The Congestion charge is a real problem for my company as we have multiple drivers driving multiple vehicles
This looks like a good solution

fivepound.com was a good solution. Problem was it affected TFL's ability to generate revenue from fines, so it was shut down forcefully by them. 
I'd be wary of paying £200 for the lifetime subscription. Lifetime could = 1 year!

Swiss, if I read the eightpounds page right, it's £8 for a reminder everyday. You have to text back yes for them to pay it.
Couldn't you just set your calander on your phone to repeat a daily reminder and just text your 4 digit number straight to CCLondon instead?
At least fivepounds.com had access to the camera's and just automatically paid it for you at a discounted rate.
BTW, whoever gets in wont scrap the Congestion Charge. No matter what they say to get elected...

Yes I could use the fast payment facility of testing my number to CCLondon combined with the alarm, but I have sometimes forgotten to pay that way.
It is a toss up between being slightly lazy/forgetful and not wanting to give the ****ers from TFL any more of my cash

if ken had his way he would.... no I was braving London. I forgot how much I love paying £ridiculous an hour to park on a meter and how freely the traffic flows (not) now the c*ntgestion charge is in effect further west 
One couldnt possibly comment on how it appears the timings of the lights have been changed to create congestion in certain places....
Actually...speaking of that...the proposal to introduce it in NY was met with HUGE opposition to it. Got thrown out I believe.... Thank god!

Can you not sign up to the Fleet Scheme? We are & it saves a shed load of hassle & a £1 per day per vehicle
Now we've got some LPG Transits, life will be even cheaper

We did try to set the fleet account up using our own cars also but fell short as they refused mrs spec'C's saying that dad just purchased another car so maybe... 
wonder if a 1928 invicta would look alright on the database as a company car..

We all do stupid things, but I'm pretty sure your not paying £16 a day.
I asked about the fleet scheme before. 25 vehicles is quite a lot in my eyes. You'd have to assume that people who own company's that big are friends with the right people, hence the mates rates.....

Hmm
I thought it was 10 vehicles? It was something like that when we were growing & I sympathise with you guys who can't quite hit the level as the scheme is a complete freaking nightmare to administer if you don't qualify for Fleet and direct debit.
Have to say that I don't know Ken but I do know Boris
