Sadiq Khan refuses to rule out sending in bailiffs to chase unpaid ULEZ fines after revealing TfL is owed almost £400m

Daily Mail  

Drivers who fail to pay their Ultra Low Emission Zone fines could soon find bailiffs knocking at their door, after Sadiq Khan revealed he was weighing up all options to chase almost £400million owed to Transport for London. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has revealed an eye-watering £376m has been racked up by drivers failing to pay their ULEZ fines Prior to the ULEZ expansion, TfL's purported bad debt was significantly less at around £160m He asked the Mayor: 'Are we going to see bailiffs knocking on people's doors?' Mr Khan added that 96 per cent of vehicles in London were now ULEZ compliant, while only a fraction - 0.27 per cent - of drivers received a fine. Last August, ULEZ was expanded across the whole of Greater London Last October, it was reported that Sadiq Khan had given firms £151.8million in lucrative contracts to track down drivers who fail to pay Ulez penalties and other road fines.
