DVLA Trespassing

[andrew e]

Found stuck to the neighbours driveway bound Megane coupe - can they? Trespassing surely (forgetting the fact they would have stood on my drive to a fix it anyway...)

 

 

First one I've seen - whats the deal here?

[warren t claim]

That's not the DVLA. It's bailiffs.

[andrew e]

I recognise that (SORN fine I guess?) but I thought cars could only be lifted if off the property? I.E. the highway?

[Cheggers]

As Warren says, that looks more like a private concern than the Doovla/ gummit ( )

 

EDIT: I just tried calling the number on the notice, and it seems to be a bailiff working on behalf of a private car park management company?

[Mr_Bo11ox]

all sounds very sus, i'd be shifting it or chaining it to another car or something in case it 'disappears'

[andrew e]

It would be handy if it went, It would mean his regular car got parked on the drive instead of the street! I'd not seen one before so I thought you lot might like a gander.

[scooters]

Private car park company = bunch of crooks more like!

 

I would not hestate to take an angle grinder to the clamp

[pbottomley]

That mobile number belongs to Ricky

The joys of a google search

I'd be very tempted to just chop the clamp off.

[Pete-M]

Aye, ignore him. Look at that beard. He's a tosser.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

LOL! What a fanny.

[Lankytim]

He's got a car for sale. Is it worth ringing the number to arrange a viewing and turning up an hour early to wheelclamp his car?

Then theres hope for me opening this*.

 

*Failure to pay 500% per day means your kneecaps, after that its your family etc etc etc.....

 

LOL! What a fanny.

 

Right to the point.

[scooters]

Makes me glad I live in Scotland where such activities are very much illegal...

 

This guy looks like a right cunt....he's also very thick using his mobile number as his business number...what is to stop one of his victims pouring a tin of nitromorse over his chav Honda....

 

Tempted to post his mobile number on a gay chat room...

[worldofceri]

Probably using his work number to sell his car. Or someone else's wot he's just Hiabed.

I WANNA BE JUST LIKE ROSS KEMP WHEN I GROW UP

[Pete-M]

This just reminded me.

 

Chap I know owns a garage, buggered off to Goa on holiday early yesterday morning (Tuesday) leaving a Ford Galaxy on the pub car park. Untaxed.

 

DVLA have clamped it. He's away for three weeks. According to DVLA's website you pay £100 to get it released within 24 hours (provided it's either taxed or you've paid a £160 surety to say it'll be taxed within a fortnight). After 24 hours it's £200 as they come and tow it away, then charge £21 a day storage, then after a fortnight if the car is "of monetary value" they send it to auction. You still have to pay the fine though.

 

Now, the chap who owns the garage, and who has parked untaxed cars on the pub's private car park for years, is not contactable as he's in Goa. So he's basically just lost a couple of grand through the DVLA contracted people clamping his car on private ground.

 

A tad unfair. He'll probably close his garage when he finds out about it. I suspect he'll just go off and retire.

[Cavcraft]

If I ever get clamped I'm going back a few weeks later in the middle of the night in a cheap auction purchased car, filling the boot full of paint tins with no lids on and undoing the wheelnuts.

Unfair? Surely it's downright illegal?

There's a grey area in off road and accesibility to the highway, it's bad law and difficult to know where you stand as the divvy and clampers bend the rules / make them up. If they can clamp in a pub car park then why not your driveway. if the guy has the pub landlords permission, then all is legal, if not, then it's easy to guess who reported the car.
