Congestion Charge app?

barbiedoll

Has anyone got the mythical TfL Congestion Charge app? They mention it on the CC website as a way of paying, but I can’t find it in the App Store?

I had trouble paying the CC last night (for today) the website wouldn’t take either of two cards, on an iPad and our pc. I have managed to pay this afternoon but I thought I’d download the app for the future. But I can’t find it anywhere! Does it actually exist yet?

I used the registration.

It costs about £10 a year but you get slightly discounted CC.

I find I do not always get charged the CC as I have been behind / infront of a lorry sometimes, which is a bonus

They charge you monthly in arrears and supply you with an invoice.

If you register your vehicle, remember to deregister it when you sell it, if you don't the new owners cc will be charged to your account as you can only register the vehicle under one account.

You never have to worry whether or not you drifted into the cc zone

I have to claim my CC payments back through work and until recently, they wouldn’t process claims on an autopay account.

Apparently, they now do so, I really need to sign up for the registration, as you say, it’s easy to drift into the zone and not realise.

I once got a CC penalty for going less than 5 yards in a CC street, I was only there for a minute before turning round and leaving, I was looking for an address. Worse, it was a car leased through work, so I had an extra £30 admin charge on top! :eek:
