If you do not pay a congestion charge what will happen?

The consequences of not paying a congestion charge can vary depending on the specific rules and regulations implemented by the relevant authorities. Here are some common outcomes:

Fees and Penalties:

1. Civil Enforcement:

- If you fail to pay the congestion charge by the specified due date, you may receive a penalty fee on top of the original charge.

2. Parking fine:

- If you enter the congestion zone without paying the charge and leave your vehicle for longer than the allowed time, it may be considered a parking offence and subject you to a separate parking fine.

3. Legal Action:

- Persistent non-payment may lead to legal action, court proceedings, and a judgment against you by the authority responsible for enforcing traffic regulations.

- Non-payment could result in legal ramifications involving debt collection procedures or court orders to recover the unpaid fees.
