I had left my car at Micro Business Park, 46-50 Greatorex Street, London, E1 5NP to go to the shop and buy some credit for my phone so I could Phone my solicitor Soni & Kuar as I had an appointment with him. I come to my car no more than 5 minutes later and see that it has been clamed. I told the officer my situation and that I was waiting for a permit from my solicitor but he did not want to know. I had to pay £205 to get the car declamped and was told to appeal. I phoned in and was told to send a letter, I sent the letter but did not recieve any reply, I phoned again and was told by a team member named Ryan to email the claim to him, I emailed the claim to him on the 14th Oct 2010, then again on the 27th Oct 2010. I phoned in again some time later as I did not get no response from anyone and was told that the appeal on the fine had been declined and that was it. They would not give me a reason as to why it was declined.
I was told by Ryan that the officer should have left the clamp on for at least 10-15 minutes, but the clamp was taken off in less than 10 minutes. I had to pay £205 to declamp the car or it was going to get towed away. I explained to the officer that I was waiting for my solicitor to sort out the permit issue but i just needed to phone him.
