Hi John, apologies for the late reply! I’ve been a bit busy.
Yes, I completed the paperwork on the day and they did the transfer of keeper online while I was there.
The V5C issue date was only a few days ago though (and I still don’t have it yet) so it’s likely they’ll get the PCN and have to forward it to me.

Whilst you are waiting for the experts here to give their advice you need to liase with the seller to ensure that the paperwork to change the V5C to yourself as the new keeper has been completed; for it is extremely likely that even if you completed the paperwork on the day of sale, DVLA's update will be made after TfL's request for keeper details and the seller receive any PCNs for that day.
Did you complete the paperwork? Have you the new V5?

Hi all,
I bought a car on Thursday and took it through both the Silvertown & Blackwall tunnel through charging times on the same day.
As I have autopay on my other car, and was already stressed out that day due to issues with the car I just bought, it completely skipped my mind that I actually need to add this car to the account.
I (incorrectly!) thought it was already there and I'd just be debted as normal at the end of the month.
'Twas only around ~12:05am today that I realised (just over the 3 days grace!) that I needed to both add the account AND pay for the crossings.
I've now done that, but it's too late.
I already know there's a piece of paper coming for me, possibly two.
While I'm pretty much BTR, is there a case where TFL would be lenient enough to cancel this charge with an appeal mentioning my account?
Or will the appeal just buy me more time for the inevitable £90 (or scarily, £180) fee?
(Also on that note - does anyone know if these PCN's will be bundled as one, or two?).
