    Equitas have clamped my car!

    My husband left for work this morning to find a notice of seizure posted through the. Letter box for a PNC. Upon leaving the house he noticed that me car had been clamped. The letter claims that my car will be removed unless I pay £340 within 24 hours. The car is on HP. I haven't got this money. I called Equitas on Wednesday to pay the original debt £90. But they refused to deal with me and gave me thebaliffs number. I called him and told him that I wanted to pay and he told me he would call me back. He never did. I don't want to call him yet until I know where I stand. Please help

    Re: Equitas have clamped my car!

    Do you have any proof of the content of the call you made on Wednesday? I ask because I now see a pattern emerging from Equita. You are not the only one that has rang to be told they can't do anything until you speak to the assigned Bailiff. This is in turn is boosting the monies they are claiming.

    Was there a reason the original ticket never got paid?

      As for the car being on HP did you advise them of this? You will need to supply a copy of the agreement to them.

        I have had no further dealings with the bailiff, other than the letter through the door this morning

            Wow something amazing has happened. My husband phoned the bailiff and stated that I had telephoned on Wednesday to pay the bill and the bailiff stated that he had removed the clamp and that I should phone Equitas and just pay the original amount. Sure enough the clamp had been removed :tinysmile_hmm_t2:

              Thats a bit strange, within 30mins of you posting, the bailiff has been round and removed the clamp, after your husband phoned the bailiff.

              Sorry for being skeptical, but something doesn't add up here, that's way to quick and not likely.

                  I don't know, within 30mins of the thread being started, they wouldn't know who the OP is from the Thread. The bailiff was likely busy clamping somebody else's car. So to have read the thread, work out who the OP is and get to the OP's Home and remove the car and leave unnoticed, all within 30mins.... sounds suspect to me.

                    Initial post made at 1500hrs - post at 1730hrs re removal adds up to 2.5 hrs according to my maths. Plenty of time for the office to read and advise their Bailiff. As for recognising who it is - easy taking into account day this was done and amount they are claiming. I'll take my deerstalker off now.

                          Well i still think its a bit strange TBH.

                          The OP never gave any idea as to her ID or the bailiffs name, so out of, hundreds off people where bailiffs were enforcing PNC's that morning for Equita, they traced her within 2 1/2 hours of her starting this thread.

                          I think the OP must have mentioned to the bailiff the car was on HP and despite what he told her, he decided to remove the clamp knowing he couldn't take the car.
