Bit of a rant I'm afraid
I was clamped in Portmarnock DART station about two weeks ago, I had a ticket on my dashboard but when I got out of my car it blew off my dash and landed face up on the passenger seat so the fuck nut who clamped me either saw the ticket and ignored it as it wasn't on my dashbaord or was to fucking inbred to bother looking past the dashboard and onto the passenger seat.
I called the clamper and showed him the ticket on the seat but he said he couldn't remove it without payment, we argued for about 5 minutes then I paid it as I was in a rush but assumed that on appeal, once I explained the situation, sent in a copy of my ticket and picture of my car being parked besdie the ticket machine that I would get a refund. The lad who removed my clamp even gave me his name as he said it would be "an open and shut appeal" and that "the appeals board have common sense"
I recieved a template letter today saying that my appeal had been rejected as I was parked in a pay and display area with no ticket.
I sent in a three page letter explaining everything, that I'd be on CCTV getting my ticket if they checked it, gave them the clampers name, sent copies of invoices, tickets, pictures of my car and the DART station and all I got back was a two paragraph system generated letter.
Anyway does anyone know if their is a higher body to take this to above the appeals people? It's a private carpark so Fingal county counci won't care and it's nothing to do with CIE.
I've gotten the name of the N.C.P.S. CEO and might send him a copy of my letter along with a new one if only to waste his time for a few minutes.... Technically I was in the wrong as the ticket I had wasn't on the dashboard or in clear view but it could still be made out from the pasenger seat ffs
I'm currently thinking of sneaking down to the car park later tonight in the cover of darkness and glueing the slots on four machines shut and repeating that move every month until I feel I've had my revenge.
