    I don't recommend this E-Z Pass corrupt system especially the way they send random "alerts" to your phone higher than the amount you agreed to once you got on E-Z Pass. Who's making out, aside from the jerk who created this BS.

    At the end of June and early July I went thru 3 tolls totaling $16.50. I received a bill from E-Z Pass NY at the end of July for $16.50 with a due date of August 23, 2016. I paid the amount of $16.50 through my People's Online Banking account on August 1, 2016. The payment was received and cleared on August 9, 2016. Since then, I've received bills for late fees totaling $150.00 plus the $16.50. I called numerous times, I sent proof of payment (bank statement and cancelled check) to both the Tolls by Mail Pay Processing in Albany, NY AND Violations Processing Center in Albany, NY.

    December 5, 2016 - I received a letter from a collections agency Transworld systems - spoke with Sean ** ext # ** he said to fax a copy of the cancelled check from the bank. On December 6, 2016 I faxed him the cancelled check. Today February 13, 2017 I received a notice in the mail stating I owe $166.50. So I wrote the above complaint to the BBB NY - I got a message back stating it was out of their scope??? So how does someone correct an obvious error on the part of EZ-Pass billing system?

    I have been an account holder for many years. I had an issue where my transponder stopped working and I was never able to speak to anyone. Instead I got $300 worth of violations in the mail. Phone numbers never worked, constantly got transferred and every incompetent person got on the phone and transferred me to someone else. Issues never got resolved.

    License plate reader problems lead to supposed toll violations: My transponder was 9 years old and started to fail. (They say they last around 10 yrs.) My account is linked to a card and I have e-billing and I check my account very infrequently. A lot of video tolls started showing up intermittently in December 2016 unbeknownst to me. Since E-ZPass uses computers to read license plates, it sometimes misread my plate.

    My Virginia vanity plate is "**" with the letter OH. (Not really my plate but made up a word with an OH for this story.) The problem is the E-ZPass computer sometimes read it as a ZERO instead of an OH, as it is listed on my E-ZPass account. So when the computer looked up with a zero, it didn't find it linked to an account. So they then asked Virginia DMV who owned the plate. Since Virginia does not distinguish between a zero and an OH on their plates--they used the same character--they gave E-ZPass my address. And so began my three weeks of phone customer service hell.

    Even after sending them my motor registration, as requested, to show that their computer was at fault, they still wanted to charge me the video toll rate. After a third call, they said they reviewed my letter explaining the problem, my vehicle registration, and the plates listed on my account and denied a correction. I asked for a simple explanation of why it was denied. Like a robot, she only repeated it was denied. I asked to speak to a supervisor. She said the supervisor only does callbacks and to expect a call in 24-48 hours. How stupid is this? I was ready to file a complaint with the consumer office of the State Atty General and the consumer advocate with the local Baltimore TV station.

    On my travels, I was passing an E-ZPass administration building in Perryville, Maryland and stopped in to speak face-to-face with a rep. I hoped I could get an explanation. Within 10 minutes, she confirmed my transponder was on the fritz, reviewed my complaint, understood the problem, and her supervisor gave the approval to correct all the violations (have me pay the E-ZPass rate, not the higher cash or video toll rate). I left with a new transponder (cost $7.50) and relieved that this totally unnecessary nonsense was over.

    I have an E-Z Pass account. My kids and husband sometimes use my E-Z Pass and for some reason their trips did NOT register at the tolls. My poor husband has accrued over $500.00 in fines due to ADMINISTRATIVE FEES!!! We can't make ends meet to begin with. I sent checks for the tolls, which were promptly cashed, and requested that they drop at least some of the administrative fees only to be turned down. These tolls were supposed to end years ago once the roadway construction was paid, but CROOKED NJ, won't let that happen. Absolutely criminal of NEW JERSEY. I can't wait to move from this place!

    Months ago I was starting a new job. I had no money. For a week I didn't pay tolls but I took the receipt from the toll clerk. She told me to mail the payments into the turnpike. I did. Then I got a notice in the mail from E-Z Pass stating I didn't pay their tolls. I went back-and-forth with them and they finally said "just send us proof that you paid the turnpike instead by accident and we will drop the fees." And all I would be responsible for is the tolls which was a sum of $54.

    I had the money order receipt with the date stating I had paid in time on time the correct amount. I just got a letter in the mail stating that they are rejecting my actual solidified proof and while I was waiting for their response they decided to send the tolls into collections $600. My god. Can anybody fight these people and win? Is there any way to win against E-Z Pass? Please somebody help, help, help!!! This has to stop. How can this go on and the attorney general of New Jersey not get involved? E-Z Pass is a criminal organization getting away with murder and stealing peoples money...

    I did not receive bills for 2 consecutive months, not by regular mail nor by email. Was then charged 13 X 25.00 dollars for violations. When I called in NY E-ZPass, was told that they "may" take off only 20.00 out of the 25.00 dollars per violation. Nobody tried contacting me by phone or by mail, so why pay any violation at all? Also how come there are no way to appeal this decision, just because 'they' made a mistake. This is really unfair!

    I'm from Kansas, had done some work in Massachusetts, and decided to travel back through NY/NJ. With no visible attended toll booths I went through the ones I thought would be sending billing. Having received my bill, I see that I owed $2.15 for a toll. Sounds reasonable. BUT WTH IS THE $50.00 ADMIN FEE??? Is this even legal? With three options to dispute (complete form, do it online, or call the phone number), I chose the phone number. And... it gives me no opportunity to speak to anyone nor leave a recorded message, and refers me to the other two options. Does that not make a phone call NOT an option then??

    Having then paid it online (it being due today) thinking I could then dispute it online or at least leave a comment, I was not given any option to take any action or leave any comment. Is the EZ Pass site intentionally set up to deflect and confuse??? I will do my best to avoid anything having to do with New Jersey and its ripoff toll system should I ever head east again.

    Even after multiple suits in court (which they apparently lost), they haven't really stopped. I owe $1,100.00 for something like $12.50 in missed tolls. You try to pull the money together to settle it before it even goes to collection, but the administrative fees keep stacking up and when you are in a very tough spot financially already, it's nearly impossible to pay them on time. This all started when they switched my account replenishment status from "automatic" to "manual" after an issue with a replenishment transaction, but I never got a notification of the status change. By the time I realized it when checking my balance on my account just to make sure things were okay, I was already in the red and getting toll violation mail from them. I tried contacting them and making a toll dispute explaining the situation and requesting other options for payment but, from what I could tell, they just ignored me.

    Now I have to take time from work to go to court and handle this with their "litigation specialists" (which they only allot you 30 minutes before your hearing to hammer out a deal). I work 60 hour weeks and I don't have time for their nonsense. I could have paid them if it were something like $25 to $50, but no, they have to bleed me dry even when I've got hardly anything to give them. I'm never using their service again, and they greatly overstate whatever value they do provide. I feel terribly for venting on the phone to their customer service rep, as it isn't her fault, but someone on their end needed to hear it. So, if she's reading this, I apologize to her, and ONLY to her. Transurban as a whole can just do the world a favor and completely restructure at the executive level, take ethics seriously, or just go away entirely.

    Misc notes: It's not like I was intentionally being delinquent or irresponsible really. I had a near life-ending and permanently life-altering head injury several years ago and, unfortunately, that has yielded me the short term memory span roughly akin to that of a gold fish, among other issues. I hate pulling the TBI card, but it's a significant factor in my ability to function, and I'm doing my best over here. EZ Pass and Transurban just add to the stresses and frustrations of life where they shouldn't be. Whatever value-add they perceive their companies to provide is not at all worth the rise in blood pressure and they have to be, bar none, the worst infrastructure/toll outfits on the planet. I would rate 0 stars, but I have to admit the use of the lanes has been a convenience from time to time. Worth it? Absolutely not, but it is a slight convenience. Are their dealings through the company with local and state governments ethical? Not really.

    Been using the system for approx. 3+ years and have gone from $25 a month to $50 recently. They are here to squeeze every possible penny from the consumer. I cannot plan to go to NYC or anywhere that uses a toll because they will be quick to raise the replenishment limit. I work every day and spend $1.50 in toll in total. How is it that I go to NYC one time and all of a sudden they start charging me $10 more for a Lincoln Tunnel difference of 12.50? I went to NYC 4 months later and in one trip spent $30 in tolls. That somehow averaged to a $25 difference in 3 months? How the heck does that make any sense? How does $30 difference in 3 months average to a $25 dollar increase? And right before Christmas? Yeah, sounds like somebody is trying to get an early Christmas gift.

    This is ridiculous! The website sucks and is of low quality, customer service representatives are extremely rude and unprofessional. Always answer the phone and respond with an attitude and even though they say that "the system" will re-evaluate and adjust 3 months later, that is total bull. "The system" is quick to increase your rate but they will never decrease it. Never seen an decrease in the 3+ years that I have been with them. The total hierarchy of this system and this staff should be looked into. I would not be surprised if there is some sort of underground illegal things happening here.

    I decided to look through my mail and found a letter from a law firm for EZ Pass violations. YES! I do know that I haven't paid. YES! I do know that I have under $300 worth of unpaid EZ Pass tolls. So I thought! Just got off the phone with the law firm. Apparently, my account has a $1200 something balance. I asked him how is that even possible?!? I told him that I knew for a fact I probably had a MAX of $300 worth of tolls. He explained to me that my actual toll balance was $210 and that it got so high due to fees. Are you freakin' kidding me?!? No, NY State has a law where it's a $25 fee per unpaid toll.

    This whole EZ PASS BS has people right on their tippy toes! If you fail to pay after the law firm sends you their final notice, the DMV will suspend your registration. I asked him if there was anything he could do. And after checking, he said he can do a settlement of 50% off which came out to $700 and something. Well that's better than $1200. Payment plan? Yes! But it can't be towards the settlement! The settlement has to be paid upfront. Now how can a college student afford that upfront?!? So, now I'm STILL stuck with paying the $1200 in payments!!

    Against my better judgement, I signed up for an EZPass. When I received my credit card statement, I had been charged three times for a transponder. After more than an hour on the phone with a CSR who seemed clueless and told me she didn't know if refunds were given and that I must have ordered three transponders - she couldn't explain, though, why EZ Pass sent me only one transponder. After being on hold for the third time, she returned and said a refund would be made.

    This morning, I received a reply to an earlier email I had sent and the reply mentioned my conversation with the CSR and suggested I call again. Just got off the phone and the CSR said there was nothing on the record about a refund and that I should call back later. Oh, ya. In addition, there's a glitch in their website, since I discovered I was charged for two trips over the Tobin Bridge on a day when I did not leave the house.

    Received a letter and new pass, asking me to send old one back BUT the letter listed a number for a pass I do not have. I had one in my car for many years and one in a motorcycle for many years - total 2 for 2 vehicles that I own. When I called and tried to explain they insisted that I have 4 vehicles and 4 EZpasses. I tried to explain that I have only EVER had 2 passes. The response was "You can't expect us to just believe customers when they tell us they don't have these passes". Really? I tried to explain that I have only used 2 passes, because I only had 2 vehicles, and read them the numbers for what I had in my possession.

    All I got was continuous RUDE arguments, even to the point that I was told "you're wrong. You have 4 passes and you have to send that one back". No matter how many ways I attempted to explain that I didn't have the pass they listed in the letter, and have had the same 2 passes for years, they continued to insist I had 4 and must return the one listed in the letter. I tried to explain that any other passes assigned to me were not mine and if they were in use it wasn't by me. The response was "if they are in use it's you!" These people are unbelievably rude and should in no way be serving the public. Instead of trying to be helpful they simply argue, and tell customers they are wrong. Someone should investigate how they operate and definitely send them out for lessons on customer service. If the people I spoke to worked anywhere else they would be fired.

    On 25 December, visiting my mother on the other side of Boston, I used the Ted Williams Tunnel. My EZ account was charged 3.50. Nearly 2 years later, I went to renew my registration and found out it was non renewable for an EZ Pass Violation. Dozens of calls, hour wait, disconnected with their phone system. Online Chat, automatically disconnected. Finally I reach a human, he explains that yes, my account was charged 3.50 on that day via my transponder but... because the plate wasn't connected to that vehicle (newer car), I was in violation. Never received any correspondence. Now, two years later, the 3 dollars became 90. 30 times the original toll. 30. That is a 3000% return on 3 dollars, now, since I paid the 3 to begin with as they stated, they move right past 3000% directly to extortion. If I do not pay, I cannot drive or own a vehicle in MA.

    I saw an expose on a local TV station earlier this year. A single mother had 25 dollars turn into 2000 dollars. The Governor vowed to fix this broken system. What has Charlie Baker done? Nada. Zilch Zip. He has allowed these extortionists to continue to operate. The Mafia was placed out of business for less years ago. Perhaps there is a Hillary Clinton Clause in the law where money is funneled directly to the Clinton Foundation making it perfectly legal for them to charge any amount they desire. MA EZ Pass sucks, plain and simple. The people running this are as crooked as the Clintons themselves and use strong-arm tactics to take money from taxpayers. As we all know, Massachusetts has zero shame when it comes to taking money, tolls, taxes from citizens, otherwise, I could simply say shame on you MA DOT.

    First of all they have the worst associates sitting in that office. Better off with an automated system that would be glad to help you more than these ladies sitting there. Never look at you when you are talking to them, pretending they are the busiest and we have nothing better to do. I told them I was interested in opening an account and they showed least bit of concern for a new customer. When I went to return the transponder and close account, they showed me charges that were not supposed to be there. I asked them why those charges are on my account and the lady kept saying "you went through a toll booth and it scanned it. Talk to the dispute if want money back". Another associate began asking me questions, which seemed like she wanted to try to help but this lady who was helping me interrupted and said "let her talk to the dispute".

    When I said I had paid at the toll booth with cash not knowing that it scanned my transponder she kept saying "that's not my problem." She already admitted that the dispute is not going to solve my issue. I wasn't a fan of EZ Pass before, I bought it reluctantly and now I am damn sure of why typical method of paying using cash is better than the hi-tech automated methods where most of the time is spent on arguing or following up with these people.

    These ladies in the office seemed least concerned that somebody was having issues with their product and did not want to be in that office working - but definitely get paid.

    I registered for EZ Pass as a NJ resident. This past labor day weekend, 2 out of 7 EZ Pass tolls displayed "unpaid." Yesterday morning, I called a customer service number to check. The phone options were too long and confusing so, I visited website for "faster 24 hr service". After many attempts with passwords, usernames, account numbers, car tag, device number, and encrypted security numbers options, I finally logged-on to the site (really, a Logon call to action?). I must say, the EZ Pass site/system is uncanny; a total vintage version of sites developed in the late 90s. The site doesn't look trustworthy and the fact that it has features/functions of early web commerce scares me. It is scary that my credit card is associated with such a cumbersome outdated system that doesn't even function on mobile devices.

    Anyway, my account showed a '0' balance on a spreadsheet table. The content on it was a bit confusing to decipher and I was unsure where my true balance was at first glance. To be sure I didn't owe anything, I clicked "violations". After typing another set of redundant criteria, never mind that I was logged-in to my account, an error message appeared above the criteria panel "Please enter violation number". I assumed that I owed nothing but I was still restless about it. Later, I chatted with a coworker about my experience. She warn me to double check. She said that she had trouble with EZ Pass charges in the past. She showed me that there are two EZ Pass sites, one for NY and NJ state and that I should check the NY site.

    I logged in to the EZ Pass NY and to my surprise, after typing another set of redundant criteria, I found outstanding bills dating back to 2013 and 2015. The toll charges were 92.25 total but the unidentified between 30 to 50 dollar "fees" brought my full total to 595.25. Called NY EZ Pass customer service immediately, and after being on hold for 20 min, the operator informs me that my account balance was at ZERO. She told me that I owed nothing and that everything was fine. Why is a system not showcasing the same thing I was seeing on my monitor to the customer service operator? I insisted, she told me that if there were any outstanding bills they were sent to a collection agency. I asked for the collections agency number.

    Well, the number she gave me routed me to NJ EZ Pass Customer Service Center. At this point I'm totally confused. Why is my EZ Pass account number not able to pull my payment history regardless what state I travel to and from? After speaking to the NJ customer operator, I was told that the systems between NY and NJ are independent and they DO NOT communicate with each other. The only thing they share are the tag number and the payment cards associated with the devices. He offers an apology for having recurring problems with the toll system during labor day weekend but then he lectured me about paying more attention the my mail for bill and violations. The point of having an EZ Pass was to have toll amounts deducted from my card. Apparently, I am the problem and so is every person with similar complaints on this site. I finally got a collection agency number from this operator.

    Called the collections agency number but the operator said there was nothing associated with my account. She told that I had to call the the NY EZ Pass again because they were likely using a different collection agency. Dialed again the same number I started with. Waited 15 min to speak with someone. The end result, I was given the NJ EZ Pass Customer Service Center. Seriously, this is not right. This experience continues to be awful. It is truly sad that other countries I've traveled to, in Europe and Asia, have flawless toll systems that include devices with small LEDs telling you how much you're charged every time you pass a toll, at high speeds. Shame on EZ Pass for making no effort with the other high standards that countries with less have. Tried calling again today and I'm still at a lost.

    My last week of working on the island, I went over the bridge two times for 5 days. Everyday I was able to drive over and the screen said "paid". I get a notice a month later saying I owed $500.00!!! It was.80 cents for me to go over the bridge every day and because my money wasn't taken out of my account fast enough, the fines jumped to $500.00!!! Then to top it off, when I called EZ pass in Jamestown to complain about the fees, a very rude woman told me to "not get obnoxious" and hung up on me. I am a professional and was not rude once, I can imagine it gets sickening to hear from all the people the place she works for has robbed, but she clearly had no place in customer service. Whoever created these fees should be sent to jail. Do everything you can to avoid the EZ pass, they will find a way to rob you.

    I have been receiving ticket violations. Keep in mind I have my EZ Pass and it says "paid" as I go through. I have received about 160.00 in tickets so far and I am sure there are more to come. I got the pass and out of nowhere began getting tickets. It's not recorded in my account online, but it is working as I pass the tolls. My account has money on it and I use it correctly. This awful company goes out of its way to destroy people's lives and STEAL money from them with their con game. I recommend that everyone throw out their EZ Pass and come up with a new company or system. This is the most corrupt organization I have ever dealt with. They won't listen to me or get rid of the tickets. I am disgusted.

    Where do I begin. It started with a debit card change due to a some fraud that happened at a store we shop at. This caused my EZ Pass to not register while traveling through a $0.75 toll in Maine. We talked to them on the phone and paid it, but the next time we were in Maine, sure enough, they gave us the yellow light going through the toll again. Next week we received a letter with a non-negotiable $25 fine, followed the same week by a letter stating that they have requested the Maine Bureau of Motor Vehicles to suspend our right to operate in the State of Maine. WTF!!! Over their own mistake. My wife got nowhere with them on the phone today, but tomorrow, I am on the phone warpath!

    I don't even have an account and it's hard for me to avoid receiving letters in the mail saying I owe them for missing a toll, and along with every violation comes a $50 administrative fee (upgraded from the $25 it was last year). In my case, the tolls I have been "missing" have been for the same toll booth, called the Route 50 toll plaza (I'm pretty sure this is the booth you encounter when getting on the AC expressway from route 50). I have been informed this booth is now EZ Pass only, meaning if you don't have an EZ Pass account, you cannot travel on this road. Besides how Orwellian the idea of a company/government-company (?) exclusively owning roads is, their way of announcing is quite non-existent. I can't recall many details about the booth itself, and frankly I'm afraid to even go near it again, but I'm pretty sure I remember it having these features:

    - Still has a toll basket (even though your money does not matter if you do not have EZ Pass).
    - Does not have a sign stating it is EZ Pass only.

    - Does not have a way to turn around once turned onto the road.

    I'm going to do some more research to see if these facts are true. Oh and this EZ Pass-only road I am talking about is not the only one. There's more! I read there were about 10 recently installed in NJ and others are being added in other states too. In an interview, PA Turnpike spokesperson was asked about these EZ Pass-only roads. Capone said it’s expected that, when a new E-Z Pass-only interchange opens, people will go through it without one. But, he said, violations are expected to level off “as people figure it out.” AS PEOPLE FIGURE IT OUT? Okay. So I owe about $100 for the second time now, but I think this time I've got it figured out. I just won't ever drive anywhere again to avoid this from happening. Because I am also stubborn and don't want to get an EZ Pass although it would probably end most of my problems with them. They treat their account holders with a lot more respect.

    What I'm hoping to get out of this is for EVERYONE TO GET RID OF YOUR EZ PASS. THROW IT OUT. IT'S NO GOOD. IT'S BROKEN NOW. If you have any information you could share with me, to help me with my situation or to inform me further of this companies ridiculousness please do at **. I do not really know what I am going to do with the recent fines I've received but they have caused me to care about stopping the corruption of them.

And then they said, "You have to put down half for a payment plan" as if I have $3500 just laying around. Whenever that period last year through OCT-NOV '15 to take away the $50 penalty fees.

    I called the toll free EZ Pass number this morning and was subjected to a 5 minute "you've won a free cruise" advertisement in order to speak with a representative. I went through it but it prompted me 3 times to accept the cruise before moving on. I ignored it and on the 3rd option it allowed me to reject the cruise by pressing 2. Then the advertisement started ALL over again and would not allow me to be connected to a representative. I hung up and called the administrative number who asked me what I needed. When I said "billing" she said she'd "transfer me to the right department" but all she did was transfer me to the main number forcing me to listen to 10 prompts I didn't need. I can't believe its legal to force someone to listen to an advertisement when calling your business. The customer service rep said she didn't "know anything about it".

    The reason I called is because I went into an EZ Pass office about a month ago to switch my transponder on to my credit card since my father has purchased it for me under his account but of course wanted me to be responsible for the charges. "No problem" they say and switched it. Fast forward a month I get a bill for 3x the normal amount and realize they have put both my parents transponders on to my credit card as well. So I call the customer service line and they say, "Oh different transponders under the same account can't be under different credit cards, its policy. You have to go get a new EZ Pass pass and open a new account, its policy."

    Uhh but I just paid $20 for this transponder, now I have to go pay $20 for another which makes no sense and is meant to garner more money. Let alone the fact when I bought the transponder and put it on my card a month ago, the customer service rep didn't explain properly the fact that all 3 transponders would be charged to my card and that you can't separate the charges, and if I wanted to separate the charges I needed to open a new account. Every time I said something to her or had a request she said "it's policy" and wouldn't budge. "Its policy" and "well its our policy". Well its a bad policy, robbery, and purposely vague customer service. Turning into the new Time Warner... When you have a monopoly do whatever you want when you want however you want.

    The Tappan Zee Bridge has gone toll-free. According to the EZ Pass signs and website, if you do not display an EZ pass you will receive a bill in the mail. I never received a bill, just a violation and fine for over $500.00. EZ Pass has decided that rather than send me a bill, they would begin charging an EZ Pass that was not displayed and has been inactive for over a year. Not only did they charge the toll, but also an additional fine for the account not having funds available. I have called and written and have not been able to get this resolved. In addition, while they "investigated" they refused to stop billing that account and it continued to be fined. How do they justify this behavior? I am now receiving threatening notices that they are going to refer this to collections. There must be someone that can assist in resolving this. I cross this bridge on a daily basis.

    The EZ Pass MASSACHUSETTS company has me in tears and on the verge of suffocating from lack of breath because I simply do not know what to do. The EZ Pass is supposed to take money out of a prepaid account when you pass through a toll. If there is a problem a little yellow light will shine. When I had to travel south, they did not advise me that there might be a problem because I kept seeing a green light. Upon coming back home, I received a fee from every state I passed through. I was able to take care of all of those fees by making a phone call or going online, except Massachusetts.

    With MA, I received two $50 fees. I tried calling and taking care of it but I was told that I need to send in written correspondence before the fee due date. I did this, yet I still received another $90 late fee!!! HOW CAN I POSSIBLY RECEIVE A LATE FEE FOR FOLLOWING YOUR POLICY??? I do not have this money. I did not even make an error. I had $20 in my account that was supposed to be automatically refilled but it was YOUR error for not refilling automatically and YOUR error for not advising appropriately!!!

    Even if YOUR company processed the written correspondence I sent appropriately then I would still end up paying a small fee. THIS IS CALLED STEALING! I am so sick to my stomach because of this. I do not have this money and I have been dealing with YOUR error since April. Please get off my back and leave me alone. I am not strong enough to deal with this nonsense. It is so discouraging. I can't breathe. How do I go about getting these fees off my name, not to mention they say they are going to send my info to the Massachusetts department of motor vehicles so that I cannot renew my license.

    When I first started using EZ Pass, I set up automatic payments through their system. Since it was an automated service, when I received paper bills/documents in the mail, I disregarded and did not even open them. I figured that the same information was included in the paper billing as the online charges. Once I began receiving notifications in the mail that displayed red on the envelopes, I started to pay attention. However, at that time, I was dealing with a lot of things personally, with my family, and on the job. My first plan was to pay the bill online, but that website is extremely confusing and not user-friendly.

    When I tried to log on, I did not have the correct login information and even after repeated attempts to do so, I was unsuccessful. Next, I tried calling them, but I was always placed on hold for extremely long periods of time or their office was not open when I was available to call. My final plan was to wait a month and a half until the summer when I had more opportunities to try to figure out how to navigate through the online system to pay the bills.

    Fast forward to two weeks ago when I received a car registration suspension notice in the mail stating it was because my EZ Pass violations were not paid. When I went to the Gaithersburg MVA to pay, they stated that I owed over $10,000. If all of my actual fines were totalled, I would owe no more than $600 a year @ $2.00 a day/once a day and 5 days a week, but EZ Pass tacked on $50 for each unpaid fee and labeled each as a violation. So why was such an exorbitant amount assessed?

    It first started when I read about the new intercounty connector 200. I thought about how much time it will save me to get to work. So I decided to go to Giant on January and purchased 2 E-Z Pass for my 2 vehicle, one was under my girls friend name and mine with my name, both vehicles using my check card. January 20, 2012 I was billed my first E-Z Pass Rebill $25.00.

    Nice wow is working, am using the ICC 200 and am saving about 15 mins to get to work but is all worth it. Jan 30, 2012 another Rebill of $25.00. Ok sounds good since me and my girlfriend are using the ICC 200. Feb. 3, 2012 E-Z Pass check card purchase of $24.65. Feb. 3 Recur Debit Payment Rebill of $25.00. Feb 6, 2012 another $25.00. Ok no problem is a reload so they just put money in it. And so on 2/16 $25.00 2/21 $60.00 and so on with my bank statements showing every payment every month: Recur Debit Crd Pmtdate E-Z Pass MD Rebill 888-3216824 MD, my CC number and transaction number.

    Let me fast forward to March 2, 2015. I renew my tags. No warning, nothing so I renew my tags. March 16, 2015 while I was to renew my license one day after my license expired I decided to get a third transponder for a vehicle I was leasing thru my job. I went to the E-Z Pass counter and the lady charged me $9.00 for a new transponder. I said “Ok thank you but no!” She said “Wait a minute.” So I proceeded to stand there and wait for about 30 mins while my number to renew my license has been called. I said “What is going on?” She responded and said I owe $102.00. I said “Ok I don't know how that can be when I always get Rebill from E-Z Pass but ok is my birthday week and ok let's pay it off and move on.” I paid.

    Another 25 mins passed by I was standing there again and asked her what's the problem now? She said “You owe 28.” I said “Ok ma’am I have to go that's fine, charge me the 28 dollars so I can be on my way." She said “No sir, you owe $28,000 dollars.” I asked her again in disbelief how much and she repeated the same $28,000. I asked why she thought I owe that much. She told me it was because my check card did not have insufficient funds, so I asked her how can that be when I was getting Rebill all along. She says, “You have not paid anything since 2012.” How is that possible? She then said “Well you can't not have 2 accounts using the same check card.” So then she said one car (my girlfriends car was getting paid the whole time but not mine). I said “Ok something is wrong here” and I left and told her I will contact E-Z Pass when I get to work.

    I renew my license and went to work 3 hours later. Got to work made the call and I was told that I never paid anything (even though the transponder came with 25.00 reload when you purchase it) and that they don't see any of my cars that I had register since 2012 have not been paying anything that they don't see anything. They show I have paid $0.00. Nothing. How is this possible the lady continue to say sir you owe this amount ($28,000) and there's nothing they can do they don't show anything. I continue to ask where did all the money E-Z Pass was Rebill and shows in my bank statement go to? Response was they have not received anything from me. Maybe I did not go thru because no funds which I reply that's impossible because I have overdraft protection and which he stated maybe my card had expire in which I told him no that was not the case.

    I asked to speak to the manager who said they don't show anything and how will I take care of the $ 28,000? $3,000 is what I owe and since I haven't paid anything the rest in fines. They told me to email my bank statement to the head personal in charge which I email my bank statement highlighted with them Rebill every month. She got back to me and said I should of know I owe because they had sent me letters stating I did. I was told to go online and request a hearing with my violations. I called.

    The lady on the phone walk me thru it and I'm still waiting on my case hearing but nothing. All the money I have paid they said I haven't paid a dime for any of my cars. It was hard to find and hire a lawyer because no one knew how to handle this situation. I hired one but I have not spoken to him since paying him a year ago just telling me is a tough job and does not know how to handle it. But he advise me since I had use the 3rd car before all of this with my other transponder to pay off anything I owe on that vehicle.

    I called E-Z Pass once again on 3/27/15 spoke to a lady about my 3rd vehicle and asked her how much did I owe on my third vehicle which I already knew about the other 2 and I have my lawyer working on those but was advise to pay for the new vehicle. She said I only owe $121.20. I asked again to repeated to me, this time I had her on speaker and she again responded annoyed stating that I did not owe nothing more on my third vehicle to pay this amount and it will over for this car. I asked for a confirmation number which I took a picture of it since I did not want to lose that.

    Fast forward 3 months later. Received a letter stating that I owe $1,000 something for my third vehicle so I called and spoke to a service rep who stated I did not pay anything that at the time I called I owed this same amount and that I had not paid anything. I stated I had a confirmation number and that “Please go back to your phone recording and you will hear the conversation.” I asked for a manager who called me a day later stating that I did not paid anything (even though it shows in my bank statement) and that I owe the $1,000 something, forgot the exact amount and told him “Please I have a confirmation number.” He proceeded to say that is not needed and to contact my lawyer and hung up on me.

    Fast forward to now. I have kids and am on child support work hard for me and my kids and now they suspended both of my vehicle tags and my girlfriends vehicle in her case she was told she owes also money because also she was not paying anything even though that was one of the excuse was I was paying for her car not mine. I have all the bank statement proof and they still cannot answer where did all the money I was paying went. Was told I was paying for one car not the other, that my check card expired, that you cannot use one check card for 2 accounts, that my check card did not have funds and that I did not register it online.

    They send me to MD collections. Fox News contacted me to do a story but it was too late when I saw the email from Fox News, it was a day late. I need help here in Maryland getting bullied by a big company. By the way last time I used the ICC was in Middle of March 2015. Last I got rebill from them again on was 5/22/15 for $35.00.

I found out I could not cancel my account because I had a violation. I never received the violation but they said I could no longer appeal it because it was past the appeal time. They said they could "help" me write a letter to reduce the fine from 90 to 40 but I would need to add money to my EZ Pass account first. The account I was trying to close!

    I paid the 90 instead of updating my account because updating my account would just allow them to continue to overcharge me.

Yesterday, early May, I received my final statement from EZ pass with the toll charge and my tag refund (less the toll charge). When I called them to report the fraudulent toll charge, they said they will refund it to me, and after several rounds of questions they admitted this was their fault - that the toll happened during the EZ pass transit (via mail) back to their office.

I wasn't living at home so I didn't realize it wasn't charging my account.

Granted, I did not pay give attention to this issue immediately. But, I was willing 100% to pay the unpaid tolls. I couldn't afford the $510 so I never paid it. I now spend $120 a month in tolls that I have to pay cash because they will not work out the issue with me. So now it has gone to collections and EZ Pass said there is no way to clear this up unless I pay the $510. Ridiculous.

    I recently spoke with a customer service rep at Pennsylvania EZ Pass. I learned that I have an original transponder from 2004, which has been replaced in recent years. The CSR explained that they would send me the new transponder with the aluminum foil sleeve, pre-paid return label and reuse the same envelope received with the new transponder. Basically, the old transponder must be returned within 21 days. Sounds fair.

    I received the package with the new transponder, foil sleeve, envelope, but no pre-paid label. It turns out that I spoke to a new CSR at PA EZ Pass this morning. They require the customer to pay the return postage even though the customer isn't the party that decided to retire the old transponder model. How convenient? PA EZ Pass charges annual fees just because, raises tolls every year and now upcharge you to replace an old transponder that they retired. Wow! Better yet, the CSR said that "We paid for the shipping for the new transponder. We ask that you pay the return shipping for the old transponder." So, not only does PA EZ Pass save money by farming out the return shipping to customers, the customer is indebted to EZ Pass for paying shipping one way. I wish I never called these crooks.

    As you probably aware most E-ZPass customers do not have good visibility into their toll account as: It is a chore to log in. When customers finally logged in, they find statements that are complex to understand and difficult to reconcile. Toll discount rules vary among toll agencies, as each of the 37 agencies using the E-ZPass technology, operates independently. For business customers who apply their toll spending to their tax deduction or T&E reimbursement the above translate to either spending valuable time doing shallow work (i.e., figuring out toll records) or giving up altogether.

    Given that last year toll revenues in E-ZPass 3 biggest toll agencies combined reached close to $5 billion. Unclaimed annual toll expenses/discounts/errors can easily add up. The TollWiz app puts toll road customers back in the driver's seat! It innovates because it is first to market with a driver-centric focus and not an individual agency-centric. Available as an App on Android and iOS phones, it is hassle free. Since it is not restricted to any individual toll agency: It looks for toll discount opportunities that are applicable to the customer across all applicable toll agencies. Customers can easily check their toll account in any one of the 12 states currently supported, timely detect and address costly errors.

    Business customers can easily track their mileage as well, and send their driving expenses: tolls and mileage, directly to their Travel and Expense (T&E) account (e.g., Concur, Expensify, Certify). With TollWiz, toll agencies gain as well since customers are back in the driver’s seat, having to rely less on the toll agency for every inquiry and catching issues early before they become a headache for both: the customer and the agency.

I was actually told that the company does not make phone calls because they have too many customers.

    After speaking with a representative when I finally learned of these violations (months later due to a collection notice from a 3rd party), I was told to send a letter of dispute to the violations center with the information provided above and a check for the tolls, which I promptly did. A few weeks later, after my check was cashed, I received a notice from EZ Pass to my current location, as a final notice prior to collections. I immediately called them (the violations department of EZ Pass) and was told by a supervisor that my letter was received and one of the violations was taken off for a courtesy. I explained that I felt as if I was not responsible for any of the "administration" fees that I was being charged due to the circumstances detailed above, which were recorded and reviewed by said supervisor.

    His response was to send the letter again. He said that I might get a nicer person next time who will accept my dispute. I refused to send a second letter, asking to be transferred to one of the people who were responsible for disputes instead. He informed me that the only way to contact that department was through mail and they did not converse over the phone.

    I am appalled at EZ Pass's policies and "bedside" manner. To have to send a second letter, hoping to have a nicer person read it next time is ridiculous. To not be able to talk to someone on the phone for that personal interaction is ridiculous. For the company to not make phone calls about violations that are not reaching the responsible party is ridiculous. To say that you have too many customers to be able to reach out to them is ridiculous. This seems like an amateur move to me and a company that basically has a monopoly on tolls in New Jersey should have enough employees to be able to handle their affairs in a personal and responsible manner.

    E-ZPass Maryland has the absolute WORST customer service of ANY company I have ever dealt with, dating back to when I was a baby. The wait time to talk to someone on the phone is well over 20 minutes. They consistently mess up account information. If the internet existed in 1980 and the first prototype website had been developed, it would have been better and more user friendly than the E-ZPass website used today. I believe they had their website created for free by the local community college first year IT students. Unfortunately the students failed the course yet E-ZPass still decided to use the website that they created for their final project.

    The only thing E-ZPass is consistently good at is employing mean, sassy women to man the phone lines. When someone finally does pick up, they are sure to be an angry woman who hates her job and anyone calling in with a legitimate question. There needs to be a competitive market established for this service in order to increase quality, even if it decreases E-ZPass' short term profits. I highly recommend bypassing the EZ Pass system and continuing to pay tolls the old fashioned way. It is way more efficient in regards to your time.

    Received a violation in the mail today for the Delaware Memorial Bridge - so unfair. I go over once every other month, so I don't need/use EZ Pass. I pay the $1.00. Never thought I needed a receipt until I got a violation in the mail today. No recourse. What kind of scam is this? $31.00 violation for the $1.00 I ALREADY paid. I handed the money to a toll taker. Is this something they do, for people that don't ask for receipts? Is this a..."I gotcha"? Why would anyone breeze through a 1.00 toll, knowing how easy it is for them to snap a photo and send you a bill? Just awful. Shame on you, NJ/PA.

    I received an account replenishment on my EZ Pass account even though I had not used the EZ pass lanes in months. Upon checking my account I saw that someone was using a license plate # that I had turned into the DMV 8 years ago. The dimwitted state of DE recycles license plate numbers unbeknownst to me. This allowed a thief to blow through the EZ pass lanes charging the tolls to my account. Even when I notified EZ Pass to remove the plate from my account, they continued to let the charges pile up on my account - $81.00 so far.

    They cannot seem to figure out how to stop this theft and continue to suck money off of my credit card. The police will not help because they said, "maybe the person does not know that he/she is stealing from you therefore no crime has been committed." WHAT??? Since when is theft not a crime?

Little did I know they'd give me a ticket the next time I passed thru EZ Pass.

    Three weeks later I am sitting here with a violation pass, where they put all the burden on me to clear up the ticket and pay $5 to contest the ticket, which they are ultimately at fault for. Tonight, I go to log into the account to update the credit card/pay any outstanding fees, and of course the website is down. Go figure -- how much downtime do these guys have? It is almost like they don't want you to pay them so they can just assess more fines. Not a good technology experience at all.

    This is by far the worst company I had ever had to deal with. The first time I had an issue was about 3 years ago. I believe my debit card expired and we didn't make a change on the EZ Pass account. Long story short we paid over 300 dollars in fees from that mistake. To make things worse, once we settle that debt, my husband forgot to take the EZ Pass tag out of the car and even though we were paying the tolls cash we had to pay them again once we got the violations.

    I was reluctant to get the EZ Pass again but then gave in since the lines and the savings in the tolls are pretty good, and decided to get it again. BIG MISTAKE! We bought it in the toll. They did not tell us to register and we forgot to do it. The result is 3 tolls that we went by and did not pay. We would now have to pay $150 extra in fees. Called EZ Pass to see if they could take away even one of the fees but it seems like the representatives can not do anything and she told me to send a letter but she didn't sound too positive about the port authority taking the fees away. Debating if I should just pay it before they get my account on collection. This company can not get any worse.

We are being charged for the toll and a $25 administrative fee. We used it successfully passing a total of around 20 tolls. We didn't mind to pay for the toll, but to pay an administrative fee for something that was not our fault and took so long to tell us. We don't understand why it was not immediately notice when we returned the EZ-Pass, or charged with the money that was on hold for 3 months more. Right now, after returning the EZ-Pass we don't have any proof, any account to appeal, not even living closer to go in person.

    We don't recommend to trust in this system. We were told to get EZ-Pass for a fast trip, but didn't search online about it. If we would have read all this complaints before we wouldn't get it.

    On September 1st, I called EZ Pass questioning an overdue toll receipt that I had received in the mail. They say I owed them $154 for two or three ICC Toll transactions that occurred in April - when I already had my transponder. All transactions should have been covered by the transponder, since I had loaded and reloaded several times. I had previously paid all receipts AND had called in July to ensure that nothing was against my account. I asked the customer service rep (On September 1st) to do a ONE TIME load of $75 onto my account. They did. For some reason unknown to me, on September 7th, they decided to do another reload of $110.

    I thought that I had made it very clear on Sept. 1st, that I absolutely did NOT want my card saved to the account. Neither did I want my account automatically reloaded. I specifically said that. Today, they are going to "try" to refund me all but $25 of it. I need it all back, as it is their mistake and my transponder should not have been in the red at any point between the 1st and the 7th.

    My business has been having problems with NH EZ pass for months now. One of our vehicles is a 2 axle box truck with 4 tires total, the other two vehicles is a SUV and a standard size pick-up truck. We used to have one transponder for all 3 vehicles which is the way that EZ pass set up the account. Several months ago, I noticed that sometimes when we went through the tolls with the box truck we were being charged as a class 5 ($1.70) rather than a class 1 ($0.70) BUT it did not happen all of the time. It was so strange, we would get charged as a class 1 while going through the tolls on the way to a job and then a class 5 on the way home.

    At first, when I called to get the credits, they did it without question, saying that sometimes if there was another vehicle close behind us when we went through the tolls, EZ pass would think we were towing something and accidentally overcharge us. After a couple of months, they started to realize that something was wrong. I was told that there was something wrong with my transponder and that I needed to go into an EZ Pass office to have the transponder reprogrammed. Luckily I have an EZ Pass office not far from my office so I went there.

    The ladies in the EZ Pass office in Hooksett NH are great and super friendly unlike the customer service people on the phone. They told me that there was nothing wrong with my transponder and that it is an issue with the actual tolls. So they applied the credits for my overcharges and put in a service request to have a monthly review of my account so that I would not have to keep calling in each month to request a credit for overcharges.

    The following month when I received my statement, there were the overcharges again and no credits. So I called EZ pass again and was told that they do not do monthly reviews of accounts but that they would put in a service request for credits for all the new overcharges. A few days later, I received a call from the EZ pass office that I had gone into and was told that the corporate office had contacted them so they could call me and let me know that I needed a transponder to be used just for the box truck and that this should resolve my issue.

    So the next day, I went into the office again and purchased a second transponder, this was about a month ago. Yesterday, I received my statement for last month. It did not show any of the credits I should have and what do you know, there was still a couple of times that I was being overcharged. I called EZ pass again and am now being told that it is a weight issue. I told her that my vehicle is over 7000 lbs but under 10000 lbs with 2 axles and 4 wheels which according to their info is a class 1 and it would almost make sense if I was always being overcharged but I am not.

    I told her that before we had EZ pass and we just paid the tolls with cash, we were always charged as a class 1, never 5 and that we signed up for EZ pass to save time and money but that now I was thinking I may cancel the account and she said I could do that if I wanted, not really caring they may lose a customer. Also, the weight issue had never been brought up before. I had always been told it was a transponder issue. The lady I spoke to, like all the others was very rude and had no need to be. I never raised my voice and remained calm the whole time even though I wanted to scream at her. She said it was a transponder issue before but now it's a weight issue. So she said that they would need to confirm with DOT to see which class we should really be and they would get back to me.

    I have my account set up so that I replenish the account myself when the balance gets below a certain level. When we signed up for the account, it was set to $20.00 being considered a low balance (and also the minimum I can add at one time) and I would get an e-mail stating my balance was low. Now they changed it to $80.00 without asking me! I can understand them raising it a little bit if I now have two transponders but that is crazy. I asked about the credits they owe me and would I see them on my next statement. She said that also would be pending the response from DOT and it may take a while. I am so angry right now!

    I love the concept of an EZ Pass program, but the way they refill your account makes absolutely no sense and is sure to break anyone with a budget. When you sign up, you pick an amount you would like to deposit in your account. From there, you absolutely have no control how much money they decide to take out of your account. They don't even charge you based on the actual usage. If you happen to use toll roads and bridges more often, they start charging you more without any notification at all. If you notice you use tolls more often, you better keep a close eye on your bank account or you might get hit with a surprise.

    I used to use my EZ Pass every now and then, mostly for leisure. I started a new job and they went from charging $25 to $180 every three weeks without any warning. I had credit of over $300 in my account, and they would still debit my account $180 every three weeks! It was absolutely ridiculous! And once I stopped using it that frequently, they kept charging me until I took the time to call and complain. So basically if you use EZ Pass because you have less time to wait around tolls, you might have to find some extra time to deal with their customer service every now and then! I opted out of EZ Pass because of this, and even if I spend more money and time using cash, it's just less of a headache than trying to guess how much money they will take out of my account.

Mind you, $51 of the $51.98 are penalties associated with the delinquent account being revoked!

    Attempting to receive some level of customer consideration - I'd been a customer for years without issue or complaint - I was told by a customer service rep and an equally curt and unhelpful supervisor that no relief was due me and that I could either pay the $51.98 and mail my old device or I'd no longer be a customer. I'm left believing that E-ZPass absolutely doesn't care about having me as a customer. E-ZPass certainly doesn't care how abused I feel for my terrible "crime" of forgetting to update my credit card info and being delinquent on a 98 debt. And E-ZPass, an owner of a monopoly service for toll booth convenience, seems to have taken business cues from so many usurious lenders...I think loan sharks may be the only in the land who charge more outrageous fees (considering my fees tally in excess of 350% of my actual service debt).

I happened to go over the George Washington Bridge three times in one day to pick up and leave off family, and I was charged $75.00 in one day. When one is watching their expenses, this action causes overdrafts. If $25.00 is taken out when the toll is less than that, there should be a balance left over from previous charges of $25.00. The way it is set up, this system is ruinous to one's checking account. I spoke to customer service about this in the past, but it still happens.

    I signed up for EZ Pass last April, after having to use the Maryland ICC and ending up with a ticket because I didn't pay the toll (no toll booths). I hardly ever go through the toll roads so I didn't think it was necessary before that. So imagine my surprise when I end up with three tickets totaling $168.00. According to a customer representative I had signed up for a commuter plan, of which I have no recollection, and so I was charged for the unused trip (around $68.00) which made my barely used account negative, and therefore, when I did go through the toll I got ticketed. So, add that to the $168.00. She said it was my fault, but they would try to get the state to refund it, but I would be removed from the commuter plan. But I got stuck with the ticket. This occurred in March.

    Fast-forward to now, and they made the same charge to my account, which I found out getting another ticket from Delaware in June. I call and they tell me that this commuter plan is still in effect, and it is my fault that it was not changed. There is no indication of this status on the statements, or in the sign-up confirmation email, BTW. And, they will not review it for a refund unless I pay the negative balance of $51.00. I should mention that the Delaware ticket is $29.00. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

    If you count the $18.00 x2 I paid for the transponders, this EZ PASS thing was THE WORST PLAN EVER!!! I could have gone 10 years and not paid that much in tolls. And they have the power to prevent MVA registration and licensing and issue violations on you. Just stay away from it if you can.

Not only was I being charged, but receiving notices in the mail to pay the exact same fees. So I've been basically charged twice for the same violation.

    I've contacted the company several times in regards to getting these unnecessary fees waived due to the fact they are really adding up and does not make sense. And when I was told I would receive a callback within a week from a rep advising me if my fee waiving was approved and never got that call, I had had it with the company. I wish there was a way to get this company investigated because they are pretty much ripping off a lot of customers and based off the reviews I've read, I'm not the only victim. At this point I will just be finding other routes, routes that will take longer to get to work just so I can avoid paying a toll. I hate this company with a passion and will be calling tomorrow to be cursing out yet another representative!

    I have had the worst experience dealing with EZ Pass. My EZ Pass for some reason wasn't charging my card like it was set up to do. So out of nowhere because previously my card was being charged I began getting outrageous bills because I was being charged for the toll and violations. When I spoke with EZ Pass to fix this they assured me my card would be charged when the balance was low. Well a month later I received yet another outrageous bill. I paid this bill along with the previous bill. Tried to speak with someone about it. Basically I was told “pay the bill before the due date or you will be charged an even more outrageous bill and possibly have other issues with the mva or you can go to court but you won't get a court date before the due date and you are required to pay court costs.”

    Basically I had no choice. Paid the bill, sucked it up, and canceled my EZ Pass account. Two years later my husband now needs an EZ Pass for work. It just makes things simpler for him. I set up the limit to charge my account 25 dollars each time the EZ Pass needs to be replenished. Well come to find out a month after having my EZ Pass, EZ Pass decided without any confirmation from me or an email to inform me or phone call to raise my amount when the EZ Pass needs to be replenished to $175. I wasn't expecting this charge. Needless to say I am very frustrated and irritated with this service/company. I feel as though they know they can do these things and finagle people out of money.

    I received a replacement tag in Jan.2015, at my place in Florida for the winter. Never used this tag, of course, since there is no EZ Pass service in FL. To my surprise, the March bill showed about 6 transactions for toll fees in Boston, Albany, NY, etc. -- a total of about $24 -- with the tag # of the tag that I received in FL in January!

    Customer rep told me to write a letter explaining the situation. I did. No response. Calling again after I noticed that EZ Pass declared this tag stolen or lost, charging me $16, while the tag was still in my possession. This time the CSR listened to my explanation and he would add his two cents to my dispute. Today (June 22) I received a response that they won't credit my account for the Feb. transactions since the tolls in dispute occurred prior to MY (!!) reporting that the tag was stolen or lost. I never declared the tag stolen. They did. Called again today. Talked to a supervisor. They won't credit me. They simply won't believe when I say I NEVER used that tag because I was in FL. I gave up.

I am a very responsible individual, I have called EZ Pass to request resident rate to which I was told to fax my current bill and registration. I have done so, a week later I saw I still was not receiving the rate. I called back, I was told that my registration did not match up with my license plate I have on file (which I still don't understand how considering I have had the same plate for over 10 years).

I call back to inquire about my status, I was told that I need to fax all 15 pages of my bill and not just the front portion that indicates my address and date of the bill. So I go ahead and oblige to this request.

    Another week and half goes by and NOTHING! I call back and I was told that I had to refax my bill and registration again because supposedly each piece of information gets deleted automatically therefore I have to fax all documents at once and include another letter explaining the situation. I have faxed everything once again and patiently waited. Once again over a week goes by and I am being owe over 200 dollars at this point. I reluctantly ordered a new driver's license just to satisfy their address request and faxed it over. I received my residency rate after a long conversation with a supervisor. Two days later I receive a letter that states my residency could not be confirmed and I was back to regular rate and no credit. I called again and faced all of the information AGAIN!!! Now I finally received my residency rate HOWEVER they are only crediting me from the date of the FAX!!!

All this was done knowing that I did not have a violation and was not in the area where it allegedly occurred on February 24, 2015. I opened the picture of the vehicle causing the violation and discovered that that vehicle was not mine and the registration plate was Connecticut license plate. I have never registered a vehicle in Connecticut and have never lived in Connecticut. The plate is not even close to any of my NJ registrations.

    I emailed two disputes to EZ Pass via their website. Received a notice via email that someone would contact me about my dispute. No response. Received two more notices via mail that I was overdue on my violation. Called violation dispute number and never spoke with a live person. The prompts instructed me to approve EZ Pass to charges my account for the violation if I was disputing it. What! Pay for a violation that I did not cause. Not my car. Not my registration. I want to dispute the violation not pay for it. Sent a notice back to EZ Pass disputing the violation and informing them that the registration is from Connecticut and not NJ.

    On January when I was passing a bridge at the border of New York city where the toll is $14, the officer in the toll plaza signaled me that I might pass without paying a fee. Few weeks later I received a violation notice from EZ Pass New York stating I needed to pay $14. I then sent back their letter with a dispute saying the toll plaza officer signaled me to pass without paying. I wrote this dispute within 30 days after receiving the violation notice. They sent me the receipt of the dispute saying I needed to pay $14+$50 administration fee. The day they sent out the receipt was after the 30-day period. I called their customer service and explained my circumstance to the phone operator. She told me she doesn't know why that plaza officer let me pass but she does know that they don't give free ride and suggested me writing a letter to their violation department since there was no dispute section in the letter they sent me this time.

    I took her advice and wrote them a letter saying I now understood and would pay $14 but they needed to waive the $50 administration fee because me not paying it within 30 days is because they sent me the receipt after 30 days, but still there is the $50 on the second receipt. Then I chose to pay the $64 since the fee may rise even higher as time wears on. From their point of view, I was a guy who wanted to skip the fee. But they totally ignored the fact that they need time to process and that process time probably costs their customers.

    NJ EZ PASS is the most ** organization around. Many of the tolls are broken, so you pay and nothing registers, then you get a bill for $50 plus the toll you already paid. It is an incredible scam, which should be illegal. I barely ever drive on the highway yet this has happened to me at least 3 times. And when you make a complaint it's incredibly complicated and impenetrable on purpose so you'll just give up and pay. It should be illegal.

    On 3/27/15 I was taking a trip to NY to visit my daughter in college. When I went through my first toll booth, the light was yellow. I could not read what it said. I panicked because I was still in Mass and only at the beginning of my trip. I planned on stopping at the first rest stop to call customer service. I called customer service and the first thing they asked me for was my name. She said we don't have you listed anywhere. Then she asked me for my 4-digit pin number. I gave a number. She said it was not correct. I said I have no idea what it is. I have had an EZ Pass account (formerly Fast Lane) for almost 10 years. She said, "well then I can't help you because I won't be able to look at your account." This was beyond frustrating.

    I called a second time and received a man who asked for my name. I gave it and said "I can't find you." It turns out that it is still under my married name, though I've been divorced 4 years. I said I thought I changed it online. He rudely said to me, that is not possible. I explained that I do not know my pin number, that I am on a road trip. He said, "well then I can't access your account." I told him that this was beyond frustrating. I said I know there is something wrong with my transponder and I don't want to get fined. He said "well then, you can fax me a letter and I will be able to access your account." I told him I am in my car and I have no way to use a fax machine. I said there should be a backup for people who do not know their pin numbers such as a security question or last 4 digits of my social security number. He says "well we don't do it that way." I hung up on him. At this point I realized I was going to have to pay cash.

    My next toll booth was the beginning of the Mass Pike. I go to the cash/EZ Pass booth and expect I will now have to take a ticket. I forgot the transponder was on the windshield so it wouldn't give me a ticket, BUT it did turn green with the words low account. After wracking my brain, I finally realized that I had not updated my new credit card after just recently my previous credit card had been compromised. I pulled into the next rest area and used my phone to go online to update my credit card. It asked for either: my account number (did not know it), transponder # (which I did enter, but didn't work), email, (which I also entered. and it told me it was wrong.) I entered it 3 times. It would not take it.

    I called customer service again (believe me, this is the last place I wanted to call). She said "well entering the transponder number is a new feature but it doesn't work." She said entering the account number doesn't work either. Are you kidding me? I said "why doesn't my email address work?" She said "I don't know." I also sent an email explaining my entire situation and I received a very rude answer back saying that when I signed up for my EZ Pass, I signed a contract and picked a pin, knowing that I was going to have to use it if I needed to contact customer service. Basically telling me I am at fault. I continued to go through the EZ Pass toll booths my entire trip to NY and all the way back. I continued to get green lights but with the words low account.

    I am now home and just updated my credit card on my account. Why I was able to log in through my laptop but not my phone is beyond me. After reading all these posts, I am really nervous that I will be getting bills with large fees in a couple of days or up to 4 months with no recourse. My blood is boiling having to deal with state run agencies. Ask me about health care. That is a whole other story :)

In the second direction I tried to show them the ticket I had JUST received on the other side just minutes earlier, to no avail. What was originally a $1.25 toll each way has become $97.50 and that's before the "convenience" fee of paying online or by phone.

    I had a rental car, got tricked into entering an EZ-Pass lane at a toll plaza on Rt 95 when I thought I was driving into a cash lane. MTA/EZ-Pass sent the rental car company a video toll invoice for $12 ($8 dollar toll + $4 service charge), they sent it to me, and I paid it promptly. MTA-EZ-Pass claimed I paid it late. My check was received by them 1 day past the due date and they cashed it the next day - so technically 2 days late. This was over Xmas vacation and early January with a lot of snow in the Northeast and slow mail deliveries, rental car people on vacation, etc. The next thing you know I get a summons for a $50 fine from the same outfit because they said I didn't pay the invoice or I paid it late (they were not specific on this point).

    It wasn't like I was trying to beat the toll. I had the $8 in my hand as I approached the toll plaza. There wasn't anybody there to accept the money from me. That's my fault? And I did pay the $12, and the check cleared. What do they want from me (and you, who will undoubtedly fall into this scam sooner or later too)? $50 is a big wad of money, especially when they have the $12 I owed them, albeit 2 days "late".

    I called the MTA-EZ-Pass "Service" Center about 8 times and talked with 6 different "Service Representative", each one vowing to get me satisfaction and relief me of paying the $50 bite. They were just sucking up to me and playing the people-pleasing-schmooze-game on me, a variant of the good ole Good-Guy-Bad-Guy game we have all fallen prey to in some form or other by scammers of every ilk. Try as I might I could never get past the EZ-Pass front guard Service Representatives to someone in authority who could (presumably) bring me a modicum of satisfaction.

    When I asked how I could appeal the $50 "fine", they told me I could go to court in Cecil County Maryland and tell my story to The Judge. Well, that would mean giving up a day's work and a day's pay and betting on The Judge would be in a sympathetic mood that day. Been there, done that before, No Thanks. I see this as a form of EXTORTION not JUSTICE as we are supposed to have here in the United States of America, Land of the Free, Home of the Brave, Justice for All. They know I'm not gonna travel 100 miles to fight a $50 fine no matter how unfair it is and no matter how smitten I am about it.

    It's a form of BULLYING in that EZ-Pass & MTA are throwing around their considerable power and authority to extract grossly exaggerated penalties by requiring you to jump thru irrational and counter-productive hoops knowing full well in the end you will be forced to pay the $50, or find out The Judge called in sick the day you actually do give up a day of work and go to court to plead your case (Yes, that did happen to me in a similar situation years ago.). Basically, the Maryland Transportation Authority has licensed EZ-Pass to trick and extort well-intentioned citizens like me and you, so they can sit back and collect $50 fines created by EZ-Pass Corporation's incompetence and mismanagement.

    Understand people if you receive a fine from them, pay it immediately, if it jumps to 50.00 penalty. For lack of another option, at this point I would pay it. Why this fine will only double to 100 plus the original cost of the fine. Also the cherry on top is they will report to the credit reporting agency. After you pay the 50.00 you then can fight to see what recourse we have. This is difficult but it is a nightmare to get them to remove these fines.

    About a month ago I received a Final Violation Notice in my mail from E-Z Pass. I was very surprised reading FINAL Violation Notice since I have never received an initial notice. The violation called on me paying $13 toll plus $50 administration fee. I called E-Z Pass and one if their representatives assisting me said that she doesn't see that they even attempted to mail me the initial violation instead they just mailed me a Final Notice.

    She advised me on writing a letter along with the check for the toll which would ask for one time fee waiver courtesy explaining the reason why my EZ pass which I have for 5 years now wasn't able to reload. (Just to mention to you all my Chase cards were cancelled by Chase due to Security Issues which I wasn't aware of you till 2 weeks after, when I was trying to use the card in the store where it came up declined). So I wrote the letter explaining all this and mailed it.

    Few weeks later I saw EZ pass has cashed my check so my mind was put in ease that they accepted the letter. How wrong I was!! A couple of weeks ago I received a mail from E-Z Pass stating that they have sent me to a collection agency for the $50. So I called them again gave them the violation number printed on the letter. They told me that this printed violation number doesn't match my name or address so I shouldn't worry. I asked them why was I sent to collections not the person that the above violation belonged to. They couldn't give me an answer and told me not to worry.

    I decided to call back and finally reached a rep. named Henry who researched my name and found my past violation that was paid but the administrative fee was still assessed on it. He said that the letter I mailed was read and the EZ pass clerk didn't find my explanation to be a good enough reason for dismissal of the $50 fee and sent me to a collection. I believe that a Security Fraud is a pretty good reason for Chase to cancel my cards however a clerk at EZ Pass doesn't. Henry told me to fax the wrong violation letter to his supervisor Revia and assured me she will call me back with the solution. Two weeks past and no word from Revia the supervisor. So I called today and the rep. told me that there is no way they will waive the fee and I'm still in collections. I find this whole situation ridiculous. Incompetent people in supervisor positions robbing hard working people and ruining their credit.

    I visited Boston in November 2014. Unknowingly in the wrong lane, I learned later that the fee would be mailed to me back home in Quebec. That's fine. No big deal. Upon my return home and to work the day after (I work in a remote location with WIFI but no telephone access for up to 5 weeks at a time). By the time I returned home to a stack of mail, I found a letter stating that I owed the Commonwealth of Massachusetts $106 for a late payment.

    I tried time and time again to access the PayByPlate website with no luck. It has been blocked entirely, stating that safety and security were issues and I could not proceed. Again, I cannot call unless I am at home as I do not have access to a telephone in my remote northern job site. I tried the website from my phone and computer as well as those of my coworkers with no luck anywhere.

    I had the joy *eyes rolling so badly it hurts* of speaking with a CSR at PayByPlate who was completely useless and beyond rude. I then decided to write an appeal. I explained my situation with living away with no telephone for over a month at a time and their website not being accessible in Canada. But nope, no help. Their solution? Buy an EZPass. Why? So you can screw me over again? I've made 2 trips to the USA in the last calendar year, both of which were miserable in regards to tolls and tollbooths. Maybe I should brush up on my ** skills before my next trip.

    I took a Maryland road I don't normally drive on. It had a toll. No one was in the toll to take $. I didn't receive the first notice of $9 toll due. The first notice I receive from Maryland Transit Authority (MTA) is actually the second notice. Now, I owe $59. I can't prove I didn't get the 1st notice. MTA states that law states, the only way I can appeal is to go to court. BTW, at which point I will need to take off a day of work and the courts may add fees. I am assessed a $50 citation whether or not the MTA can prove they sent me a 1st notice. Work out best for The State of Maryland if they forget to put a few notices in the mail....

    Imposing and collecting this penalty is in a manner that assures vehicle owners cannot meaningfully contest violations and pay inflated and outrageous penalties. So I have to prove I am innocent, isn't that backwards. This is unfair business practice and would not be allowed but now it is controlled by the government and we are hostage to their abuse! Where is the oversight! It is pass legislation the only way to appeal the $50 citation is to go to court. Now, I understand the Libertarian's! When I received the notice, I was certain the $50 late penalty was an error, but now I see we are serving the government that was supposed to serve us!

    I had Ezpass MD commuter pass for about 5 months because I take the tunnel everyday to get to work. When I bought a new car I ordered a new pass and give my husband my old pass. I didn't know the commuter pass was only connected to one pass because it was both under one account. So the entire time Ezpass charge me $200 a month instead of $70. When I finally realized what they did I call Customer Service and they were no help, they wouldn't even let me speak to a manager at the time. I finally requested a call back which didn't come till the next day, and I missed the call. The manager did however leave a voicemail saying, "You’re not getting anything back from us."

    I closed my account and was told I would get the remaining $132 on my account back, but then they turned around only refunded my $70. When I call, the rude customer service representative stated they were still charging me for commuter pass I was told to stop using. This was the worst experience I have ever had to deal with. They are now refusing to return my money, and will not help me at all. If I add up all the money they took from me, it would be hundreds.

    This has happened several times to me as I occasionally drive into NYC on the west side and go through a toll booth with NO option to pay. So if you don't have an EZpass a bill is supposed to be mailed to you. But what really happens is the bill never comes, just the VIOLATION. By the time you call about it and finally get someone on the phone it's already in collections so out of fear you either pay or mail what the toll amount it ($5) because that is what you REALLY owe. But then you get another violation that is doubled up to $200. WHAT A SCAM NYC has going on. Finally after the third time this has happened to me I got a live person on the phone. They told me that this happens all the time. Pretty sad way for the city to be making money--huh? It's going to stop people from going into the city that doing have to --and that stops them from seeing a show or going to dinner or shopping or seeing the tree at Christmas time.

    I drove 485 highway on the summer night (10 pm), did not realize, it is a toll road with no actual tolls. As I understood, it was similar to the 2+ passengers lines working at the certain times of the day/week. Signs were confusing and not really explaining where the actual tolls are and how you pay. 4 months later I got the letter claiming $4.50 for the toll, $50 in charges, and threats to revoke my driving license based on the state law. I called the phone and explained how unfriendly for the drivers is that EZ pass. I also asked for the law information - I can't believe, state representatives would pass anything like that. I agreed, however, to pay $4.50 and disagreed on everything else. EZ pass is a nightmare for the out of MD state drivers. The using rules are not clear. You are basically trapped and framed with no choice.

    I normally love my EZ Pass. I have had it for years in Virginia. When I went through NJ before the holidays, NJ was unable to read the pass - I got a yellow light. But when I called NJ EZ Pass, they said as long as it was not a red light, I was good to go and could correct it later. 2 weeks after I got back to Virginia, I started receiving letters from NJ - if the toll was $2.85, NJ added a $50 administration fee FOR EACH TOLL BOOTH. So, a $2.85 toll became $52.85. 4 toll booths - $200 worth of administration fees. Apparently, the booths were not able to read my EZ-Pass in NJ. I did get a letter from New Hampshire $3.85 toll and $1 administration fee ($4.85 total) - no big deal. When I tried to protest to NJ - by phone and by email - well don't waste your time. When you finally get a hold of anyone, they just give you a runaround. To call $50 an administration fee and not a penalty (which is not legal, I am told) is just a bunch of nonsense. I am headed back to school in New England shortly. I am not going through NJ for sure. My advise: avoid NJ Turnpike. There is something wrong with those folks.

Lucky I asked if I should avoid using the toll, and she said, "Yes! You can't use it until this is taken care of"... Again, I had to ask more questions. "Well, how long should I wait?" "Ugh, at least 5-7 days." “Unreal,” I said. Why am I being punished when I already made my payment? I have 3 vehicles with 3 tags. After so many years of having e-zpass, I'm missing the toll takers.

Over about 3 months there was around fifty dollars worth of bills that EZ Pass would not charge to my account because the TAG on my car had a typo in the system. So even though they knew it was my car and matched the Photo of the actual tag with me, they would not charge my account. As a result they fined me 750 dollars in civil penalties. Additionally they will not allow you to take it to court because they only give you a short time to resolve their screw ups and conveniently that time expired when they first notified me of the issue.

    Started out owing a bill for 20.00. Waited for the next bill since it was only for couple days and it was 160.00. Now I didn't pay it and they charged me a late fee and sent new invoice. I had a family issue and left out of state. Came home 36 days later and found invoice for 1345.00. Ya that much. They charged me $3.50 for the toll, $ .50 fee for pay by plate and then $50.00 for the late charge every time I went over it after that. Long story short I stopped going over the bridge and going to the tunnel to pay at the toll. I forgot about the bill and got another bill for $2540.00 a month later. I call them and they said they would settle for $540.00 to be paid at once. I didn't have it all and they wouldn't accept payments.

    So another month passed and I have the money but now it's $3970.00. I can't believe it and now they want $1200.00 to settle and I have to sign up for the EZ pass. Long story short, I only owe $410.00 in tolls and the $ .50 pay by plate fee. So that's 3400.00 in fees for 3 months late. Even the IRS don't charge that.

    E-Z Pass Virginia sent me a bill dated 20 October, 2014, for a $1.00 toll plus a $12.50 admin fee, and that was only the beginning. On October 25, 2014, I returned a copy of their bill with the following dispute message all of which is true, and I signed the message: "I'll be happy to pay the toll, and I had attempted in every foreseeable way to do so, but your so-called admin fee is absurd." There is no way that one could have expected the Dulles Toll Road to be E-Z Pass or coins only, and the same holds true for the toll line I was in. What's more, there was no way I could have backed up and gotten into the Full Service line. If I could, it would have been my second 20-minute delay at such a line the second 20-minute delay for that one trip itself.

    There was no warning at all that the lane was coins only. Instead, the sign said cash only, and until one reached the gate itself, there was no way of knowing or suspecting that the toll gate would not accept a dollar bill. Even so, I got out of my car and attempted to walk to the full service gate, dollar bill in hand, to pay the toll. The attendant motioned me back into my car; opened the gate; and motioned me through. In view of your lack of full disclosure lack of full clear signage, your so-called admin fee is extortion, plain and simple. E-Z Pass totally ignored the above communication and sent me another bill, labeled Final Notice and dated November 19, 2014. This time the so called admin fee was $25.00, and the notice threatened civil penalties up to $500.00 and additional fees.

    There is no question I was wrong to start with, my CC had expired and I needed to update the information for my account. I had a couple times going through the tolls (I'm a daily commuter on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge) in which the system "buzzed" letting me know there was a problem. I go into my account, pay the fees and added money to my account figuring everything was fine. Turns out that EZ Pass decided to make an alternate account using my current tag number and associated non-payed fees and late charges were attached to this "NEW" account.

    How in this day and age a computer system wouldn't let you know that the tag already has an account I have no clue (and no one was able to answer that question as well with EZ Pass). The end result was that I owed over $400 in "late fees" and other charges for not using all my trips on my account even though my MTag account was working just fine. This was all due to them creating a separate account for my car and tag number and not associating my account I've had since MTag started at this toll for many years. So I ended up paying over $500 to clear my account (majority of the fees were some daily late fees that were over $25 a day for months). Even though my physical MTag had been working fine for months, they didn't care, I was told there was no one else that I could speak with about these charges and the only choice I had was to pay the fees if I ever expected to renew my license or tag.

    I was so frustrated the wife ended up paying the fees since I refused to! So how a company just up and creates a separate account for your tag even though the tag is already associated with an account I have no idea. They said mailing statements were sent out which I had never received, and why there was no indication of any of these issues when I log into my MTag account I don't understand! If these issues were tied to my account like any other normal company "account" in this world I would have paid everything to date and been done with it. I paid off my balance and was using my MTag for a month before I was made aware of the back money they said I owed since it was associated with a different account than the one tied to my MTag. I feel bad for having to cheat the MDOT now to "get back" my money I lost but if they want to cheat me out of hundreds of dollars I WILL get my money back one way or another...

    In August, after getting notice that my son's car had gone through a toll and received a violation, I went online to access my nj-ezpass account. I knew there was a balance of $50.00 on my account for my son to use. Once in the account, I noticed an unfamiliar tag on my account. I then noticed that the vehicle associated with this tag number had been going through tolls for a period of 4 months, in all parts of New Jersey; south, north, and central Jersey. In its travels, this vehicle had literally drained my account into a negative balance. This is why my son received the violation notice.

    I called customer service and was told that I had to file a dispute for the charges. I filed the complaint and was told to wait ten business days to call back. I waited three weeks and noticed that the account showed no adjustments, so I called back. They informed me that the vehicle was a rental truck out of Absecon and that they were in the process of tracking down the owner of the vehicle. I called back again a few weeks later and was told that it required further investigations through the DMV. It has now been over two months and I still have not received a credit for the unauthorized charges. They don't care who they get the money from as long as someone pays toward their paychecks.

    My personal experience with EZ Pass is as follows: I got my transponder in person at my local AAA, and paid the required deposit. When I got home, I registered online for an account and hooked up my debit card to automatically take money to replenish my account as needed. I've used it occasionally during my trips back and forth to NY (I work from home so I only use it for non-work needs). It saves me time and saves me money on PA roads. While I have yet to have a problem with billings, I just read about potential overbilling in other states, so I'll have to go back and check again. However, as far as I can see I've not been billed for driving on a road on which I've never been, and I've not had a problem. I check my online account regularly after using the EZ Pass and suggest others do the same.

    On another note, beware of a phishing scam that's been getting worse... To those who have received emails about owing money for EZ Pass violations, be very careful - there's a confirmed EZ Pass scam that sends emails claiming you owe money for a violation, but that you have to click the link to download the invoice. These emails are not real and should be reported to the BBB, FTC and IC3 (The Internet Crime Complaint Center). The EZ Pass Group has a warning on its website, and a number of local outlets and member state EZ Pass websites have also issued warnings. If you have received a violation email, don't click the link, but instead call your EZ Pass group to ensure you did indeed receive a violation. These emails look very real, and use the right colors and logos. For anyone who wants to tell their stories for an online newspaper, please feel free to contact me.

    I updated my EZPASS account online to change my vehicle registration information after purchasing a new car. I retained the same license plate so only needed to change the vehicle make, model, year. However, the system changed the type of plate from vanity to regular registration. I actually recall reading the options on the drop down and questioning which type of registration as it did not clearly show any vanity option. I left it as it was. Subsequently, I received inconsistent fees. I could pass through a toll heading north and an hour later head south, and get a flashing warning only in one direction. It turns out the system didn't recognize the account since it was not set to vanity even though everything else was correct. Calling the support line was no help. And, there is no option to dispute for this purpose. It is not the state's fault. It is the service. There should be better customer service options.

    EZ Pass terms state: IV. DISCOUNT PLANS Any unused trips within the discount plan cycle will be deducted from your Account ten (10) days after the plan cycle ends and will be reflected on your statement.

    My recent statement showed the deduction AND an additional $30 fee for the unused trips. The full commuter pass monthly fee had already paid; this was in addition to the monthly fee. I have sent five emails, which have been acknowledged ("someone will respond in five business days") but never ever responded to. I've emailed customer service as well as filled out the form on the website. It's been three weeks.

    I have NEVER driven on a toll road nor has anyone in my family. I have NEVER signed up for any type of toll service or anyone else in my family. I don't believe Nevada even has toll roads. When I tried to access the web site via their email claiming I owed them toll fees, my internet security blocked the web site as containing harmful content. The EZ Pass email doesn't tell you where this violation took place. Conclusion... It is **! It is phishing for any and all information it can get from you and "money" if they get lucky. Every email I have received from them has had a different sender. This is the latest: E-Z Pass Info.

    For a number of years I have used I-pass in Illinois with very few problems. However EZ-PASS for Ohio & Indiana's side really tries to slip it to you. And based on the fact that it was a same day occurrence it had to be a blatant theft. Usually I assume based on my traveling I would rack up a decent amount in tolls. However I was taken back when I seen $160 racked up in a single month. I looked at the itemized detail and was shocked to see a $34.76 on a single charge for 08/16 (Norm $4.18) and also $16.00 in Ohio for a charge from Streetsboro to Westgate (Norm $9.00) all in the same day. Now I have to review all my past to see how long they have been stealing from me.

    I received a toll charge for $1.55 in July of 2014. The license plate info and the photo are not of any of my vehicles. Of course everyone said just pay it because it will be easier than dealing with the MTA. I called and spoke with "Danita" who informed me to not pay it and it would be reviewed. I was to receive another notice in the mail. Well today I did and it is a bill for $51.55! I can contest this and go to court?? Really. I teach Family and Consumer Science. It is against every grain of my being to pay for a fine of which I am not responsible for...I have never even been to this toll area. The photo isn't of any vehicle I own. I wonder how many people are paying fines which they are not guilty of? How much money is being made? They haven't heard the last of me.

    We just received another bill for the first time use of a tunnel under this system from last February. The bill was paid in May after being received in April. It is now August, and E-ZPass, along with Elizabeth River Tunnels, is trying to re-charge us for the toll and add a $25 'late fee' to rip us off. We have a convoluted toll system being run by two separate entities that do not communicate or share data, that obviously does not work and penalizes innocent people financially. I just want to know who is starting the class-action lawsuit and give this system the horrible review it deserves.

    I was driving to get to my destination via 495 in VA. I didn't have a recollection of what happened as this occurred in April. In June, I received a violation notice for not paying a toll road. I was surprised to pass through a toll road without paying. This is not like me. For a $1.25 toll road the letter stated have to pay $25.00 including administration fee. I knew that was a ripoff and a scam. I assumed I would have at least another month to pay it.

    With my busy hectic life I mislocated the letter but decided to call them looking the info online to pay for the fee. At this time I had an opportunity to speak with someone in the EZ pass who explained to me that not all toll roads have an option for cash. I realized that must have been the case with me. I had no idea how I got into that. She said what I should have done is to call in 48 hrs to pay. I asked where could I have gotten the number to call? Maybe that info should have been written somewhere on the toll roads with no cash option.

    When I was ready to pay it was $100.00. How is that in a month the price goes that high. They claim to send me another notice before when I actually never received one. Although my life is busy but I take the time to open all my e-mails one by one leaving a designated time for mails. This is just sad and is a way of money making. All toll road should have an option for cash. .

    I had an EZ pass in the mid 90's. My account was closed for lack of use and an expired credit card in 2008. I owed a 4 dollar service fee. The account was sent to Retrieval-Masters Creditors Bureau, INC, RMCB. RCMB charged $50.00 dollars for a $4.05 Bill, in addition to a $4.95 processing fee. I am a retired soldier. At the time of my account's closure, I was preparing for my second deployment to Iraq, I was stationed in Fort Lewis, Washington. In summary, I went to the EZ Pass service center to get new transponders, I left with no EZ pass and a Bill from a collection agency. All of this is related from my absence from NJ and military service.

    A few months ago, I was driving home from an interview, paid all of my tolls, yet still was mailed a violation. I explained that I did put my 50 cents in the basket, even when it said lane closed as I drove up. A similar situation happened with an E-ZPass in DE and I was excused. Yet, NJ E-ZPass did not want to believe me and threatened me with a $50.50 fine and collection agency when I called. Sounds to me that my beloved state of NJ is desperate for cash and will be happy to rob, threaten, prosecute, and bully innocent citizens to "earn it!" Seriously, grow up and gain some perspective in life; there are worse criminals that are robbing taxpayers on a daily basis. Please put your limited resources into going after them. Hey, you'll probably generate a lot more revenue!

    My siblings and I had rented a 15-passenger van to go to Florida to my dad funeral a couple of months ago and of not knowing about the cashless toll and being charged by the plates racked us up a load of fees with the rental company because of it. I think the state of New York is scam people and this is crazy. I have read everybody complaint and just imagine how many more people across America that have traveled through New York that have been treated wrongly and has been made to feel that it a scam. I say we the people should file a class action suit against the state of New York Tolls and Bridges and let them know that we mean business and we are not going allow them to treat us this way anymore!!!

    I use the Henry Hudson Parkway Bridge to get to the GW. They shoot a pic of your plates and snail mail a bill 4-6 weeks later. I have always paid them by check in real time. But last year there was an indiscretion and I began getting violations charges after the fact. That would turn a $10 round trip charge into a $150 charge including the fees. I fought it every way I could, with letters and Xeroxes of my checks and never made a dent in their armor. I finally called and got a person on the phone, restated the entire history, was stonewalled, but never lost my cool. At the end of the chat I politely asked if MTA ever makes an error, clerical or otherwise, regarding the payments. The answer was a flat NO. I paid the violations/fines because it was less stressful than continuing to fight. After that point I decided to start paying by credit card.

    Now it's July 2014 and I've made at least 5 bridge crossing since the year started. With every bill they send, I pen in the CC account number, sign the rest of it and mail it back using their supplied envelope. I just started getting violation notices going back to March 2014 for bridge crossings made then. They want $150 because my $10 wasn't paid (according to them...). So, I look at my card charges for the year and none include the payments. Just last month, I made a payment on June 15 for my May travel and I see it's not on my account. I'll assume to get a violations charge for this too now at some point. Has anyone a similar story? I am looking for some peace of mind that I'm not in error, or the only person these up-charges are being assessed for. Do they not get their mail? Do they not process my card number when they get my mail? What? PS getting a human being on the toll-free number at MTA is one of the more difficult tasks to accomplish. Thanks.
