Hi Wonder ifanyone can help, i went to see some new friends in their new house, and i had to obtain a residents parking voucher. Please bear in mind i also have a 2 chronic long term diseases. I pulled up outside their house to a) use their facilities due to side effects of drugs i am taking, and b) to get a residents parking voucher. I pulled up in a car park oposite their house.
There were signs up by a parking company, however i did leave the car there for a few minutes while i a) used the loo and B)gained a parking permit.
when i came back my car had been clamped and i had to pay 120 pounds to release my car.
I waited 20 minutes for them to come, my car aparently was detected at 7pm and clamped at 7.03? Please help is there anything i can do.
Have you paid to have the M/V released? If so it is much harder to get the money back from these muppets than otherwise had you not paid.
Contact the clamping company and request a copy of the appeals process, but honestly i wouldn't hold your breathe.
Thanks

Land owner does't need to be registered, only the person applying the clamp.
A very common mistake this is. only the person camping and claiming the money to remove the clamp is required to be registered with the SIA.
Although in my personal opinion the land owner should be also, but thats my opinion which means nothing.
Thanks

Councils are obliged to allow time to get a visitors permit But even if PPC had the same constraints I expect they would argue that since they had time to turn up, find your car, observe for 3 mins, put a clamp on, then drive off all without you seeing them that was plenty of time to get a permit.
We don't know, neither do the clampers, that's the point. Not everyone with a disability gets a blue badge.
If the person was visiting a tenant and was parked with permission the clamping is inherently illegal anyway. Clamping is only lawful against trespassers.
Post by me are intended as a discussion of the issues involved, as these are of general interest to me and others on the forum. Although it is hoped such discussion will be of use to readers, before exposing yourself to risk of loss you should not rely on any principles discussed without confirming the situation with a qualified person.
I think it was this in the first post by the OP that gave the game away
"Please bear in mind i also have a 2 chronic long term diseases. I pulled up outside their house to a) use their facilities due to side effects of drugs i am taking, and b) to get a residents parking voucher. I pulled up in a car park oposite their house."

Whilst a chronic illness is covered as a 'disability' under the DDA it does not mean a sufferer is 'disabled' in the generally accepted sense of the word. Diabetes as example is a long term disease but not many diabetes sufferers would class themselves as 'disabled'. I have a chronic disease and take 3 types of medication a day but 2 years ago ran the London Marathon so it would not really take me any longer to get a permit than anyone else. A deaf person is also classed as disabled would that affect a drivers ability to get a permit? A 'disabled driver' is generally accepted to be someone who qualifies for a blue badge. Without knowing the OPs medical history its not really possible to make a judgment on his ability to get a permit in a timely fashion.

The OP made it clear that their chronic illnesses and side effects of medication do have an impact on them to the extent it took them a while to get sorted out with a permit. But obviously that isn't sufficient enough for you. Clearly you fail to see the injustice of the OP's predicament, but given your views towards motorists in general that is hardly surprising.
clamping within 3 minutes?
