Dart Charge - Paid a Day late, Road user charge on PCN
« on: »
Hi,

Hope someone can assist.

As above, I have just received a PCN for a Dartford Crossing that it seems I paid a day late. The PCN is dated 15/06 but I have only just received it.

The PCN lists the Road User Charge as part of the fine.

If I remember rightly, they aren’t allowed to do this.


Is there any chance that someone has wording that I can use on the appeal please.


Many, many thanks in advance.

Check online what they're asking you to pay. I did this recently, 2 crossings, so I went online to pay it and all I had to pay was the charge itself because it was my 1st time.

They did send me a pcn a few years ago actually, so I appealed it and attached a copy of the bloody receipt to show I had paid it!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply but over the years this isn’t the first time time unfortunately.


Cheers

Cannot just be passed by without detailed analysis IMO.

Do you live at the address on the PCN, or perhaps you're not the registered keeper, could it be a hire car, or perhaps it was served as presumed but you were on holiday etc?

Pl post the PCN.

I will do when I can but it is the standard PCN which has the £3.50 crossing charge added to the penalty.

I paid the charge although 7 hours late.

I seem to remember that it rendered the PCN invalid if the charge had been paid even if a bit late

This was from Reddit, is it still applicable?

“Do nothing and wait, you have paid the fee, if the system works as intended nothing will happen , occasionally things go wrong and they'll issue some form of penalty for nonpayment, your bank statement will clearly say that you've paid before the penalty for non payment was issued rendering the penalty unlawful, you will then appeal on these grounds and they will accept your appeal.

If you'd left it beyond a certain point the system won't accept payment and that's a whole different situation.”
