Can I Backdate a Congestion Charge?

The Congestion Charge is a daily charge for driving a vehicle within the Congestion Zone in central London. The charge operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year, except Christmas Day (25 December).

Amending a Congestion Charge is possible, but only for current or future start dates. Past charges cannot be modified.

To amend a Congestion Charge, you will need to contact Transport for London (TfL) and provide them with the following information:

• Your vehicle registration number
• Receipt details
• The original charge start date

TfL will then amend the charge start date to the date you request.

Important:

• You can only amend a Congestion Charge if you have already paid the charge.
• You can only amend a Congestion Charge up to 24 hours after the original charge start date.
• You cannot amend a Congestion Charge if you have already received a penalty charge notice (PCN).

How to Contact TfL

You can contact TfL by:

• Phone: 0343 222 2222
• Email: [email protected]
• Post: Congestion Charging, PO Box 3281, London SE1 1GB
