Paying ulez automatically- have I registered correctly

textbook

Don't wanna get stung with two ulez fines again. £180.  Have I set up payment correctly so the cameras detect my number plate and charge me the normal £12 or whatever fee?

EnPointe

the redactions make it hard  to  see  exactly what you are saying 

however

 1. you have a suitable account with TfL?
2. you have associated  the vehicles with the account and the account has the vehicle details correct ? 
3. you have a valid  method of payment with adequate funds  attached to the account ?

1 silver Peugeot Expert L1H1 set up as "active".

That says to me that your van is indeed active for autopay.

Obvs, you need to have a valid payment method also set up.

It should ping my account the first day I drive through and bill my phone?  I guess that will tell me

I get an email if I've incurred any charges that month, and payment is taken ~7 days later.

No other (app, text etc) notifications.

The whole system's a bit flakey IMO. On the plus side though, my car almost never gets tagged...

I got fined twice last year. I don't want that to happen.   If they don't email me how do pay directly to make sure I don't get fined again?

Have you set up a valid payment method?  

If you have, payment should be taken automatically.

Think so but if j don't get an email on the first I'll just go in and pay anyway.  What's the link to do that?

For Auto-pay to work you need an account, with your vehicle/s registered and a payment method set up.

You can verify this in your online account or in the app.
If that's all done you're good to go.

If you incur any charges within your statement period (dates can be seen from within your account) you get a monthly statement of charges, and payment is taken a week or so later.

Sometimes it's a bit slow, and charges don't appear until the following month statement. And sometimes they don't appear at all...

You don't get a notification every time you incur a charge.

If you wish to preempt your monthly statement, you can pay any charges from within your account, or simply pay online without the need for an account, but if you're doing that there's really no point in setting up Auto-pay...

So drove through the zon̈e yesterday, I guess I'm set up and just need to wait for them to take payment.

So u don't always pay?

Just hope I'm set ok and don't pay £180.  I guess wait a few weeks for email and payment from my account
