Ed Chatterton at McDonalds in Walsall, West Mids, where he was fined for taking too long to eat his dinner in his car. October 8, 2025. // A McDonald's diner has been threatened with legal action after getting a parking fine of almost ??200 for taking longer than 20 minutes to eat his meal at a drive-thru. Ed Chatterton, 42, was slapped with the hefty bill for eating his ??7.19 Chicken Selects meal too slowly at the branch in Walsall, West Mids., on July 25. He's now been threatened with court proceedings despite receiving no notification of the fine in the post - until debt collectors got in touch last week. The letter from a debt recovery company said the original fine of ??60 had now risen to ??170 and he now faced possible legal action for failing to pay. The married dad-of-two said he didn't realise there were restrictions in place which means there is only 20 minutes free parking at the branch. And he says it took him a good 10-15 minutes to get through the busy drive-thru giving him around five or ten minutes to eat his meal in his car. Ed was also left shocked to only learn of the fine when debt collection firm Trace wrote to him to say he now owed almost ??200 for staying 14 minutes over the limit. Photo released 10/10/2025
