Its a f** up system riding on the notion that many people will forget or not know about the charge and they make a tonne of money off of them. i paid the toll a day late as it was good friday and bank holiday in one weekend and i totally forgot i crossed on the monday not the tuesday and paid on the wednesday will i be fined for this? There were no visible signs and no toll booths so how could anyone possibly know that there was a toll to pay? There is no way to alter the amount so if it asked for 3 I could not have just paid 2.50. First and only time we made a return trip we forgot to pay. It says I can appeal this decision to an independent tribunal but I fear the worst and it was lapse into another larger fine. Surely as a statutory body they have a duty to act fairly and it seems grossly unfair to have such a tight deadline and to refuse to accept payment before the fine has been issued. I phoned Dart Charge and was told that actually there was a third penalty to be issued for another day. I am on holiday. I just got a letter this morning for my journey dated 05/09/2015, but only for one way. I had paid the charge like a good little serf and in the allotted time before midnight the next day even though it meant I had to hobble from the plantation before I turned into a bumpkin. Paid Dart charge late and first notice of a fine is 105! But called to ask asI found out going through the tunnel means I have to pay too (thought you only paid while going through the bridge) but the man I spoke to said I now have to wait to receive a pcn as he cant take the payment. Using their automated telephone service, I have been told that the money has been taken for the registered crossings I have made. I contacted the hire company who said I would need to contact Dartford crossing. I have used the crossing several times and remembered to pay later that day but forgot one time and remembered 3 days later. Its not the extra 3 that they asked for, its the principle of the fact that it was their computer system that told me what to pay. However, its not just the misreading of number plates that causes the problem. Go to dart on https://www.gov.uk/pay-dartford-crossing-charge Receipt FJ No 29616281 ref 150522132752022153F7N. Hope you enjoyed your time here. Any truth in the rumour that PCN is Latin for: More Cash for George???????? Crossed the bridge twice. British citizens are shocked, the foreigners visiting are dismayed by our practice. The 14-day grace period is also referenced on the Gov.uk website, so can certainly be taken as official see quote taken from page below.
