If you have the address for the company and they are still trading, I would simply send the bailiffs in - which means making an application for a warrant of execution. This involves a further fee - but this can be added to the debt. I suppose that there could be an argument against the management company as your argument would presumably be that the clamping company were acting inder the instructions and with the authority of the management company, and were therefore their agents. You would have to start fresh proceedings against the management company though. I think the best way is to enforce against the clamping company and if you have no joy getting paid, consider an action against the management company. edited by www.clicklegalservices.co.uk on 15/11/2011
