A single mum is terrified about spiralling into debt after being slapped with a parking fine.
Catherine Bowden took her two children to a McDonald's in Walsgrave, Coventry, on November 2 last year but overstayed in the car park by 14 minutes.
As a result, the 40-year-old, who works as a kitchen assistant in a care home, was issued a £50 fine which has risen to £170 while she was trying to fight against it.
