Some car park operators are sending drivers 100 parking charge notices (PCNs) due to what are known as "keying errors" The trade associations for private car parks say drivers should not be given PCNs for "minor" keying errors.

But some drivers are being taken to court if they refuse to pay the 100 charges.

Donna Nash was ordered to pay Excel Parking 282 after she lost a court case against the car park operator.

Sietske Sikkema defended herself against Excel Parking at Derby County Court .

She had accidentally entered her registration incorrectly when using the Copeland Street car park.

Judge said she had made "an innocent mistake" when she typed in " AOV AO14" instead of "AO14 AOV " RAC believes charges for keying errors should be banned.
