My car was scratched and the driver didn’t leave a note – they may not have liked my parking but I can’t afford the bill

A LIVE-in carer claims another driver scratched her car and left without leaving a note.

Lilly Bella Scott, 22, is furious that she now faces a repair bill she said cannot afford.

She parked near her workplace in Beverley, East Yorkshire, on Tuesday when she saw the damage.

Her car was left in a legitimate marked parking spot near a junction.

But some residents have urged the council to reconsider it because of how close it is to a bend.

Lilly told : "I was really angry when someone hit my car.

"I may have parked in a place people wouldn’t agree with, but I was within the lines and it’s a parking space regardless.

"I can’t be the only person it’s happened to so the council should get rid of it if it’s becoming an issue.

 "I don’t know when I’m gonna be able to get the money to fix it, I’ve got other things to pay for and god knows when I’ll be able to afford it.

"I shouldn’t have to scrimp for someone else’s carelessness, but that’s the way life is at the minute really so, there’s not much I can do about it.

";Even if me and the other person go halves it would help.

"I’m not gonna ask questions, everyone does silly things, just say sorry and try and make it right afterwards?"

It comes after other motorists have been mortified at the notes left on their cars.

A mum was left close to tears when she was called a "lazy, fat b*****d" in one.

Paige Murray was accused of parking in a parent and child bay unnecessarily - but she insists that she had her baby with her.

And a gym instructor was fuming when she found a note on her car accusing her vanity.

Carly Bateman, 28, was also told there was no reason to have her SUV in an urban area after eco-activists deflated a tyre outside her home.
