In our Money Secrets series, we ask people to confess their furtive money-related secrets which they are hiding from loved ones or that people do not know the full extent about.

Today, we speak to Heather, whose husband Andy has received hundreds of parking fines over the last 10 years – but has refused to pay a single one.

But while gloating to friends about getting one over the authorities and why it is important to take a stand, he is oblivious to the fact that Heather has been secretly paying his fines for years as she is terrified of getting into trouble.

I’ve always been quite proud of my husband Andy’s principles and the way he stands up for what he believes in and always fights for the underdog.

However, there is one thing we definitely don’t see eye to eye on and that’s the war he wages against traffic wardens, and any kind of authority or organisation that hands out parking fines.
