Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Something like this is what I would say.Colonel Sanders wrote: »Just thinking if this ever happens to others on here & the guards turn up is there a one liner you can come out with to (politely) tell them what you're doing is legit & you're not breaking any laws
Guard, [Company] have applied a clamp to immobilise my vehicle. The want XXX amount of money to remove it. I have decided to remove the clamp myself, without causing damage, and have full intention on returning to to its rightful owner. I believe I am well within my rights.
Edit: You could also go on to talk about Section 9 CJ (PO) Act 1994. And the possibility of extortion since they are demanding money from you...
Looking forward to pics

There's also a section (113 I think) in the RTA that states it is an offence to interfere with a mechanically propelled vehicle in a public place without lawful reason or something along those lines.
I would imagine that this covers clamping by a private company.0 -

Heh, read this line and started laughing. Naas would be probably no. 1 place in clamping in EU. Also when it comes to parking machines havent seen more anywhere else than in naas. Look at all those f..ks walking around checking if ticket is displayed .... and U left urs for 20min ??? I bet it was clamped 1min after U walked away 0 -
Yes, you are correct but I didn't mention that as that section was amended in 1984 (original act was 1961) to remove "in a public place".Drummerboy08 wrote: »There's also a section (113 I think) in the RTA that states it is an offence to interfere with a mechanically propelled vehicle in a public place without lawful reason or something along those lines.

One of the Guards did mention that by removing the clamp we were in contrevention of a by-law or two, but couldn't tell me exactly what was what.0 -
Indeed they weren't too specific on what bye-law was being breached.
photo's have been resized and edited in some cases and are almost finished uploading. About 20 pics in all which tells enough of the story. For the lads that were there they'll be sad to hear about 10 pics had to be discarded. The quality was just not good enough 0 -
He was probably thinking of the by-laws which cover the local authorities. There is no by-laws regarding private companiesDrummerboy08 wrote: »One of the Guards did mention that by removing the clamp we were in contrevention of a by-law or two, but couldn't tell me exactly what was what.

You could be liable for disciplinary proceedings by the college if your student/staff, since you on their property, I thinkFair play to you's.
Send a few pics of the clamp with a ransom note to NCPS now to top it off.
EDIT: Is the likes of Maynooth college with APCOA the same as above, or is it different because the college have brought them in? 0 -

Great stuff guys And ye have all the pics above to prove absolutely no damage to the clamp, wouldn't put it past those scumbags to damage the clamp when they got it back.
Next time I suggest ringing them for a 'de-clamp' but say you won't pay until the clamper gets there. When he arrives have the clamp all ready for him to take back in his van, no need for ye to be lugging it around till they decide to get it.
Wonder how much one is worth in scrap metal? :P0 -

And feck ringing them for them coming to collect it. Ring them and tell them, for every day you store the clamp, there will be a €20 charge. Also, charge the €500 removal fee...0 -

Nah the guards were happy enough to leave us alone as long as we gave the clamp back. 1 lad did ring them while the guards were there but they didn't seem interested in collecting it. More interested in informing us the guards were called. They didn't know what to say when we told them the guards were there.
We told one of the guards we had every intention of ringing the company after it was removed. We didn't want to ring them before hand in case they rang the guards claiming we were damaging it and thus wasting the guards time. We wanted to ring them and hand it back undamaged. 0 -
