Congestion Charge Issue

I'm not entirely sure of how the system works but I imagine if you get a FPN for it, there'll be an appeals section. I reckon you've got a pretty solid case to appeal. No sense worrying about it unless it hits your doorstep.

I'll definitely be appealing as I'm not impressed. I explained my circumstances to the call handler and she reckons I did go into the zone and should expect a letter. But I'm quite concerned seeing the amount of people in similar situations who've had their appeals rejected. I only read about a single successful appeal.

I used to have a flat just outside the CC area, once was diverted into the CC zone due to a road closure.

Received a FPN, which I appealed and the charge was cancelled though not without a big huge fight.

You can present a case within 14 days of receiving it and you can pay a reduced rate of £60 if it is paid within 7 working days.

I don't understand why they need to be greedy and force people to fight, especially if they KNOW they're in the wrong? Glad you managed to get it cancelled though.

Just to clarify, so if I put an appeal in and they take longer than 14 days to reply, can I still pay the reduced rate from 7 days of their reply as opposed to 7 days from today? Thanks.

That's London for you.

If you put an appeal in within 7 days then you will pay the reduced rate on the outcome of the appeal though at the outcome of the appeal. It will however be subtracted meaning if you put an appeal 4 days after receiving that FPN then upon the outcome of the appeal you will have 3 days where you can pay the reduced rate.

Im pretty sure the 14 days to pay the reduced price is frozen when you appeal.

I don't understand why they need to be greedy and force people to fight, especially if they KNOW they're in the wrong? Glad you managed to get it cancelled though.
