and there was stickers on it and stuff, but the clamp was lying on the ground beside the car, like someone had pulled it off." They asked could he please drop it back to them. He asked would they drop the €85 if he did - they said no, so he paid the €85 said they can come pick it up themselves then. He lives in Cork and was clamped in Dublin.

Do it, clampers are keniving(Sp?) **** who employ greasy clowns to do their underhand work

I got caught for 65 bones the other day... parked my car around the side of a suppliers shop, went in for literally 30 seconds to pick up a box and came out to find a yellow faced knob gobbler smirking at the side of my car. He hadnt put the clamp on yet so I ran over and said 'Woh Woh, i was in the shop for 30 seconds, isnt this public parking?"... He replies 'no', points at a sign high on the wall, and says that the shop next door have 'claimed the street' for private parking. So then I asked, where am I supposed to park?He replies around the front. But unfortunately, around the front is double yellow lined up the road, so I guess im supposed to park on the footpath. He just mumbles 'not my problem'

I've never been so enraged in my life. Even had to give my cc number to some scummer down the phone.. Felt like fcukin it at the clampers face!!!!:mad: :mad:

im sure there r some rules like if u see them while they r clamping the car u can get them to stop for free same story for guys towing a car, if the car still has all four wheels on the ground then they cant take it if u have come back in time

cud be bull....

Ri_Nollaig

@ neon_glows

It will be a waste of your money,the clamper wuld probably have that argos clamp off in a jiffy.So €39 euro down the pan and plus you still have to pay the clamping fine on top of what you paid for a beaten,chop sawed clamp.

Reaver will you help????? Please????

HAHA

They guys mate is on boards aswell, savage, such a small world.

If no adequate signs are in place im going to cause ****, hey found the below on the goverment website:

Vehicle clamping is in place in the cities of Dublin, Cork and Galway. Services are operated in these cities by private companies on behalf of the local authority. Employees of the vehicle clamping company are entitled to clamp (and de-clamp vehicles) and issue clamping notices for vehicles that are in violation of the parking regulations. Clamping services are also common in car parks of hotels, hospitals, universities and shopping centres to discourage long-term parking at the expense of staff, customers or clients. Clamping on private property is not covered by legislation and owners must make sure that there are adequate signs and warnings notifying the public that clamping is in operation and that full contact details for the company enforcing the clamping are easily available.

Also:

Fines can be paid by cash, cheque, credit card and Laser card. Further details are available from your local authority.

My CC was refused.

and the below seems like a good idea to waste some sentry security time, hehe, im evil

How to apply
Complaints
To make a general complaint or an appeal concerning the operation of the clamping or towing service, you can contact your local authority. It will either have staff dealing with queries and complaints from members of the public or it can give you contact details for whatever company is responsible for parking control in that area. You can either make your complaint by phone or you can write to the relevant authorities, giving details and enclosing any documents that may help your case. Most complaints will be acknowledged within days of receipt. Your claim will be investigated and you should receive a response within a month.

You can also appeal against a parking ticket if you feel you have been fined unfairly. Take as much detail of the scene as you can (photographs, details of road markings, etc) and send them to the local authority traffic division with your parking ticket and a letter outlining your complaint.

Reaver is there a master key for these clamps? mmm, walk around and unclamp people sounds like fun, and no i dont think clamping students cars (students being poor people) and charging them 50euro is grown up.

I aint eaten for two days because of that fine :-(

I think I know the college in question,
where abouts did you park?

It used drive me absolutely nutz when people parked in the motorbike/scooter area only.

Law & BnL day in UCD has collections every morning by the students for Temple St Children's hospital. Usually raises over €20,000 mostly collected in buckets but some other small events.
On the day had to count it in a small room with some helpers, had 2 hired security men. Every counted couple of grand we'd go off to lodge it in the on campus to reduce any robbery risk. One security guy would stay with the money the other would come with us in the car.
Arrive at bank, no spaces so park but still park near bank but not obstructing anything, there was just no white lines (if you knew the place it was in front of those really wide steps). We had to park close because the buckets were very, very heavy. Full to the brim with change.
In there a couple of minutes while the bank took it in, come out and the car is clamped with the van still there.
Still wouldn't remove it even though it was for charity..bastads.

OK: firstly, I believe they have to leave that sticker on the window for 30 minutes before they can clamp/take away your car.

Secondly, check with the local councilor, to see if this is legal. To me, a business claiming the entire street for their own sounds dodgy, as does the bit that it eliminates parking of other business's on the street.

Next time ask the bank can you count in the bank.

Got one of those private clamps in DCU last year. When asked to sign the CC slip to pay I signed a different name. When the charge came through I rang Bank of Ireland, said I didn't sign for that transaction and they did the chargeback. I then found out the security guys car and let the air out of three of his tyres. A bit extreme I know but he was a wanker and deserved it in my opinion.

This is where your problems begin. You wanted to do this you should have told no one.

My sentiments exactly. They also won't be able to tow you....genius.

i dont understand why everyone presumes he will get caught. just do it somewhere with no cctv. clamp the van then walk to a safe distance and wait. if they ask you did you put the clamp on, just say no.

He'll get caught because he told everybody, if the driver wants the day/night off then well make sure that he isn't caught! lol

Hang on...so you did have to pay in the end?

Haha...maybe you all should just get in touch with the man who makes fluorosulphuric acid!

My idea though...buy one of those clamps from Argos and keep it in your boot.
Then put the clamp on your own car when you park.
The clampers may just leave you alone.

Then take it off when you're done and continue on your merry way.
