Classifications are misleading and profiteering!

The classification of vehicles is misleading. Our VW van which is a Class 2 vehicle is viewed by the M6 toll as a Class 4. Very misleading and feels like a rip off at £19 for a 2 axle Class 2.
We’ve been travelling Europe and covered hundreds of miles on toll roads. Italy have bridges and tunnels to maintain and their fees don’t even come close to the M6 toll per mile. It’s quite embarrassing for the UK and shows how much we are being exploited at home.

Overcharge

I was charged as a van mistakenly and not a car. I noticed the same day and emailed customer service. On the positive side the response was very quick. It did say the refund could take up to 7 days and so its to soon to see if I receive it. On the negative side the response was very formal and to the point, no apology for the inconvenience or any kind of explanation.

Quick to respond, but somewhat dismissive

I pointed out to customer services that updating my payment details had failed to work - although the card expiry was saved, the transaction still failed. I fixed it by doing a manual top-up payment. I contacted CS to explain my experience, and I felt their responses were blunt and factually inaccurate, although they were fast to respond. They said information about how to update payment details was in the email - when I pointed out this was not true, they said I'd been sent two emails in quick succession - the 2nd containing the info. They seemed to miss the point that sending multiple emails is more likely to land in junk, is wasting the customer's time, and failed to acknowledge that the process of updating payment details online is flawed (if it isn't flawed, why do they require instructions in an email rather than on the website page at the relevant location)? The emails were overly aggressive in tone too. My account has been in credit for 15+ years, as soon as I go into debit for 24 hours I get aggressively worded emails about account suspension.

To top it off, using the M6Toll is way too expensive.

Hi Neil, Thanks for your review and your feedbck. i will pass this over to our operations team. We send out an email to let a customer know their account is in low blance nd we will attempt to take paymenbt. The attempt then happens and we send out another straightaway confirming whether it was successful or not. I take onboard your comments regarding that this may be too many emails and the likelihood it will end up in junk and we will look at ways in which we can improve this part of the customer experience. We will also look at how we can make the tone of these emails friendlier. should you need anything else, please do not hesitate to reach out Thanks, Ka@M6toll

Hi Lynn, Thank you for your review. I am sorry that it took some time to update your auto-payment. Unfortunately from time to time the token or the card we hold on file can expire and it needs to be updated. The team responded within 24 hours of your initial response. A payment card update can be done online should the office be closed by logging into your online account at www.m6toll.co.uk. Should you need anything else, please do contact the team Kay@M6toll

Having gotten lost and went through the toil twice in some 25-30 minutes, which led to paying a double amount in place of a single journey price . I then raised my concerns of which I was promised the other amount which was half would be refunded. I got the refund but not the promised amount.Not so sure what would have happened.

The mere fact that we were charged twice.The time spent informing yourselves and providing details doesn't give your company a good reputation.
We would hate to have missed the overcharging or noticed it weeks later.

Good afternoon Chris Thanks for your review. We charge our cuistomers for the number of zones they travelthrough. When you tap your card at the plaza, we place a hold on your card for the maximum toll fare for your vehicle class. This is seen as a pending transaction in your bank account. Once your journey has been constructed in our system, after you have left the road we will adjust your trip based on your entry and exit points, and the correct amount is charged and the pending transaction will drop off within 10 days. If this is not the cae and the matter is still not resolved, then please do not hesitate to reach out to customer services . Thanks Kay@M6toll

Overcharged

The M6 toll is a great motorway to use, but what isn't great is the exorbitant cost of using it. I was charged £19.50 earlier this month for driving my Vauxhall Astra (without a trailer or roof rack). It was a mistake, although I can't understand how I was charged the same as driving a lorry! I had to wait 48 hours as payment was pending in case it was rectified (it wasn't) and then had to email M6Toll to sort out. To be fair they responded quickly but I had to wait a further 5 working days to get my refund.

Prompt response to error after initial contact issues.

Situation now resolved. I appreciate there appears to have been an issue with the phone that I appear to be the only one to feedback.

Prompt response in the end just a shame it took a review to get through.

I have been assured the contact number should function correctly and have been given an alternative email address for contact in the future.

Good afternoon Ashley, Thank you for your review. I am sorry you have found it difficult to conatct us. Our complaints email address is on the website and we can be conatacted at customercomplaints@m6toll.co.uk We do say to customers that it can take up to 5 days for a response should a weekend or holiday fall into this, however, we generally respond to customers via email within 48 hours. Did you kbow that you can access your account by logging in at https://customers.m6toll.co.uk/login at any time and you are able to dowmload statements from there. Please note we do not provide receipts for pre-payment as there is no VAT on a top-up and VAT is charged on the journeys. Your statement will show the top-ups and the VAT charged on journeys. Should you wish us to look into your query further, please could you share your email address and I will search our system and investigate why you have not received a response. Thanks Kay@m6toll
