My car was towed away last night in Birmingham from Sherlock Street, next to Oyster Suite/2nd City Suite. We had been to a wedding reception having had a wonderful night just to be greeted by 2 gorillia's, my car was towed away and they were busy clamping the next one. Anyway to cut a long story short the company who took our car call them selves National Parking Control (who have nothing to do with the legitimate National Parking Control company who only issues parking tickets). We pleaded with them to return our car and they said we had to pay £375.00 in cash which we agreed to but they still did not return our car now getting on to 11.30/12 midnight but told us we had to return the next day to pick it up. We had to catch a Taxi home which cost us £45.00. The police did not want to get involved. We were told to go back the next day to the same place where my car was towed and they would bring the it back. We arrived at Sherlock St and called them several times and they made us wait for 2 1/2 hours and same 2 gorilla's turnd up in a small white Van - Reg VK02 LWP. We had to pay them £375.00 IN CASH (I was given a receipt and asked the guy to print his name but he wouldn't - I checked his SIA and name on it was G Southall) We than followed them just round the corner to Moseley Street/Barford Street in a poxy car park (sign on top of wall was Moseley Street Cafe) not even a proper compound. If we had driven around we could have easily found the car ourselves. Doggy NPC is owned by Gary Southall his already been taken to court and failed to turn up. His so called registered office is at 67/27 Colmore Row, Birmingham B3 2EW Tel: 0787 174 3232. Engineers License No. 0230001606461804. Next time your car gets towed by a doggy company - drive around area you might just find it!!!!BTW the £375.00 charges broken down Fee charged release of Clamp £125.00 (remember my card was towed), Fee charged for removal £200.00, fee charged for storage £50.00 (I was willing to pay the same day to get my car back but they wouldn't so they could charge me £50.00 storage charges b******s. I also found Nationwide Parking Control - address same Colmore Row and Tel: 0870 0118938 (G Southall said this number was their Compliants Dept) so same Company.
