We get numerous questions via our http://www.nocongstionchargefines.co.uk website from worried motorists trying to find out when they have to pay the London Congestion Charge or if they are liable to fines.
Unfortunately thousands of people each year get fined when they do not realise they are in the London Congestion Zone, when they are not sure what time the fines operate or from those who simply forget to pay.
Fortunately our iPhone and portable GPS tracking applications help people reduce the risk of fines by showing when you are in the zone, allowing you to pay there and then via your iPhone or providing a text message reminder later in the evening if you have forgotten to pay. However, for those that didn’t have our application there is still help available if you know where to look for it.
Check out our website at http://www.nocongestionchargefines.co.uk/london_congestion_charge.html for more information on the London Congestion Charging Zone. There is also a wealth of information available on Transport for London’s website at http://www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/congestioncharging/ although finding the right information can be difficult.
One of the questions we get asked a lot, is from people that have already received a fine and want to know whether it is worth appealing. Finding out this information from Transport for London has been notoriously difficult. However, a recent freedom of information request meant that TFL had to publish the attached document.

This sets out the decision making process for TFL and when they will accept or reject a decision.
