Going to speak to someone tomorrow, I just know that when I claim that their sign was ambiguous, etc. they'll say no to a refund. It's the head of security who deals with these matters and he's the only one who makes the final decision, he sounds as though he's an authoritarian and I don't believe he will back down. Give someone generally powerless a little power and it goes to their head so to speak! Anyway, here goes...

He actually used his own money bless'im...gives me hope that there are some people left with some integrity

Hi All I am registered as disabled with the university and receive support from them, but I don't have a disabled blue badge. In fact, a bloke from disability had to come and pay the £30.00 for me. I was going to stay at university until midnight that day, thankfully I didn't! They also gave me a notice on my car and a receipt. They haven't provided their SIA number anywhere on either of them. Are they required by law to provide a contact number and how much they will charge for 'un'clamping a vehicle on their notice? If so, would that be my defence? Thanks for your comments

Pictures that may be of help...

Hello All I was clamped whilst visiting my Disability Support worker today on my university campus. I have health problems (anxiety and agoraphobia) and I am classed as disabled at uni. I have a badge that I hadn't displayed properly and there was a sign that stated if I parked where I was I'd be clamped. HOWEVER! The supposed sign was on a piece of white, laminated A4 paper and stuck (sellotaped) to a small salt box, which read: PLEASE DO NOT MOVE (large font size): Movement of this salt bin will result in the vehicle in this space being clamped (smaller font size). I did not move the salt bin, which was also covering double yellow lines (on university property). The reason they said they clamped me was because I didn't have my badge showing properly - mind you, you can't get the car inside uni property as the badge lifts the barriers to get the car inside as well! They claimed they were also licensed to clamp vehicles. Is this legal? Please someone advise, they wouldn't take the clamp off until I paid £30.00 (over a weeks food money for me!). Your advice would be greatly appreciated! MoochingMinnie
