Finally a Wheel Clamper is Imprisoned

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Last month the owners of a wheel-clamping firm went to prison.
Rebecca Meakin and Cameron Khan were both convicted by Judge
Simon Tonking to Four and a half years on charges of Blackmail
and Conspiracy to Blackmail.

If you’ve ever been wheel clamped you’ll probably know how it
feels.

I’m glad that this prison sentence has happened because the
majority of wheel clamping firms use, frankly, extortionate
tactics to get their hands on your money and are generally
regarded as a major public nuisance, seemingly able to commit
crime — only with the law on their side.

Hopefully a few of the more prudent clampers will quit while
they are ahead, or at least stop using the worst of their
tactics.

The Judge said regulation of the UK Clamping industry was
“far from rigorous”, and added “the boundaries between what is
lawful and unlawful are un-clear”.

If you’ve ever been clamped or had any clamping “company” trying
to extort money from you, I am sure you will join in
commending this sentence.

Ian O’Grady does have some template letters that
are designed to recover your money if you ever get clamped.

We’ve not actually tested them ourselfs yet on a wheel clamping
firm (I must get around to doing that!), but I understand that
they are very effective.

You can also adapt them to any circumstance where you feel that
money that has been taken from you using extortionate tactics,
to get your money refunded.

P.S. Ian is giving a 10 year trial on this product, which I
think is a pretty decent guarantee if ever there was one!
