  We received a demand letter on 11/11/22 from this law firm seeking to collect alleged unpaid tolls and fees for the ***********. The letter alleges we used the *********** plazas on 7/1/20 and 7/5/20 for license plate ******* (OH) and assigned us client code PATLPTPK1. We never received a bill from the *********** for these charges, and further, we have an EZ-Pass, so the tolls should have been charged to our EZ-Pass account. Further, the notice we received states we owe $60.80, when the tolls at most could not have been more than $15...We further do not appreciate the strong-arm tactics used by this firm in their letter. For example, the notice states that they may suspend or withhold renewal of our license if we do not pay in full. It also gives a phone number to pay by credit card, which feels like an outright scam. The letter asks for immediate payment as if it is a final notice too, but we have never been contacted by the *********** before we got this letter. These demands feel like a complete scam and are likely based on inaccurate records from the state. We won't be paying, especially because we believe tolls have already been paid 2 years ago. We ask that this law firm adjust our "bill" to $0, delete our information from its system, and cease contacting us.

  *************** to the consumer complaint filed with your office by *******************************, on behalf of ******** ***********************.  ********************** complaint regards an account for unpaid tolls and fees owed to our client, the ******************************** (PTC).
  
  The complaint requested no further contact from the Firm, so this response is submitted to just the BBB, and not to the complainant. The BBB is, of course, welcome to share this response with the complainant.
  
  Between July 1, 2020 and July 5, 2020, PTC recorded two toll violations incurred by a vehicle with **** license plate *******, registered to ********************. PTC mailed multiple violation invoices.  The last past due invoice (103570805-2) for both tolls, was sent on September 24, 2020, in the amount of $40.80, $17.90 for each toll, and $5.00 in fees.  The invoices were mailed to the address provided by the ********** of ***** Vehicles (DMV);718 **************. Unit B, ************, ** 43952-1484.  Please note that the addresses used for these mailed notices are based on DMV records and it is the responsibility of the registered owner to keep the address up to date.
  
  When no further response was received, a $20.00 Collection Fee was added, and the account was referred to the firm for collection on March 23, 2022.  The firm mailed a letter on June 14, 2022, in the amount of $60.80.  The firm continually tried to reach ******************** and a probable new address was located; **************************************************** 15090.  A letter was sent on November 1, 2022.  No response was received directly by the firm.
  
  Upon receipt of this complaint, we reviewed the account with the client.  Per PTC, this debt is valid, as no payment was ever received by a valid E-ZPass or otherwise.   PTC has provided the invoices and vehicle images for this debt.  The balance of $60.80 remains due and owing.
  
  Please accept the above information as our response to the complaint.   We trust that this information will be sufficient to allow for resolution of the complaint.   In the event additional information is desired or necessary, please let us know.

  I am rejecting this response because the company still has not shown sufficient cause for why the tolls were not processed by EZ Pass, which we had active on that car. We will pay $25, which is the adjust price for the tolls once the EZPass rate is added, but we will not pay any late or collection fees due to you inability to locate us. Our records should have shown our current address, and we should have received any letter in 2020, not two years later. Please advise if $25 is acceptable. Otherwise, we wont contact further.

  As noted in our previous response, we reviewed the account with the ********************* and they confirmed the balance of $60.80 remains due and owing.  The offer of $25.00 was not accepted.  Also, per the turnpike, no payment was ever received by a valid E-ZPass or otherwise. Finally, as previously stated, the turnpike properly mailed their notices to the registered address provided by the **** DMV. It is the responsibility of the registered owner to keep the address up to date.
  
  We consider this matter closed.

  I have a letter from this company regarding an alleged amount due of $374 for a court case/fee dated 9/2/2017 that does not exist any longer, or has not existed at all. The case was searched for and nothing was found. I believe this letter was sent with fraudulent intention to collect money from anyone willing to pay. The letter sent is dated 10/18/2022. So this could not have been an old fee that *** have been forgotten about. Reason being that I have absolutely no court fees due anywhere, in any amount.

  I am rejecting this response because: I have checked the citation number that they have on file on the website they stated to check. There was NO record of any citation. Furthermore, I had recently applied for a job that required a background check, which included a check for any kind of court citations, and nothing was found. So I know 100% that I owe NO court fees. This is an error on their part. They should check again what is owed. I refuse to accept their claim that I owe fees.

  The EZpass car tag issue to me was accepted by some but not all tolls during one round trip visit from ** to central ** from 8-5-22 to 8-8-22 resulting in unpreventable administrative fees being issued to me initially from EZpass/******************* Authority and now their collections attorney. All actual toll fees have been paid in full during the excessive **** hours spent on the phone primarily on hold with EZpass. The remaining exorbitant $100 administrative fees were sent to Linebarger ****** ************************************************ LLP collections department: violations (T *************** and T ***************). I made every reasonable attempt to avoid unnecessary fees beginning with my voluntarily acquiring an easy pass car tag then by spending hours of time on the phone in an attempt to pay for the tolls that were in question only because the car tag easy pass provided was accepted at some but not all tolls in root. This was not an issue of insufficient funds as my account with easy pass permits them to acquire funds directly from a still current credit card as needed. I made a series of phone calls too easy pass to conclude these transactions as I received the violation notices in the mail and spent over three hours primarily on hold as they continually accused me of being at fault. Two of the four total violation notices were excused, two valued at $50 each remain open. It is unacceptable I should be charged hundreds of dollars of administrative fees when the device provided to me was accepted only at every other toll plaza.

  I received a "Notice of Delinquent Fees or Fines" from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP. Indicating I have a violation and must pay a fine of $292.00 for failure to appear. Not only was not correct, I have absolutely no prior notice of such case or violation against me. After reading similar after similar negative scenarios this law firm has afflicted on other consumers, I am confused how they are able to continue with business as usual. I have yet to receive a notice from the law firm indicating they have made a mistake.

  Received a letter from this random firm saying I owe $94.50 for a red light offense in ********, ** that happened back on 11/20/2017. So why is this the first time I'm hearing of it? I've lived at my current address for over five years so you would think that if this firm is sending out multiple notices, I would have gotten one before this one. I've paid all my fines before so this is ridiculous and they haven't even offered any proof of this "redlight offense" to me or that they've tried to contact me before this random letter arrived. In trying to verify on my own via the ******** Redlight website the Citation number provided to me by the lawyer's letter is not the same as the notice number that would allow me to see photo or video proof of said incident and how much the ticketed offense was originally. I'm well aware how ********'s citation system works unfortunately, and I've paid my fair share into the crappy city. What I'm taking issue with is the lack of communication with me and then punishing me for it by, what I can only assume, is charging interest on a debt that was unknown to me. I ain't no fancy lawyer person so $94.50 is 'n awful lot o' dollars for me. I have no problem paying the initial amount of the offense but will not pay interest on a debt I didn't know I owed. It's criminal and I wont be paying said debt without actual, non-circumstantial proof (you can't just type my address and a convenient date) that an attempt to contact before this was made and a financial breakdown of the amount owed is sent to me. You clearly have my address now.

  I received a collection letter from this company stating for Violation of promise to appear and they're collecting for the superior court with the this case no D290229 from 6-17-2015 doesn't state what city this was case was allegelly located in and I have put in the case number under Civil and other and nothing comes up. I didn't violate any case order I answer all my civic duty calls. I want to know more information on where this is coming from this stating it will hold my taxes from 2015 this has suddenly appeared. I am sick of these vuluturist law firm going after bogus collections to make money. I want this removed out of my name ****, if no proof is shown from a court that this is a legimate matter. I want a letter written to me stating this has been removed out of my name.

  *************** to the consumer complaint filed with your office by ************************* ******. Ms. ******* complaint regards an account owed to our client, the County of Los Angeles Superior Court.
  
  We reviewed the account with our client after receiving the complaint. The Court verified that $291.99 is currently due for case no.#D290229. **************** was issued a citation for making a U-Turn in a business district on June 17, 2015. **************** signed the citation, promising to appear in court on August 3, 2015. **************** failed to appear and a $300 Civil Assessment was added to the amount due for a Bail Amount of $930. On September 14, 2015, **************** appeared at a Court Arraignment. $551 fine was assessed and due by December 14, 2015, which included a $30 Extension Fee and a $4.01 Warrant Fee. Defendant failed to pay and a $300 Civil Assessment fee was added back to the $551 fine. A copy of the citation signed by **************** and court orders are attached.
  
  On September 23, 2016, **************** made a payment of $135. On December 17, 2016, **************** made a payment of $90. Due to legislation, the Court is no longer collecting the $4.01 Warrant Fee, $30 Extension Fee, and $300 Civil Assessment. After credits for payments and the non-collectible fees, *************** still owes the Court $291.99.

  I am rejecting this response because: I will contact the courts on this matter I iwll not pay this collection firm a cent, I wanted it noted for public record that they're picking up cases from 2015 to make money from cases that has been written off already. I do not accept that I had this fine, I don't remember this at all I will not pay this and will fight them further. BBB you can close the file...
