Thanks for the reply, after i sent the cheque over and watched it being cashed, I've had nothing else until the letter dated 4/10 as per image that stated i had only paid £12.50 off the bill ( a full month after they cashed my cheque which also stated on the back as full and final settlement ) and then the order for recovery (dated 13/11/23) which i only received on sat 25th Nov.   So was going to file a statutory declaration today at my local county court but they turned me away has i have to make an appointment over the phone.   All i really wanted was to appeal to an actual judges common sense.  (If your never notified within 48 hrs how can you ever pay just £12.50 not £90!!

Hi Everybody, great site.
After straying into an ULEZ unknown to me at the time, only to be written to 3 weeks plus later, i was then told i would have to pay £90 as over the 14 day period.
I replied to this, objecting on the grounds, that i was not aware i had encroached into a zone, not seen any signage as such, nor signage on approaching roads, nor any signage how to pay immediately etc. This was immediately refused by TFL.
I then replied if necessary i would like to contest this in court, however to save the courts time i was willing to pay the original £12.50 fee as that would have been the amount claimed if i had been informed of this charge within 48 hrs. I sent a large letter confirming this, saying that my reduced payment was an offer of full and final settlement and my cheque enclosed was also written on the back to this effect.
72 hrs later this cheque was cashed. I assumed this was therefore all settled in full.
Now a few months later im being chased for another £266 as they state i only made a part payment, but still they do not acknowledge, nor refuse my full and final settlement offer.
I always believed if this offer was cashed and no correspondence to myself was received within a month stating an error on their accounts dept of encasing this cheque then it would still be legally binding as paid in full, however i see on the tcl pin site that it shows a notice has been issued to recover all costs. Please can anyone advise me   regards gsm
