The Northern Ireland Consumer Council has issued a reminder to people to take care when parking in privately managed car parks.
With the number of private car parks increasing across Northern Ireland, the consumer watchdog also has advice on how to avoid getting a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) and what people can do when they receive one.
Earlier this week, Belfast Live reported on the plight of a Co Down woman who was hit with a parking fine due to entering the wrong number plate details.
