Civil penalty charge notices (Councils, TFL and so on) / Re: TfL ULEZ Fine - Draft Appeal - Received fine despite Auto-Pay subscription...

Thank you, Incandescent.

I didn't realise TfL were so strict in enforcing PCNs and rarely accept appeals. Will decide how far I want to push this. I think I may end up paying the £90 and then launch a formal complaint and take it from there. Would really rather not incur any additional monetary costs but the principle of this PCN feels very unfair.

Hi all,

First time poster here so thanks in advance for the help.

I recently received a PCN despite being signed up to ULEZ's Auto-Pay scheme. I've drafted my appeal below. If this is submitted, what is the likelihood of success? If chances are low, I would almost rather pay the £90 discounted fine vs. trying to appeal, getting rejected and being slapped with a £180 fine.

Grateful for all your expertise on this matter.

APPEAL:
  • I purchased the vehicle in question on 16/03/2025 and drove home through the ULEZ between 10-11pm on this day
  • I then promptly went online on 17/03/2025 to setup payment for this journey
  • I opted for ULEZ’s “Auto-Pay” scheme
  • I opted for Auto-Pay as the scheme clearly states that the system “charges [the account holder] automatically each month”
  • Furthermore, the website also states that account holders receive "protection from receiving Penalty Charge Notices while registered"
  • As I responsibly set up payment within the three days of my journey, it naturally seemed that charges related to this journey would be included in March's bill
  • Critically, there is no notice whatsoever that historic journeys, within any time frame, would not be captured by Auto-Pay
  • I have proof of this and believe ULEZ’s failure to clearly sign-post important T&Cs is negligent
  • In my view, I clearly adhered to ULEZ’s requirements by setting up payment within three days of the journey
