WEnt through M50 in newly bought car?

Zascar · 2012-02-21 13:57:28

Hey guys, I bought a new (old) car on Friday - filled in the registration book etc but obviously it would only be getting to the motor tax office around now. Thing is I went on the M50 and I totally forgot to pay the charge the next day. Is it possible for me to call now and pay the fine based on my reg? Or do I have to…

Is it possible for me to call now and pay the fine based on my reg? Or do I have to wait for the guy I bought the car from to get the letter etc?
Thanks

Phone them and ask... its only 3 euro.

They are hardly going to abuse you or anything.

You can ring them with the reg and pay it.

When I sold my last car to a garage, the garage were using it for a couple of days as a loaner to people (they told me this). I could still see the toll charges against the car in my name in my eflow account, but the garage paid the charges separately online.

Just ring with the reg and pay it.

The last car I sold, I got a letter a week or so later for not paying the toll, when I rang them they said just ignore it as someone(new owner) had called and paid it.

Cheers, just go through and paid it there. Easier than I thought!
