A mum-of-two has been hit with an £850 fine and threatened to be taken to county court by an "aggressive" parking firm.
Faye Verburg told the ECHO she was set to be debt-free by next year - but now will not be able to access any credit for the next five years after the ordeal with Vehicle Control Services.
Ms Verburg, 34, accumulated five consecutive fines for parking outside the JD Gym in Innovation Park as she believed the parking to be free.
