Car has been clamped

I bought a car last night which my friend bought round for me, I've got up this morning to tax it so I can drive it as I've looked out the window it is being clamped for being untaxed. I ran out of the house to find out what was happening and told them I had just bought it and am taxing it I have proof of purchase plus email from dvla to show it's taxed but they are refusing to remove the clamp unless I pay £100 for it only being on 11 mins.
Is there anything I can do? I've had to get my mum to take dcs to school and there's no way I can get to work

Your friend has been driving an untaxed vehicle for 18 days. It's her mistake and really she needs to take the £100 off what you owe her for the car. DVLA and red corn have done nothing wrong, if she hadn't sold it to you overnight she'd be paying the release fee herself outside her house (unless she had it inside her garage)
