@NottsDriver you need to read the guidance here (https://www.ftla.uk/civil-penalty-charge-notices-(councils-tfl-and-so-on)/read-this-first-before-posting-your-case!-this-section-is-for-council-tfl-dartme/) and post up the relevant documents, otherwise no meaningful advice can be given.

Sorry, but we need more info, so please post-up the documents, with name and address redacted.
Did you set-up autopay before or after you travelled to Birmingham ? Also was the autopay facility set up before or after the last date for paying the toll fee directly ?

I recently (less than 4 weeks ago) drove a couple of days in Birmingham within their clean air zone. I’ve already got autopay set up for London as I do a fair bit of work down there, and I set up an autopay for Birmingham too so save having to pay it all individually.
I had, apparently wrongly, assumed that it’d work like the London zone where I’d just get a direct debit come out a few weeks after travelling.
Yesterday I received a penalty notice through. And I received another one today.
I still have the email confirming that the direct debit was set up but they don’t appear to have taken it.
Do I have grounds to appeal the 2x £120 fines on the basis that I set autopay up and they haven’t taken it?
