So, yes, it was not properly displayed. The clamper man was still there so I asked him about it and he said appeals have to be online, but you have to pay 1st. So I paid €120 and left.

I appealed online and on Monday heard back that my appeal had been denied as the ticket was not properly displayed. I can appeal a second time to the Independent Parking Appeals Service but there is a cost of €20 which will be refunded if the appeal is successful.

Should I keep trying? Or am I just in the wrong and should have checked my parking ticket more carefully???]]> https://www.boards.ie/discussion/2056929468/fraduland-clamper-galway-beware Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:15:58 +0000 Motors thisNthat 2056929468@/discussions
I feel I need to make people aware of a fraudulent Clamper going around Galway City,
Today I got clamped (My own fault, I parked on private property and except I was in the wrong 100%).

When I came back to the car the clamper was just finished clamping the car,
I asked him how much it was and he said €120, I said I don't have €120, he asked me how much I had, I looked in my wallet and I had €60 cash, he said I can let you go for €60 but I can't give you a receipt. I asked him; so you can do that? He said yes because he hadn't put it on the system yet.

I realised straight away a handy €60 for this Fu**er and no-one else knows, I though ya know what - F-you.
I'll pay the €120 (I'd rather pay the full €120 than give this fu**er €60 in the pocket).

So he went over to his van and put it in the system and handed me my ticket, he then got out again took pictures of the clamp and it on my car.

I walked into town to get the money and was back at the car in 20mins or so, I called the number on the ticket and he came back about an hour later and I paid him the €120 and got the receipt but I took pictures of him when he came back to remove the clamp so people can be aware of this clamper as he is out to line his own pockets in any way he can and the thing is, its just his word against mine so he'll deny all and keep getting his pockets lined from people who don't want to pay the full €120,

I feel it only right to make people aware of the kind of corruption and fraud that is going on with this clamper in Galway city. If he tried it with me then how many others has he tried it with.

I have no issue with the actual clamping as I was 100% in the wrong but I do take issue with this guy exploiting people with a cash and no receipt option which is complete and utter fraud and no doubt people have availed of this with whatever cash they had in their pockets but I'm dammed if I'm lining this assh**es pocket.

He's polish and about 6 foot tall, thin build, Please see pic's below and make people aware of this guy,

This has to stop!!
