The Independent travel correspondent Simon Calder has explained what steps you should take if you are contacted by a firm asking you to pay a toll charge for driving abroad.
Calder appeared on Wednesday's (10 January) episode of The One Show after viewer Andrew said he had been chased by a collection company since 2020 for a fee in Portugal, but says he wasn't in the country at the time.
"If you say yeah, that's a picture of my car, I was driving it... You pay via Vialivre, the toll company in Portugal," Calder explained.
