Morning all - just wondering if there's anything I need to do.

On the 12th of May (so just over 3 weeks ago) I had to drive into London, the destination is well inside the Congestion Charging zone. There is absolutely no doubt that I went into the zone, and my front and rear number plates are in place, clean, and clearly visible.

I pre-registered for Auto-Pay, and the TFL site shows the car as registered. However, it still doesn't show that journey, and I was under the impression that it should have registered and automatically paid much sooner.

To make things worse, on the way back out of London I was a complete numpty and managed to turn onto Oxford Street (this was between 4pm and 5pm). I am well aware that this was utter stupidity on my part. I've not had the PCN I expected for that either. I have the V5C in front of me and the car is correctly registered to my home address - it was previously registered to another house, we moved in January, it's not turned up there either. Again, I was under the impression that this should have come through within 2 weeks?

So, essentially I'm wondering if either is likely to turn up at this point - have I got the timescales wrong? Thanks in advance.

You’ve registered, you have the V5 as the correct address, you are on Auto-Pay. Save your wondering and worries for other things.

That’s what I was thinking. I’d say do nothing.

Thanks - also for not calling me stupid for any of it.

Once I'd written it down it did seem obvious that there was nothing that needed doing. I inherited the sense-of-impending-doom gene from my dear old mum...
