markyp Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Only popped into Maplins to get a new battery for my alarm Yes it was my fault I jumped into a timmy spot right outside the shop. Anyone have any info on these guys to see whats happened to people who have cut the things off the car? I did try and get a locksmith out to take it off but they said they wouldnt come out due to the amount of cameras in the area....They did want £100 but id rather pay the extra fiver to them than the clampers!

Darren-B Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Barstewards! have they left a no. or e-mail address? SPAM THEM!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
From A to Zed Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Be careful mate, they might tow the car and they WILL have a bunch of heavies and ferral dogs at the car lot... This happened to a friend a mine a few weeks ago, he fancied himself until he saw the guys at the lot! You're lucky it was Timmy space rather than a Jimmy space, the fine is much more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roast350z Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 make sure you check the overall condition of your alloys coz i could see a claim coming on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markyp Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Well i'm going down the charge back route first off to see if that works. Not sure how a claim would go, I guess the burden of proof would be on me to say they damaged the wheel. The car only got MOT'd today so I guess I could see if the garage would mind being a witness on the condition of the wheel at the time of the MOT (about a hour after).

Tim S Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Yes it was my fault I jumped into a timmy spot right outside the shop. In which case for heaven's sake man up and take it on the chin. Having said that, have a quick look at the forums at http://www.pepipoo.com first to see if there are any mitigating circumstances (lack of signage etc.).

N1SM0350z Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Even if you got a locksmith out dont they take photo's and your reg? I got clamped in reading once £120!! and there were no signs but i'll leave it there I was fuming to say the least I was having a bl**dy job interview! They are B*stards, you can buy a clamp for about £30 so find out where there premises are and clamp them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
