One said they would ‘rather go to prison’ than pay more money to Euro Car Parks.
Euro Car Parks, a private parking company, has issued parking tickets to drivers who claim they paid but were incorrectly recorded due to faulty machines. Drivers report being bullied and threatened with legal action. The RAC describes the situation as scandalous, urging Euro Car Parks to write off the tickets and the British Parking Association to intervene. The parking industry faces criticism for aggressive debt collection and confusing signage. Drivers have been demanded amounts like £900, with some facing escalating costs. Over 1.7 million parking tickets were issued in the UK in the past year.
