Question

How is payment of London's congestion charge enforced?

Answer 1

By bills, and then summonses an bailiffs

Answer 2

Number plate recognition cameras.  If you're car is photographed inside the zone and you haven't paid - checked against computer records btw - then you get a fine through the post.  If this is not paid then they start court proceedings against you so you end up with a bad debt on your credit file.

Answer 3

What is it?  Do they give a ticket for contributing to the congestion?

Answer 4

Once you have been caught using the Congestion Zone without paying, they will immediately send the registered keeper (whoever name is on the log book) a £60 fine, if you do not pay or make a representation (if you were not the driver) within 14 DAYS then they increase it to £120 If that is not paid within 28 DAYS they will increase it to £180. Failure to pay that will result in it being taken to magistrates court where you will end up paying about £350 (including costs). You will be found guilty!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

They Tax us Northerners to the hilt

Answer 6

If you do not prepay, a photo of your number plate is taken, matched on a data base then a fixed penalty is sent to your address
