I'm pretty sure clamping companies are used to this. If you put through a chargeback, and they'll immediately dispute it, and the money will go out of your account again.Would I be better of issueing a chargeback on the credit card payment rather than appeal?

The OP said she could have sent a text. But she forgot.The management compay should have a process in place with the clamping company for this kind of scenario am sure you're not the first person who has had to get a replacement car at short notice due to crash \ mechanical etc.
You should have put up a notice in the car that it was a replacement vehicle at the very least, with your actual reg number and phone no.
The management company have zero to do with this, can’t believe you’re even thinking of deducting the cost of your error on them.
The clampers have a job to do, it costs them to clamp. They make money from the fees. Someone had to check the car park, clamp your car, then send someone to unclamp you. All that costs money.

Thanks for the harsh words Bronte - if only we all were as mistake free as you.
On other occasions I have been clamped because of my own mistakes and had to pay, I call it a stupidity tax, as there is no-one else to blame but my own stupidity for not doing what I should have done.
I've been clamped,
And the OP thought I was harsh! LOL. Brilliant post by the way. I've been clamped, who hasn't. And it was entirely my own stupidity. As it was only new in Ireland, back in the day, I managed to cajole the clamper to take half. Fingers crossed, never been clamped since. Because of that life experience, and many others, I double check what the rules are on every street I dare to park in. You can get caught out on the continent by things like markets, parking permits, language, side of the road, Italian Sunday requirement payment etc etc etc.
Henceforth I shall call it a stupidity tax.
