Thanks for that godpikachu, nice template for my complaint.

Thanks all. I think the least I should do now is write a letter of complaint, not that I expect much to come of it.

Had a call to return to work tomorrow. Merry Christmas HFH Parking Management. You have at least one lying toerag working for you. ;-)

Thank You.

Just a quick update. Had my hearing, the guys that sat in were actually a little bemused as to what I had done wrong. The clampers complaint seems to centre around a funeral parlour whose back door is in the car park, they were saying I was blocking a hearse that came to take a coffin to a funeral. After showing them the picture I had taken of the car park and where the funeral directors back doors were in relation to my truck, they couldn't understand the complaint. In fact, the hearse was easily able to enter the car park, pick up the coffin and leave, all this while the clampers were dealing with me. Now sat at home waiting to hear from my employer.

Monday is just a investigation into the allegation, the way all this has happened would suggest it may very well go to a disciplinary. The reason I say a union rep would not help is the time I have been employed by this company, means the can reasonably dissmiss me without me being able to challenge it.

Wouldn't make any difference.

Sad thing is, I am pretty sure it will cost me my job, have taken some advice and because I have only worked for them for 15 weeks, I have no rights as regards unfair dissmissal.

Of course I expected a reply like yours. I said nothing wrong to them, I never swore at them, any foul language or abuse came from one of the clampers. I too am at a loss as to why they reported me.

i could ring your employer up and tell them that as well as being physically violent towards me, you also kidnapped my first born son, set fire to my house and sodomised my dog, would they discipline you for that as well? Thanks for that, brought a smile!! Thank you for all replies, I will come back to let you know what happens and will take on board advice given. TA

if the outlet has had documented complaints No, like I said it was hearsay stuff the customer had heard, would not stand up anywhere no matter how true.

Is there any CC TV evidence from the car park, Unfortunately not, I phoned the outlet I delivered to today and he told me they don't have a cam. He did however tell me there have been a few unsavoury incidents with these guys but thats heresay so won't help me.

TBH I would accept a written warning on this for allowing myself to be clamped and costing the company £388. Hazard of the job, what I am finding difficult to understand is why the clamper felt the need to make a totally false complaint against me.

As said, I will be given all details Monday as it is only investigatory. You say that you were suspended when you returned - how was this carried out? I was simply led into a room and handed my letter and told to return for investigation on Monday. Were you given the right to have a witness present? Not for this no. Has the suspension been confirmed in writing? Yes. Secondly, are you sure that the clamping was lawfully carried out? Who was the company responsible and are they SIA registered? Yes, have checked their website. What signage was there to warn of the possibility of being clamped? Was this clear? Yes, was very clearly stated about clamping. I am not complaining about being clamped, it's the fact they reported me to work for doing nothing basically. As a delivery driver who often delivers in clamping areas you tend to forget about the signs, no excuse I know but thats the way it is.

I have been told they have to give me details at my investigation, I also have to put my version of events in then they will decide whether or not to take it to a disciplinary. In no way was I abusive nor did I say anything offensive, if you saw the size of the guy nor would anyone else!!
