Heartbroken widow's shock after she's told to pay dead husband's parking fine - or face court action
Marie Boler, 46, whose husband David died aged 53 in December last year, said: “When I said he’s dead, they said, ‘We’re sorry, are you calling to pay?’”A grieving widow was threatened with court action to pay her dead husband’s parking ticket.
Marie Boler, 46, was astonished when a “Notice of intended court action” letter was sent to David, who was 53 and died of heart disease, for £135.
The mum of two, from Chesterfield, Derbys, sent Debt Recovery Plus the death certificate dated last December.
But last week, another demand turned up.
Mrs Boler said: “When I said he’s dead, they said, ‘We’re sorry, are you calling to pay?’”
Marie, who is registered disabled, thinks David was abroad when the ticket was issued in January 2013.
After being contacted by the Sunday People, the firm agreed to drop the fine.
