Advice needed to stop my car being clapmped by Dca

[Big Fella]

Hi All,

 

To cut a long story short, my car will be clamped when I drive back to my flat (I've been away for a month) and would like advice please on what to write today to both Davies Enforcement and Dkb, to stop this happening.

 

During the early part of last year, I was given a number of parking tickets whilst dashing around to buy kit for last minute contract away.

 

To keep it brief, I was away for some time and when I arrived back, my car was clamped by Davies Enforcement.

 

I paid that and agreed to make monthly payments for the remainder.

 

However, they set the amount very high which I advised them I couldn't afford but they wouldn't accept less.

 

I made the first 4 but am not able to pay last months and so called them before it was due to advise and ask if I could make a smaller payment. They wouldn't agree and said that I had to make the amountor they would clamp and tow my car away.

 

Due to my job and where I live, I can't work without my car.

 

I'm about to drive back and am really worried that they will clamp it as soon as I arrive back.

 

I can't really hide it and can't risk the car being clamped.

 

So I was wondering if anyone is aware of a letter that I could post recorded delivery today, which will make them stop and think and therefore not clamp my car.

 

I am genuine and will make an intial payment as a token gesture and then pay off at the worst case with 2-3 months.

 

DKB clamped my car last year and point blank refused to accept any instalment offer and so I need to send the same letter to them.

 

This is really worrying me and so any help will be greatfully appreciated.

 

Thank you.

ps. Davies clamped my car whilst it was on private property in a car park below the flats (gate was open) and I'm not sure if they can do that?

They can only invoice and if you took it to a small claims court, you woudl get your money back. Could you please elaborate on the parking arrangemenst for the flats. Do you requrie a pass etc?

Why not sell the car to a mate for a quid and then borrow it of them when you need it;)

Hi Surfer,

 

We don't need a pass and unfortunately, the gates are permanently open.

 

I'm concious also that if they don't clamp when inside the gates, which Davies did, they will clamp it if they see me parked somewhere....

 

I can only assume that the only option is to write to them today as moving back on Friday and so any advice or suitable worded letters will be most apprewciated.

 

Thanks,

Apologies for being a bit thick, but I still do not understand why they are clamping you. Do you park on yellow lines or are you not allowed to aprk there at all? Either way you will find that they cannot enforce ti unless they are acting on behalf of a council. Methinks that you should dispute it which efectively will put a hold on any action and then consider whether it is worth pursuing through the small claims court to get back some of the money you have paid. Have a good read through the parking "sticky" also. Don't let them get a penny of your money.
