yup theres a difference between official council run wardens clamping a car and an over zelous cowboy firm , at least with teh counil run firms or firms working for them they are slightly better to negotiate with and are more likely to abide by the law andnot ignore it blatantly

from what was posted though i dont see any grounds to complain, they were parked illigaly and the firm was legitimate, the price may well be considered steep but if warnings were displayed im afraid thast teh car owners fault for not taking a good look around

if there wasnt any warning signs and the firm towed the car away then yes that would be wrong

private clamping companies shodl be abolished and teh law put back into teh hands of those that are supposed to uphold it ie: the police

fines would easily pay for the extra cops
