Hi everyone, I just came across this forum as i myself am dealing with the CES as well. last friday i was clamped in a parking space which is part of the lease i have on my property therefore i own the parking space. I found out that my permit (which was given to all residents who own parking spaces as unauthorised persons were parking at the property) had fallen and was not visable. i phoned the CES and asked why i had been clamped and got a rude bloke who went on saying my permit was not showing and he didnt care if i owned the parking space. at this point i just wanted the clamp off as my partner needed to go work so agreed to pay the £125. when they came to take the clamp off i asked who had done it as i regularly see them come into the property. the bloke said he had but then went onto say that he did recoignise my car but his colleague prompted him to clamp. I payed the fine and today called the property management of my building and told them what had happened. the lady told me that as they recoignised the car and always have known its parked there they should have phoned them and requested the information needed, this is a procedure they have just put in place with them. on my receipt i noticed that they claimed to have clamped my car at 6.39pm - if that was the case i would have heard them, i was at home, and which also happens to be outside the office hours for the property management. while waiting for them to take the clamp off a fellow resident walked past and said he saw them doing it and was surprised and he said this happened between 4-4.30pm!! i am going to appeal and hope to get my money back but the CES said they cannot guarantee it. Please can anyone advise my the best way in getting my money back? thanks
