court appear on her doormat six years after being issued what she believed was a waived parking ticket for £70.Donna Davies said she could not believe her misfortune since the charge reappeared just before Christmas last year.In October 2015 Donna, a veterinary receptionist, was three months pregnant with her daughter Sienna after a struggle with infertility.The "over the moon" mum-to-be excitedly visited Norwich's Riverside retail park to buy baby essentials, but lost track of time during her £1,000 spending spree, and was stung with a fine for £70, Norwich Evening News reports.She said: "I got a letter through the door saying that I had been issued with a fine. I called them up, apologised and explained the situation."They said that if I could send my receipts, prove it was a genuine mistake and I had been in the vicinity, they would get back to me."The mum, from Little Plumstead, was then "really relieved" when the fine was waived by the ticketing firm.But her relief didn't last long after a second letter appeared the following month saying the mum-of-one needed to pay the fine immediately.Left in total disbelief, Donna contacted the company saying it had been waived but she never heard back so carried on with life.Then, in October 2021, she received the astonishing news that she was being taken to court by the firm."I was so shocked.
