Dartford Toll

solarman216 · 20-09-2015, 20:44

Anyone had experience of this, I logged on last night but could not make sense of it so gave up tried again tonight, same thing, so after checking that 03 numbers from my mobile on o2 are within my allowance, rang them now I do not want to register, nor pay online with a card so opted for payzone, but nowhere did I find a reference to the crossing, after talking to the guy on the phone seems I can walk into a shop with payzone and say dartford crossing give my reg number and how much I want to pay, simple if only there had been some reference to the ability to do this on the site, all I want now is to be slapped with two £70 penalty charges for not paying by midnight last night, cos they have no hope, Rick

Feckwits the lot of them. I paid £10 to register and go through the pipe/bridge once return. Because the account goes below £10, they take another £10 so the account is always above £10,that's their policy....apparently. So I have £16.26 doing f'all , except earning interest for them !

Dartford Troll more like it.
I just paid for rick and there computer didnt want to know.
I called their customer service centre, explained that we were a little late with the payment because of their computerized payment system and i got the impression that they had no idea of the vehicle going under and over the Thames courtesy of the engineering that was paid for within the first three years of the bridge being built.

my advice is dont pay these clowns, not until they come chasing

Ohhhhhh I was ready to do battle, till Phil came on line, I do not tolerate this kind of scam at all, they can fine me a million if they like, just try and get it, Rick

Only been through that way once and that was by coach so wouldn't know what to do.

I hate these dam automated systems of face less organisations who just don't give a monkeys. I like your idea Rick.

When we went to France with the Jeep in July it was simple I went on my home PC entered the vehicle details and paid the £5.00 fee for the day rate the day before we went.

Did not pay a registration fee as we only do it 2 or 3 times a year just as a one off payment.
