Hi, I hope you are able to help.

I received a PCN today for my vehicle a Citroen Spacetourer LV68 FMC. The notice states I crossed the Dartford Crossing for the first time at 20.22 on the 2nd of March 2025 and have failed to pay the toll fee. Except I was at home, with my vehicle, all weekend that weekend.. Happily I have evidence of the car on my drive from a security camera at almost exactly the time they claim it was crossing at Dartford. PCN and screenshots of my parked car below.

Either the ANPR has made a mistake or someone has cloned my number plate. Certainly the very small and dark image that they provide on the PCN doesn't look like my car, nor is it possible to read the number plate.

The representation options do not cater for this situation. How can I go about challenging the fine, please?

Many thanks in advance

Chris L

I got one for my car a year or so ago, in my case the ANPR misread a Y as a V. Despite it asking for £2.50 only, I called them, they took a bit of persuading to check but eventually came back with a cancel.

In your case replacing the V with a Y comes back as no reg.

Call them, they can access better pics, and they were pleasant enough to deal with.

Thanks for your advice. I called them today and a pleasant "Rob" looked closely at their photos and decided that the Mercedes had a different but similar number plate. Their PCN has been cancelled. All is sorted. Thanks for you help. Very much appreciated! Chris
