Ronaldo ‘dodging debt collectors trying to enforce parking fine’
October 24th, 2010 - 2:54 pm ICT by ANILondon, Oct 24 (ANI): Former Manchester United Cristiano Ronaldo, who is worth 80 million pounds, is dodging debt collectors who are trying to enforce a parking fine.
The 25-year-old was hit with a 70 pounds ticket after parking on double yellow lines in Manchester city centre while playing for the Red Devils.
The fine, which was slapped on Ronaldo in 2008, has escalated into hundreds of pounds and the council has sent bailiffs to his mansion to seize some of his belongings.
Two bailiffs from debt collection company Equita have visited Ronaldo’s five-bedroom home in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, which he still owns, on at least two occasions.
“These huge fellas arrived outside his house,” the Daily Star quoted a neighbour as saying.
“They were standing about for ten minutes with a clipboard, hoping someone would answer.
“They said it was worth a trip on the off-chance that he’d visited to check on the property,” said the neighbour.
A council spokesman said: “No matter how rich you are, you can’t just park where you like in Manchester.” (ANI)
