Nottingham mum on Universal Credit 'threatened' over £400 Skegness parking dispute by bailiffs

A single working Nottingham mum on Universal Credit claims she was intimidated by a bailiff worker who demanded almost £400 from her without notice over a parking dispute. Jemma Martin, 31, from Beechdale, travelled to the seaside town for an August bank holiday day out with her then-partner and her children, who were 4-years-old and 18-months-old at the time, reports Lincolnshire Live.

Miss Martin and her family arrived at North Parade car park, but were not able to open their car doors properly in the space in order to get her children and a pushchair in and out of the car. Because there were no parent and child parking spaces, to solve this issue, Miss Martin parked slightly over the white line to create room.

She was consequently given a parking ticket, which she has been disputing with East Lindsey District Council since then. However, on the morning of April 4, 2022, Miss Martin was faced with a visit from the bailiffs.
