If he had crossed via Eurotunnel he would not have been asked for any details about the car other than its general dimensions. As far as I recall BF don't ask for this information either although it's a while since I booked with them. Difficult to prove when the vehicle entered the country without asking Eurotunnel or the ferry company for a copy of the number plate details they appear to record via the low level cameras at check in.


Best Regards

Alan

Police have instant access to these I am sure.

Correct, they only want to  know the length and height of your vehicle.

EDIT:  But then I always book on-line.

Did Mr O manage to retrieve his car in the end?  Is he now back where he should be?

Then you must use a different booking system from the rest of us.

It's just type of vehicle, then some length and weight options to choose when you book via the company web site.

Well done Mr & Mrs O.

Good to hear all is back to normal.  Maybe one day you'll look back and laugh about it, but probably not for some time!

So now he's home, can you give us an update ?

1) Any joy with compensation ? There are "ambulance chaser" type solicitors in UK who say "no win no fee".

2)Any advice for those of us who may be in the same situation ?

3)Mr O thinking of a book ?
