Title: Re: Any chance of a congestion charge autopay refund off TFL?

Not a PCN so not a case for this forum. You entered the zone and were charged as you should have been. You can only try and escalate a complaint on the signage with TFL. Take some pictures and try again is all you can do.

Hello all,

Went down a side street to stop and take a phone call.  Didn't realize I was entering the zone, signage is turned the wrong way to be seen on approach.  Left by the nearest exit.  Didn't get a PCN or anything but charged on autopay.  Contacted TFL but they rejected out of hand (of course). 

Anywhere to go from here? 

Naturally I can share details properly, but I'm not even sure there's a path to appeal this or what it would look like.
