A man has been issued nearly £25,000 in ULEZ fines for a van he no longer owns. Bilal's van was repossessed in February 2024 but his details were seemingly still linked to the vehicle. Despite repeated attempts to inform Transport for London (TfL) of the situation, Bilal was unable to stop the fines from accumulating. TfL has since acknowledged the error and cancelled the fines.
A man has revealed he was issued nearly £25,000 in ULEZ fines for a vehicle he hadn't owned for nearly a year. The van was repossessed in February 2024 after he was forced to give up work. However, his details were seemingly still linked to the van. Bilal says he contacted TfL numerous times to inform them of their mistake, but had no success in getting the fines withdrawn or stopped.
He even reached out to the solicitors who dealt with the repossession of his van, but they too failed to respond. Bilal said: “I've spoken to TfL and I've sent them all of the proof that I no longer own the van, including the documents from the solicitors who dealt with the repossession.“Somebody’s made a blunder on their side, either the solicitors or the auctioneers they gave the vehicle to.”, who informed him he would have to wait six weeks for an answer – all the while the letters kept piling up. For Bilal, who is out of work and suffering from a long-term condition, the situation put an immense strain on his life and his family. He said: “It's putting a strain on my family, it's putting a strain on me. No one knows what’s going on here. I’ve not been able to work, and I’m trying to get a solicitor to help me but I can’t afford the legal fees.” After speaking to Bilal, Sun Motors later reached out to TfL to ask for an explanation and a comment on his predicament. “When we received his representation, we requested additional evidence from him to validate the vehicle transfer. “As we did not receive this, the representation was rejected and the matter progressed to enforcement agents. “We are satisfied Mr Yousaf is no longer the registered keeper of this vehicle and have contacted him to cancel the fines.' TfL also reminded drivers that they have a few options when they receive a penalty charge notice; pay half the amount within 14 days, pay the full amount within 28 days, or challenge the notice.In Bilal's case, TfL says that they needed more information, such as a valid postcode, to confirm the transfer of vehicles
