Defendant is attempting to collect erroneous debt that was fictitious lyk created by their faulty equipment and transponders. All outstanding toll violations have been accepted and paid in full, yet they insist I owe over $3000 in so called “administrative fees” for which they cannot justify or provide me with an itemized description of these charges. I requested verification of debt and itemization multiple times and was not provided this information. By accepting payment of tolls this company agreed to satisfy any outstanding debt. I hereby demand this balance be removed from my account and action be taken against this company for their unfair business practices.Initial Complaint

EZ Pass sent me to collections for a 6 dollar toll. I tried to resolve the issue by paying the toll (on a vehicle that I have an EZ Pass transponder linked to the license plate). They stated that I owed the $50.00 fine as well because it was beyond the 30 day repayment ***** This happens often with EZ Pass. The transponder is not read properly going thru the toll or the transponder is charged and the license plate is not registered (either because its a new vehicle or a new license plate). I have been a customer since 2005. They charge my account $70.00 on a low balance. They have mischarged my account on other tolls associated with vehicles that I do not own. A $50.00 fee is ridiculous on a $6.00 toll. They treat customers poorly and make us beg to have the fee taken off. Meanwhile they precharge us for tolls and up the amount based on our usage. This money is than deducted from the balance and your card is recharged in advance of your usage. I am sure they make money off of the precharges. It is outrageous that I am in collections over a $6.00 charge and it affected my near perfect credit scoore. There should be a limitation to the percentage fee you can charge on a toll while the balance on my account remains in the positive. In the meantime, I have caught fees that are charged to my account, and there is no apology nor reimbursement for the money spent out of my account with an accrual of interest. Absurd. Unethical. Distasteful.Initial Complaint

Ez will not call Me Back. They keep telling me a supervisor will call or sending me to a supervisor and its just a dead end phone line no one picks up. This has been going on for over a month now spending half of a day at time with the same Empty results. The collections calls company calls me daily and I dont want to pay them. I want to pay ezpass directly. They just dont return phone calls and this has gone on too long and taken up way too much time. Im trying to do the right thing and get on track and they are making it impossible.Initial Complaint

I drove on EZ pass tolls in Feb of 2024 for a single weekend trip. My toll bill totalled $40.01 which was mailed to me. I paid the toll of February 29th 2024 using a discover credit card. I saw the text from discover on my phone confirming the purchase. I later got a reminder to pay in April and I paid it again with discover on April 1st 2024 and got the confirmation of the payment via text from discover. Then, I got a violation from EZ pass with $250 of fees applied saying I never paid. I checked my credit card statements and something fishing happened with the payments. I talked to discover directly and they were not able to provide documentation, but did confirm via text that they had record of the attempted payments and said that discover did fully authorize the payments to EZ Pass, but EZ pass did not accept the payment. I tried to refute the claim with EZ pass using the screenshots of the payment confirmations from discover and they claim that is not sufficient documentation. We have been trying to get a hold of a real person with the BBB and it has gone terribly. We have waited on hold for over an hour multiple times and the customer support was not helpful. I am currently in the process of getting a mortgage and DO NOT want my credit to be impacted. I want to pay the original toll and not the late fees.Initial Complaint

$865 was paid to nj Ezpass for tolls they claim went unpaid from 2017. They state the scanner must have not picked up my Ezpass. Now not even a month later they are stating more tolls from 2020 & 2023 are due. This all seems super fishy especially when I have an active Ezpass that is constantly filled with money for tolls.Initial Complaint

My name is ******* and I am a former EZ-pass Customer. I was instructed several months ago to send in a letter in order to close my account. This company told me they received all my devices on **********. However, my account has never been closed out. I had a credit card on file and for the past 5 months, I have been charged $2700. I spoke with a supervisor name ********. I do remember its a ***** Name. She was extremely rude and condescending. Told me I should pay attention to my finances, and its my fault. The credit card I had on file has a $15000 limit. Its an ***************** The audacity of that woman. What would she know about finances? Im sure she had 2-3 kids by 2-3 different men, and no credit.Initial Complaint

On 5/17/24 I received a final toll violation notice from NJ EZPass. I thought this odd as I hadn’t received any prior notices. The letter was dated MARCH 13, 2024. According to the notice, two violation transactions occurred on 1/19/24 involving NJ license plate JUN22C. No photograph of the vehicle or license plate was included in the violation notice. The letter demanded I respond by 3/23/24. This was impossible to do as the respond by date had already passed. This license plate number corresponds to a car that I once owned. I junked this car back in 2012. I no longer have records for this car as I disposed of it 12 years ago. The last time the car had been registered was in 2011. To further complicate matters I neither have an ezpass account nor do I own any ezpass tags. EZPass does not offer an option for someone in my position to respond to a complaint. Since there were no options to respond online via the ezpass website, I sent a letter via **** to EZPass ** *** **** ** *** ***** ******** ** *****. To date I’ve received no reply. I tried calling EZPass several times at ************. I consistently get an automated msg that says EZPass is “experiencing intermittent telephony delays” and that wait time to speak with an agent exceeds 25 minutes. To date I have been unsuccessful in speaking with a human being. I did not incur these toll charges. I do not know how someone acquired the license plates used & I have no way to prove my old car was junked & the plates surrendered. I do not believe it is a reasonable expectation that a person keep records for a car they disposed of 12 years prior. I am writing to ask BBB for assistance in reaching a human being at EZPass and getting this issue resolved. I request from EZPass photos of the car the license plates were attached to at the toll booth & I request the tolls & the administrative charges be waived and that any further collection efforts be stopped. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.Initial Complaint

from 2/16/24 to 3/14/24 a total of 25 toll violations totaling almost $1,000 were sent to us under my wife's license plate. after reviewing the violations we realized that someone took a picture of my wife's temporary dealership plate and was using it to rack up these violations. the car in the picture of the violations was a ford explorer, a car that neither my wife or I have ever owned. we followed the dispute process to the letter, filling out the dispute form for each violation, filing a police report with the south Hackensack police department and attaching the police report to the disputes, and the disputes were denied. The denial letter stated that since the plate AND VEHICLE in question was registered to us, we were responsible. the justification for the denial of the dispute was completely incorrect. the picture clearly shows the vehicle in question is a ford explorer which again, neither of us have ever owned. after long times on hold and finally speaking to someone, 2 separate times i was told that a supervisor wasn't available, and that there was a ticket in the computer for a supervisor to call me back withing 24-48 hours. after a week i got no call. also, when the request was opened to talk to a supervisor, i was assured that while this ticket was open, no further action would be taken with the violations until a supervisor spoke to me. this was either a lie or complete incompetence because after hearing nothing further from ez pass, the violations are now in collections. I am beside myself and dont know what else to do at this point. any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. thank you. the attached photos are just one of the violations as an example as well as the denial letter and the police reportInitial Complaint

I got into a car accident on 3/24/2024. I tried to close my ezpass account online and the website would not let me. I called the phone number online to request closing my account. The representative would not let me close my account over the phone. I told them I do not have a tag and that my car is totaled and would like to close my account. I attempted to reach out to them by mail. They still have not close my account. They allow customers to open an account online and prevent them from closing an account online. They are making a unilateral decision to take money out of my account without my permission and preventing me from closing an account because of inability to return equipment. I am sending another letter requesting that the account be closed. I do not owe money and they had a credit on my account at time I requested account to be closed. Moreover they are still trying to take money from me and refusing to close my account.
