A vile Yorkshire clamper called Ted Evans has stepped up his efforts
to trick people out of hundreds of pounds, by clamping their cars in the village of Haworth. The police say they will not get involved except to protect Evans from the public. Can anyone think of some imaginitive ways of turning the tables on this villain with devices, gadgets or solutions? He has gone on a clamping frenzy now, as the law will change next year and it will become illegal for him to clamp cars in England. He uses every trick in the book to confuse people, including using parking spaces that are too small to get a car into, and a ticket machine which gives out incorrectly timed tickets - yes, it's fraud, yet still the police won't act for some reason?

If the police genuinely refuse to act on cases of obvious fraud, ask your MP to take it up with the Home Office. That's the sort of thing he is paid to do. Or you could go straight to the Police Complaints Commission (or whatever they are called). -- Tinkerer |

Turk182 Private land or public roadway? If private, who owns it? If public, what do the parking restrictions say? I'm surprised the men of the village haven't turned out with baseball bats if it's that persistent. If it is clear cut fraud, I think I'd think about cutting or freezing them off and leaving the bits in a big pile until he gets bored with buying clamps. If you want a legal approach, get a few people together, share the cost to go to a solicitor and take an injunction out against him and enquire about suing for "trespass of the goods" or anything else the laywer can think of. Hint: you want a tenacious lawyer, not someone who does 99% conveyancing and wills. -- Tim Watts |

One of his ploys is to tell victims as soon as they discover the clamp that he has now got a vehicle coming to tow them away costing a further £150. People are so scared that they pay on the spot. People are towed away but I don't know if this is an entire car lift! If one places objects in the car that could be damaged if moved, maybe that too could add to his costs. I also wondered if loads of cars turned up at the car park and simply drove around in circles, just what he would be able to do about that! He recently fleeced a dutch tourist by taking ALL her foregin curreny (Euros) amounting to about £300, afterwards claiming that his thugs did not know the exchange rate. A local councillor got the crook to return it, but STILL the police did nothing. I read that the law on Fraud has changed recently. It certainly seems that in the case I mention, that there is fraud involved. I would dearly love to win the lotttery now, simply so I could take this evil lowlife through every stage of legal persecution. Turk182 |

He has gone on a clamping frenzy now, as the law will change next year and it will become illegal for him to clamp cars in England. He uses every trick in the book to confuse people, including using parking spaces that are too small to get a car into, and a ticket machine which gives out incorrectly timed tickets - yes, it's fraud, yet still the police won't act for some reason? Turk182 Pity this lady's aim wasn't too good..... http://www.youtube.com/user/MsWheelclamper Wonder what would have happened if she locked herself in his van until he released the parking clamp?.. and http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/news/tra...lampers_after_ son_is_caught_out_1_3241905 ![]() -- Tony Sayer |

Troll surely. There is no way the police ar enot taking action after that.... Afraid not. It was in the national press a few years back after he clamped Betty Boothroyd. Have a Google for "clamper Haworth Boothroyd" or something similar. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....php?t=1628325 It seems he also has stooges giving people tickets valid until midnight, then clamping them because the tickets are not transferable. The fact is that it is a civil contract, he can legally only claim his losses if the parker is in breach of the contract and he cannot impose penalty charges. I'd have thought by now that some enterprising person could have established a no-win, no-fee litigation service taking batches of these frauds through the county court for a small fee. |

Either that or they know he will intimidate witnesses and thus it will prove a costly waste of time for them to prosecute. Given the stories I have seen from time to time where scum have even clamped police vehicles, that seems rather less than likely. Troll surely. There is no way the police ar enot taking action after that... In one case the police at least started down the road of interfering with police performing their duty (or whatever the phrasing is). Can't remember outcome. Ah! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-15496114 "She was in Portsmouth to have lunch with NCP car park boss Sir Donald Gosling on his yacht. " |

, Turk182 writes A vile Yorkshire clamper called Ted Evans has stepped up his efforts to trick people out of hundreds of pounds, by clamping their cars in the village of Haworth. The police say they will not get involved except to protect Evans from the public. Can anyone think of some imaginitive ways of turning the tables on this villain with devices, gadgets or solutions? He has gone on a clamping frenzy now, as the law will change next year and it will become illegal for him to clamp cars in England. He uses every trick in the book to confuse people, including using parking spaces that are too small to get a car into, and a ticket machine which gives out incorrectly timed tickets - yes, it's fraud, yet still the police won't act for some reason? Turk182 Do what they do in France - fill the locks on the clamps with superglue - then got to town on him when they can't undo the clamp. -- hugh |
