Despite the usual gung-ho flying around, you are going to end up paying. It's annoying and is bound to make you angry, but it happens every day, sometimes to little old ladies who simply haven't got the necessary hundreds of pounds to pay.
Put it down to experience and dont drink there again. If you have a bunch of mates who drink there, tell them to do the same. You wont get your money back, but you may cost them a few quid in takings.

so, you would just sit back & take it on the nose then

They have the law on their side. As I said, it happens to hundreds every day. They ALL complain, they ALL end up paying. Lobby your MP.

good mind to blow there offices up tbh.

The same thought runs through the heads of lots of people. But the offices are still there and the clampers are still ripping people off.

That doesn't sound like the attitude of an ex pat scouser Steve Undecided

I'd of thought you would have advocated to give as good as you get. Undecided

I would also pay as quick as possible but be very careful as im taking it the elite is auto? if its been towed away rather than lifted then g,box damage could be the result, most of them drag them on the towtruck check very carefully around the front and rear valance mate, then sue them for mechanical/paintwork damage through ill handling, especially as without you knowing where the car is your insurance cannot cover it!!

This is going to be interesting.

They state £40 a day for storage, but yet you cant contact them.

So they make you pay the £80 for Saturday and Sunday but dont give you access the reclaim your car.

I would film the retrieval/collection of your car. point out all the facts you can and then off to the the pubs head office, then the small claims court and forward a copy of the video to watchdog.

Thats not a bad idea, this business of not answering the phone on a Friday afternoon is really a good money spinner, 40 quid a day equals an easy 120 quid come Monday morning if not more!
