Forgot to pay ULEZ 5 days ago.. help

[anonymousflowergirl]

Is there anything I can do?! I completely forgot to pay ulez charge to drive into Croydon London.. honestly so annoyed at myself 😭 I’ve tried going on the website but I can’t go back to the 19th.. am I damned now and just wait for my fine?

I don’t know if there’s anything you can do. However I suggest you set up Auto Pay on the TFL website which will stop the risk of a fine in future.

Admittedly not with ULEZ but Dart Charge where I forgot but as was the first time I got a letter and they offered I was able to just pay the actual charge itself and provided paid within X amount of time no extra fee. Fingers crossed might be similar for you 🤞 But yes as others say set up Auto pay for any times in future.

We forgot for a weekend stay, tried to pay a day late and then got a fine for £100 for both days. So that was an expensive weekend.

Not ULEZ but the Dart charge. I called them and I couldn't pay anything until the letter arrived in the post. It gave me 48 hours to pay the £2.50 original charge which I did immediately. This was even though I'd done the same thing 4 years ago and was told they keep on file car registration numbers so the next time I forgot to pay I'd be charged the excess charge. Next time I travel I'll pay in advance which I was unaware I could do.
