National Highways apologises for the problems people are having and pledges to put things right.
An ongoing investigation by the BBC has unearthed a raft of issues with the Dart Charge regime that ranges from accounts falling dormant, to motorists struggling to pay, to people being fined despite never using the crossing.
Payments are reduced for those with a Dart Charge Account or residents of Thurrock and Dartford, who can apply to join a discount scheme. The western tunnel opened to traffic in November 1963, and was expected to carry about two million vehicles each year.In May 1980 the eastern tunnel opened, allowing each tunnel to handle traffic in one direction.
Users have reported a range of problems including payments not being taken from their Dart Charge accounts which, in turn, have triggered fines, and people receiving penalty charges in error due to mistakes by ANPR cameras.National Highways insists it is working with private providers to resolve the problems experienced by drivers
