PCN from EPC PLC for vignette from Hungary

5 Posts

I received a Penalty Charge Notice from EPC PLC (81.71 GBP / 36 for the ticket and 45.71 for administrative costs) that i drove through Hungary without a valid vignette even though I bought one just not in the 60 minutes time since the first gas station was full and I tried to buy it from Romania before entering and they said that the system is down. So I had no choice but to drive to the next one. And I only went over that 60 minutes period by 6 minutes. I challenged it and received a message back from EPC that i still have to pay because i went over. When you enter Hungary it doesn't say on the panels that you have to pay within 60 minutes or might but in their language. It's not a reasonable time to buy a vignette since anything can happen on the road (congestion, accidents ...)
Plus PCN doesn't even make sense since this was not from a UK road.
Anyone had to deal with this?
Thank you
