 Did you miss it the first time around? This was one of the most viewed stories on BT.com during 2015.

A furious driver has slammed a firm after she was hit with a whopping £18,500 fine for parking - in her own driveway.

Baffled Carly Mackie, 26, has been plagued with daily tickets on her windscreen for more than a year but ignored them because she was parked in front of her own garage.

But she couldn't believe it when she was sent a formal letter by a private parking firm demanding she cough up £18,500 to cover all the tickets.

Carly, who lives with her parents, said she intends to fight Sheffield-based Vehicle Control Services Ltd and is considering moving house.

Angry Carly said: "We have a right to park in front of our own property. I've considered moving out. It just makes my life so hellish.

"I always make a point of parking in front of my own garage, where nobody else could park, and never parking on the double yellow lines on the road."
