Woman ordered to pay £24,500 in parking tickets
A Woman in Scotland has been ordered to pay £24,500 in unpaid parking fines
A woman has been ordered to pay a private parking company £24,500 in unpaid charges.
Carly Mackie repeatedly left her Mini at Dundee's Waterfront without a permit, claiming that the tickets she was receiving were unenforceable and felt that because she lived in the area she was entitled to park there.
Sheriff George Way said the charges were from a "valid contract" and she was liable for them.
Vehicle Control Services (VCS) took the 28-year-old to court last year after she failed to pay £18,500 in private parking notices.
Ms Mackie parked outside the garage and would not accept the offer of a parking permit for a space nearby for £40 per month.
The sheriff dealing with the case said Ms Mackie had "entirely misdirected herself" on both the law and "the contractual chain" in the case.
This is thought to be the biggest parking fine ever handed out in the UK.
