Couple's anger over traffic fine

A couple from Leicestershire have been fined almost £1,000 for not paying the traffic congestion charge in London.

William and Kerry Mitchell, from East Goscote, say they were horrified when bailiffs arrived at their business and took several computers.

They were fined after failing to pay £5 for driving in London last year, but say they did not receive the notice because it was sent to an old address.

Mr and Mrs Mitchell say they plan to fight the fine in the courts.

Mounting interest plus court and administrative costs pushed the fine up to £987.41.
