Driving through Hungary EPC PLC

Hi guys,

I know this has been covered but haven’t seen anything recent or updates from people who sought advice.

we were driving through Hungary back in August and have now received a charge of £107.37 if we pay within 60 days of receiving the letter 14/10/25 if not charges goes up.

It’s our fault we did not purchase a Vignette at the time as we realised once we were in Slovakia we required one. We did go online but we were not allowed to purchase one for the same day travel. 

We don’t mind paying the fine but £45.55 admin charges are excessive!!!!!

can anyone offer any advice? What will happen if we ignore this out of principle?

thank you guys any help will be appreciated

    Have you wondered why?
