A woman was charged £4,586 instead of £4.50 for a two-hour stay at a car park in Slough, UK. Yaditi Kava, 39, was shocked when she realized the error but struggled to get a refund until BBC Three Counties Radio intervened. The incident, attributed to a faulty machine, led to a three-week ordeal for Kava, who needed the money for legal fees during a divorce. Savills, the shopping center's manager, is investigating the system to prevent such issues in the future.
