What started out as a trip to the local park to walk her dog left motorist Julie Sansom £733 out of pocket and with her credit rating trashed.
Now the 52-year-old is speaking out against the profiteering enforcement company that have left her astonished at the problems she's since faced.
Back in January 2021, she went to Bestwood Country Park in Nottingham only to discover that the formerly free car park was now taking payments of £1 for parking.
It did not take cash or card so she tried to download the app required for payment, only to be told that she already had it.
