    Yes it is an invoice, its not a penalty or a fine. The only person who can fine you is the judge at the real court.

    There is very rare for them to take you to court as you have owe them nothing when the road is belong to public.

    I think you need to google this:


    I'm very surprised that none of you know this and I'm also very surprised that coupon-mad did not know anything about this.

    The link you refer to is about fake Dart Charge payment websites. It is nothing to do with the real penalty the OP has received.

    Everybody has the right to post stupid things but now you are starting to abuse it.

    Update for everyone.

    Firstly thanks for the replies and suggestions. I did go on twitter and write to Dart Charge and the day after they replied and told me they reconciled the PCN and only charged me £2. Which was great news!!

    I did ring them to double check this as I wasn't sure if they reconciled both PCN's. Turns out they didn't they only reconciled the latter as the PCN wasn't issued yet. Apparently in regards to the PCN which was issued and sent to my house no one can reconcile that and the only thing I can do is appeal it.

    So all in all it wasn't too much of bad turn out from Twitter :)

    I guess I will appeal the PCN and see how that turns out.

    Okay another update...

    As I went to appeal the PCN that was outstanding I saw £2 had been deducted from the PCN owed. So they took out the amount owed for the crossing.

    I called them and they said Highways agency accepted the prior request and now no PCN's are outstanding. So I didn't even have to appeal!

    In a nut shell Twitter really did help with all of it.

    Thank you "Waamo" for the suggestion.

    Well done samin9, well done waamo. Excellent outcomes.
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.
