      I was falsely charged $24.99, and I have no reason why. I have no business with any court systems, no finest or tickets. I've not driven a car in over a year. So could someone please tell me how they got my information and what this charge is for?

      Date: 02/28/2024

      We are attempting to locate this payment; however, will require a few more details to track and investigate the individual payment. 

      Could the consumer provide:

      1. The payment type ************ Mastercard, Discover, etc.)?

      2. The last 4 digits only of the card used for payment verification purposes?

      I accidentally paid my citation twice. The ncourt fee is $24. I paid the citation $338.75 plus $24 fee for or a total of $362.75. However trying to correct a typo error I hit the back button and was charged twice in the amount of $725.50 two citation amounts and two service fees. I was reimbursed for one citation fee ($338.75)but not the duplicate service fee. I was told by the court magistrate that they dont have anything to do with the service fees that ncourt charges. ncourt emailed me and stated I have to contact the court. Im at a standstill of where to go, so I thought I would give the bbb a shot. This is not right to take advantage of my error when I made a mistake by hitting the back button on my phone. This is more about principle than money. Thank you

      Wife paid a traffic ticket via Ncourt for ***** with a 5 dollar service charge in October 2022. 13 months later she was notified she did not pay the full amount of the charge, which is now claimed to be 167 and change. Ncourt's own website says a partial payment is not possible. This means additional charges were later added under false pretense.

      Business Response

      Date: 11/29/2023

      This payment is associated with a traffic citation payment made by ********************************* that was processed to the Okaloosa County Circuit Court, ** on 10/13/2022. The payment was submitted on 10/11/2022 at 8:31 am with the amount $95.50 and nCourts processing fee of $5.00. Per our records, it appears that cardholder did not interact with a representative from the merchant but entered the payment online instead.  Before a payment can be submitted through our online systems, the payer has to agree to our terms agreement and provide information associated with the card being used. Document with transaction details attached shows an exact AVS match for address and postal code. nCourt has provided services in full.

      Complaint: 20931733

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The initial payment was for, supposedly, the incorrect amount, which was the amount displayed by Ncourt. Ncourts site says partial payments are not accepted, yet 13 months later an additional 67 dollars and another 5 dollar fee was charged. This also resulted in threat of license suspension by local police department, who claimed that payment was only made in part initially. But, as I pointed out, Ncourt does not accept partial payments.

      Sincerely,

      nCourt works as a payment processor for Brewster County Justice of the Peace JP2 and hasn't passed on my payment to the local government. I paid a month ago and am still not eligible to renew my license because of their payment being in limbo. I'm essentially being held hostage with no recourse and have a line of people who say they can't do anything. Meanwhile my entire life is crippled with no reasonable of economical form of transportation. It's extremely unacceptable.

      Attached is the payment record of a citation payment paid to Brewster County Justice of the Peace JP2 by *********************** on 10/13/2023 for the total amount of $338.00 with a processing fee of $16.90. nCourt has provided payment in full to Brewster County Justice of the Peace JP2 on 10/16/23 per the reconciliation and payment confirmation attached.
      Per the reconciliation, the total deposit to Brewster County Justice of the Peace JP2 for 10/16/2023 is $654.01 which included ****************** payment below.

      I received a ticket 10/05/23 and have periodically checked the online portal. Twice within the first week and once each week for a month. Each time seeing a message to wait up to 14 from the date of the citation. I had called someone? (She mumbled her name) Via the number on the site and she had given me vague hope of what I could owe and that it could be up soon(This was after waiting 14 days). All of that to say, someone on ncourts end does in fact have the information about the charge, and yet it doesnt appear on my end to pay OR to tell me that it must be answered in person. Even if I cant pay through the ncourt portal, the fact that I cant be given an answer from the portal or a person is poor practice. Id honestly rather not request a day from work so Ive held off waiting for an update. I dont care if I pay in person or online but my options are obfuscated due to poor practice or processing and Id like to know which. Im not concerned with how much, I just want to know the status, if it is being held up by the county, or if Ive been forgotten about. The reason for the ticket will be addressed well before the date I need to appear.

      On April 10,2023 I went into ******** Tn courts to pay my sons ticket being that it was the last day to pay it. I was headed out of town so I needed to get it taken care of quickly. I used a card to pay the ticket. The girl at the desk stated that the payment did not go through on her end . I told her it went through on my end . She still continued to tell me no. I swiped my card again another time and my card did nothing. She stated nothing in her end also. So due to ******** being so ruthless with warrants and the girl taking the payment saying it still didnt show up . I tried to check my account. **************** was not good so that was unsuccessful. The girl behind the desk said there was an ATM machine in the building and I could use it and pay cash. I did. Got a receipt and went on about my business. The next day I checked my card and there was that payment that she said didnt go through just as clear as day. Called ******** courts stated they would issue a refund with NCourts kept telling me allow **** days . It is now April 29th,2023 and I have yet to get a refund . Ncourt sends me to ******** Tn courts , ******** Court sends me to Ncourt . They are saying the refund applied to that card was unsuccessful ok so whats next I have talked to everyone everyone ************ was someone at Ncourt named ******* ext but no refund ******** courts lady says she has reached out to accounting that was April 25th still havent heard a word. Im angry no one seems to want to refund my 106.09$ !!!! Im not rich I have nothing to give the government. If this is not resolved I will seek exposing this company to the public on a public platform. I want my money now . Ive been patient .

      On March 20, 2023 at 2:34pm I paid for my speeding ticket in full. I made an electronic payment in the amount of $236.47. I did NOT make another payment for anything nor did I authorize any charges to be made at any time after I paid my ticket in full. I have attached my receipt for that payment. I also have an email response from someone from ******* that states my case has been paid in full and closed. That individual also attached a copy of the screen docket for my records and information to that email. I have also attached a copy of that screen docket that was sent to me from *******. I do not have any other tickets and there should never have been another charge after March 20, 2023 when I paid my ticket in full. As I stated previously I did not authorize any charges after that date. It appears they saved my payment information and reused it to make this charge of $54.99 that I did not authorize.

      Complaint: 19976506

      I am rejecting this response because: The attachments will show my receipt I received from ncourt on March 20, 2023 when I paid my speeding ticket in full for $236.47. I have no other tickets to pay for so there is no reason why ncourt would charge me $54.99. I never authorized that payment, it was made one month after I paid my ticket. I believe ncourt kept my credit card information and charged it in the amount of $54.99 without my consent. I also have a copy of the screen docket I received in an email from ncourt that shows my case has been paid in full and is now closed. In addition I have an email from ncourt that states my case has been paid in full and is closed. There should have never been any charges after I paid the $236.47 on March 20, 2023. I feel ncourt has inappropriately used my card information and have stolen $54.99 from me. When I reached out to ncourt via email their response was of no help and I have been unable to reach anyone via telephone thus far.

      Sincerely,
