TfL Warns ULEZ Fine Dodgers Risk Having Payments Taken Directly From Work Wages
TfL targets a small group responsible for 94% of unpaid fines totaling £789 million, using bankruptcy threats and vehicle seizures to enforce compliance.
- Transport for London warned drivers who refuse to pay Ultra Low Emission Zone fines could face bankruptcy proceedings as it ramps up enforcement efforts.
- Since the August 2023 expansion, the Ultra Low Emission Zone now covers all London boroughs, with persistent evaders holding 94% of outstanding debt, typically having at least four PCNs.
- Between January and June this year, enforcement recovered about £16.5 million, seized more than 530 vehicles, and auctioned over 350 vehicles raising £285,000 b.
- Enforcement could include TfL using county courts, placing property liens, and recovering money from employers, while PCNs escalate to £280, halved if paid within 14 days this year.
- With 97% of vehicles now Ulez compliant, TfL reports unpaid PCNs total £789.1 million and is collaborating with national agencies to enhance debt collection.
