Apcoa clamped my car

@Caranica thank you for your answer.

For future reference- I rang apcoa directly and asked. They said there's no additional charge, just once off payment whatever it says on the receipt left on the car. Maybe it depends on the area then.

Why is it so awkward to get straight helpful answer from some people? Why all of a sudden everyone wants to know the history of my clamped car 😂

Ok, here it goes u nosy cows...

I am living in this private complex- I'm one of the tenants. It's nowhere near the airport btw 😂 I just bought a new car and left it in one of the spots that are communal (don't belong to any apartment). The car is awaiting logbook, tax disc, proper valet insurance etc. Also, I need to sell my current car that is parked next to it in the spot assigned to my apt. I don't want that bloody clamp removed asap for a reason that would give me a bit of satisfaction- the longer this clamp stays on my car, the less money apcoa is making on it. As I said, I rang and woman said there is only one charge of 125, no additional charges for late removal. Hope that satisfies anyone that has nothing better to do, but to ask silly questions of 'why this, why that'.

As far as I read here on boards apcoa has no towing services available.

To answer your question- I didn't have all the details on hand at the time of creating this topic, I couldn't ring at the time and I was really hoping that you gonna see it and give me a straight and constructive answer... More luck next time maybe? 😉

Second part of your post is quite helpful - you are right, better to have it in writing. I suspect however that they won't answer to my email at all or delay it. Also, since I was told so over the phone (they say the calls are recorded) and signs in the area say nothing about additional charger nor time frame, is that not enough? Let's say I do write them an email and they answer after 3 weeks that there are additional charges of 150 euro per day, would they not claim then I was notified?

Thanks, for suggestion. Tried that route at first. Visitors' parking spaces as well as few others (not really parking spaces, just gravel next to the wall where people can leave their cars without obstructing others) are all taken by tenants. Nobody sends texts to apcoa re parking (subject to visitors spots only), yet I was the lucky one to get jewellery on the car😉 I'm parked on that gravel next to my own 'proper' spot. Management says 'oh it's not us, it's apcoa' and apcoa doesn't want to hear anything about it, just 'give us your money and shut up' kinda approach. So the least I can do is make that clamp have a bit of holidays. I'm not rushing 😎

Thanks for the info. Does it say 125 per day on the signage tho? Where I am it only says release charge €125 and then some irrelevant made up charges for towing cars etc.

By private complex I mean blocks of APTS on private land owned by a land owner and not public grounds ie carpark in a town

You are totally wrong here.

First this is my new account, as from having a a long break from boards I forgot my details 😂

I'm not calling ppl names for having different opinion. I wouldnt care less if some had a different one to mine, it's actually constructive. What I always dosliked here was people like u deviating totally from the main subject so that topic that should take max 5 constructive posts becomes an elaborate for 1.5 hours read. PS I know I'm contributing to it now, but i was called to the blackboard, so there u go.

Lastly, my favourite- "you're only new here, so shut up and be grateful" 😁 how much time u want me to spend here on boards to be able to disagree with you?

My last (maybe second last 😂) answer to your posts...

Again, you are new here so don't you dare...

People asking silly questions and right from the start accusing me of being bold and leaving my car somewhere next to the airport is not contributing, it only creates a mess in the topic.

You are so scrupulate with apcoa parking regulations, yet you drive a van that should not be on the road, you are supposed to have all your up to date discs clearly visible on the car. Btw, if u transferred your old ins (from a previous car to a new one) I'm fairly sure you should get new disc and new policy number, as that's exactly what I experienced.

Lastly valeting new car... 🤦‍♂️... I'm so, so, so sorry. This car is only new to me, but was manufactured few years back 😁 hope you will forgive me. If I only knew this carries such an importance on this matter...

Nosy cows- it was written with a gentle smile on my face, noticing how some people behave. No insulting intended. You are very gentle for a someone that drives a van... Have a good day pal.

Spare clamp? It's not a wheel... You either make money using them or you don't.

Don't get me wrong, I know they won't go under because of it.
