Hi all, There's some terrific information on this site and I will be using it in my follow up correspondance with the clamping firm following their rejection of my appeal. I could do with some advice on the following though. On New Years Day I got clamped in my own residential parking space (secure car park) as my parking permit wasn't clearly displayed (it had fallen off into the footwell and wasn't visible). I paid the £150 fine to be released as I needed the car that day. I have written an appeal to the clamping company providing evidence that I am the owner occupier of the space and that I have both of the permits in my possession. This was rebuked but after reading through this forum I now realise that as the clamping firm were employed after I bought the flat that there should be no contract valid and will explore this avenue. However, after doing some digging I found an info sheet from the CAB that provided a link to the SIA licence website where you can search to see if the clamper has a valid licence. This is the interesting bit. On the receipt for the release fee I paid, the SIA Licence number stated does not match with the Operatives name and signature which released my car. So something sounds fishy here and figured this is probably a good avenue to persue. The licence number is valid though. My question is...is the SIA licence number on my receipt, the licence number of the initial clamper or the releaser? The releaser was different to the clamper. Does it matter that these don't match? Also, by collecting my permit and displaying it have a accepted a change in my leasehold contract that allows them to clamp my car? Many thanks
