You get a month end statement mate
Do you pay at month end too? Ive got an account with my vehicles on it, but can't say as ive noticed if ULEZ / Blackwall Charge / Dartford Charge comes out immediately, or in one go as the end.
Gatwick Drop-Off comes out your account before you're even on each roundabout coming out of either terminal ffs

I think the payment comes out at the end of the month mate.

Hi mate, not to worry you, but check you’ve ticked your car for ‘autopay’ as I’ve recently been stung by this (twice) and the TFL website to me is very ambiguous. The TFL system runs different to the Dartford crossing, where adding a car automatically registers it for any crossing and any auto payment you may have set up on the Dartcharge website. If you are looking for TFL to automatically charge, you need to make sure your car has the autopay box ticked, and you have to delve a little deeper into its pages to find it. Hopefully you’re all good, but just thought I would share as it proper miffed me!
