Steve Cottrell, 63, and his partner Joy were hit with a £100 fine after they spent six minutes and 12 seconds in a car park

A couple feel like they were 'mugged' during a holiday after being slapped with a £100 parking fine. Steve Cottrell, 63, an NHS nurse from Ruthin, North Wales, and his partner Joy, 56, entered the Old Town Car Park in Weymouth on July 15, hoping to find a spot for their car for their week-long trip.

They spent a total of six minutes and 12 seconds in the car park. But after returning from their holiday, Steve was taken aback to find a letter from Parkingeye waiting for him. The letter stated they had been fined £100, reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days, for parking. According to Parkingeye, motorists are given a 'five-minute consideration period' before charges apply. Steve added: 'I was quite shocked because we hadn't actually parked there.
