Man faces debt collectors after typing wrong digit while paying £5 parking fee

A man has told how he is being threatened by debt collectors after paying for a £5 airport parking fee but mistyped a digit on his car number plate.

Pravin Kotecha, from Thurmaston, paid for an online ticket at Heathrow Airport, when dropping off his wife in November last year, and received a confirmation email from the parking firm APCOA saying that it had been accepted.

It was later that he found out that he had typed a single digit of his number plate wrongly, reported LeicestershireLive.
