It's always been a two stage process for Autopay as far as I know.
You can ask for discretion.

I added my wife's car onto my TFL account the day before she traveled through the tunnel but didn't realise I also had to add it to Auto Pay.
She's now received the £90 PCN.
Before we attempt a politely challenge via the TFL website stating I didn't realise I had to add it to Auto Pay, is there anything else to consider?
I've tried getting a report from TFL online showing the date the car was added to the main account but it doesn't look possible
My Auto Pay account was opened a few years ago when ULEZ expanded and I don't remember having to go through 2 steps when adding my car originally, maybe I'm just forgetful!
thanks
