  This firm sent me a collection notice from a traffic violation that NEVER OCCURRED in *********** dated over seven years ago. I checked with the court and case number they cited and there is no record of the case. I can only assume that Linebarger, Goggan, Blair and Sampson are involved in some kind of Phishing scheme and sending out 7 year old claims that cant be verified seems to be evidence of that.

  I received this collection notice on November 1st 2022 and it states the fees are due on October 25th 2022 for a Red signal vehicle, 1st problem I have with this notice is I received it 1 week past due from the due date and 2nd none of my vehicle plate information is included on this notice. I own 2 vehicles, what vehicle is the violation for and what date was the violation comited? I would like proof of a photograph with me in the driver seat, once I receive this documentation I will have my attorney review them and contact your firm. On this letter I received shows no vehicle information so please for future reference at least include the vehicle information to avoid any confusion. I will be waiting for your response, thank you.

  Received violation for 2014 metro train violation of use without ticket. Showed in court and officer did not appear. **** was dismissed and I was informed there was nothing more I need to do. I haven't received anything from the courthouse since 2014, other than a blue piece of paper stating case dismissed.Yet on 10.21.22 I received a collections notice from Linebarger Goggan *********************************************** with an inflated amount due of $560.00. I telephoned to inquire what this was for and they directed to me to court house. I telephoned the courthouse as well as searched online- they have no case for **** am extremely frustrated since this was dismissed back in 2014 and to have this notice come without any prior attempts for over eight years is unsettling. I have not changed residence and would have seen something come sooner.

  I received a Notice of Intent to Intercept Filing from the Linebarger ************************************************ LLP attorney at Law for a pass due collection of a moving violation back in 2019. I tried calling the law firm to get details of this moving violation as do not remember ever getting a ticket for a red light at any time and every time I call they place me on hold for a long time or don't answer or pass me on another number that does not pick-up. They claim the ticket is from 9/13/19 and the case number is CA79475 and describe the violation as VC21453 (C)-I RED ARROW VEHICULAR. CASE number 52362043.Charge: $490.00 There are too many questions that make think this is a scam, particularly when I read of so many other people complaining about this law firm. Is this a legit charge, or law firm? How can I stop them from all the harassments and threats.

  ***************** trying to collect fines and fees for a jurisdiction where I don't live and have never been. Involves case #********lcx in Pinellas county ******* for a camera instituted violation. Amount is $358.75. They threaten my credit for something that is not me or anyone I know.

  *********************:
  
  On behalf of Linebarger Goggan Blair &Sampson, LLP (Firm), I am responding to the complaint filed with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) in regard to the Firms collection efforts on behalf of the Clerk of Court for Pinellas County, ** (Clerk) for Case No. 13007790LCX (the Traffic Case). Upon receipt of this complaint, we placed the Traffic Case in a stop work status for review.
  
  The Firm represents the Clerk in the collection of delinquent court fees and fines. The Clerk forwarded the Traffic Case to our Firm as payment obligations related to this case have become delinquent. 
  
  The Traffic Case stems from a ******* Uniform Traffic Citation being issued in your name in accordance with ******* Statute Section ******** based on your alleged failure to stop at a red light in violation of ******* Statute Section *******. Pursuant to ******* Statute Section ********(1)(c), a traffic citation for failing to stop at a red light is issued by mailing the traffic citation to the address of the registered owner of the motor vehicle. In the case of joint ownership of a motor vehicle, the traffic citation is mailed to the first person appearing on the registration. Fla. Stat. ********(c)(1)(c) (2022). I have enclosed a copy of this citation for your review. According to court records, the citation appears valid as there is no decision of the Pinellas County Court rendering the citation invalid. We have also confirmed with the Clerk that the obligation is still outstanding. I would encourage you to view the video footage and photos of the incident available online. The website is www.ViolationInfo.com, and the login information in the form of the notice number and pin number are located on the upper right-hand side of the enclosed citation.
  
  Unfortunately, the Firm does not have the authority to modify the outstanding obligation related to the Traffic Case or to transfer the liability for the citation.  However, if you would like to dispute the citation and/or request a transfer of the liability for the citation, you will need to file an affidavit as described in ******* Statute Section ******** and request a hearing with the Pinellas County Court. As a courtesy, the Firm has placed this account in a stop work status in the Firms system for a period of 90 days to provide you with an opportunity to dispute the citation or to attempt to reassign liability.  By placing your account in a stop work status, the Firm will cease collection efforts during this time.However, please note that all enforcement mechanisms will remain in place during this time unless the Pinellas County Court alters the legal status of the citation.
  
  I hope this is enough to satisfy your inquiry.  Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at ************.
  
  Best Regards,
  
  *************************, Esq.

  I received a letter from this company claiming $81.37 worth of "past due" bills. They are collecting on behalf of a toll company in ********. I have never been to ******** nor do I own a vehicle with the license plate ******. They are stating this will affect me getting a registration for my car. I would like this claim removed ASAP they state they need proof via mail. I have no way of providing proof that I am not associated with that license.

  I received a letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP on October 30, 2022. This letter states that I owe a debt with ********* River Tunnels for unpaid tolls and that they had previously sent me a letter informing me of this. For starters, I have never received a letter or I would have disputed it then, and even though this letter includes my license plate number, it does not include a date as when I supposedly entered the ********* River Toll, nor did it include a copy of my license plate; which are all required when trying to states someone used a toll! I have never been through this ********* River Tunnel and even if I had....$64.30 toll fee? This is clearly a scam and I want it shut down immediately!

  *************** to the consumer complaint filed with your office by ************************  Ms. ****** complaint regards an account for unpaid tolls and fees owed to the ********* River Tunnels (ERT).
  
  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.
  
  Upon receipt of this complaint, we reviewed the account with our client.  Per ERT, the charges were valid.  ************** made a payment after the due date, which led to additional fees being added to the account.  As a one-time courtesy, ERT has waived both fees, leaving a $0.00 balance.
  
  Please note that the firm does not credit report on behalf of any of its clients.

  I am active duty military previously stationed in ***** **. There is a toll i used to regularly use (BIDDLES40) which cost one dollar. While I lived in ***** I had 5 toll violations all within about a month, 2019/06/13 till 2019/07/06 totalling $8.50. **I have had no notice of said tolls** . I have had orderes to serve in ***** ***** starting 01/2020, and finally get the second notice today 2022/10/31. This has remained unpaid, and fees tacked on for years without my knowlege or any hope to provide my side of the argument. Now, what was a toll less than $10 has turned into them demanding an exorbitant $440. I understand paying high fees as penalties for toll violations, but this is outragious.

  *************** to the consumer complaint filed with your office by **************************  Mr. ****** complaint regards an account for unpaid tolls and fees owed to our client, the ******** ********** of ************** (DelDOT).
  
  Between June 13, 2019, and September 20, 2019, DelDOT recorded eleven tolls incurred by a motorcycle with ******** license plate *******, registered to **************************  DelDOT mailed multiple Notices and Final Notices on September 26, 2019 and November 19, 2019 respectively. DelDOT indicates that the dates of the tolls were as follows: June 13, 14, and June 22, 2019, as well as July 4, and 6, 2019. The notices were properly mailed to the address provided by the ********** of ***** Vehicles (DMV); ********************************************************, Dover, ** 19901-2246.  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.
  
  As the notices remained unresolved beyond the due dates,****** referred the delinquent tolls and fees to the firm on September 24,2021.  A letter was mailed on October 21, 2021, in the amount of $446.00.  The firm continuously attempted to contact ************** to resolve this debt and was able to locate a new address; PSC 78 **********************************; A letter was mailed to ************** on June 22, 2022, and another letter was mailed on August 13, 2022, both in the amount of $446.00. No response was ever received by the firm.
  
  Upon receipt of this complaint, we reviewed the account with the client.  Per DelDOT, the debt is valid.  As such, the current balance due of $446.00 remains due and owing.  ************** stated he was deployed out of the country in January 2020, after the dates of the transactions (11 tolls between June 13, 2019, to September 20, 2019) and the notices mailed by ****** (September 26, 2019 and November 19, 2019).  It should be noted that no additional amounts owed were incurred after Mr. ****** deployment in 2020.
  
  ************** continued to use E-ZPass express lanes without an E-ZPass.  In order to support a dispute regarding the registered address,************** will need to show documentation of his vehicle registration at the time the tolls were incurred.  Note that all violations were sent to the address, ***********************************************************************************, with the exception that the last seven of the total eleven violations were sent without including the apartment number.  Those seven violations can be re-issued to a current address, at which time ************** will only be eligible to appeal one of the violations at the balance of the toll only, and the other six violations will be reverted to the value set in the first notice (the toll plus the $50 fee) and would remain due in full.  The remaining four tolls remain due and owing at the current amount owed.  
  
  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.

  Complaint: 18335774
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  *** DOT, despite having the correct address on file, still mailed the violations to the incorrect address (a incomplete address). Of which I had no idea there were more violations, above the four that I had origionally complained about. Additionally, of the origional toll fee, the "violations mark up" is OVER FIVE THOUSAND PERCENT. It is insanity to ask so much from so little as I cannot accept that is what is due. I moved from **** N ****** hwy around Dec 2018, so I never had the chance to pay the toll with the additional fee. I received notification of moving out of the country around May 2019. So naturally, updating the address at the time was not relevant. I should be granted the oppertunity to pay the origional toll with fee. I am filing this complaint in good faith as I do intend to pay, because a toll violation was commited. However, being blindsided a couple years down the road, in a foreign county with all time high inflation, while deployed, is not a good way to do business. I even missed the window for the AMNISTY PROGRAM, of which I would have qualified and easily paid any fees HAD I KNOWN OF THEM****. All toll violations need to be reassessed.

  I had received another letter from this law firm claiming I have delinquent court fines from ***********************. I received the same letter last year and had ignored it since I had moved out of state July 2018 and had never gone to ******* while I was living in **. This was for a supposed traffic cam violation but I had never received anything before about this while I was still living in WA and I had my ************** when I relocated. I also contacted *********************** last year when I received the initial letter to inquire about this and gave them my name along with license plate number and make and model of my car. They told me there was no record of anything. So I considered the letter from this business to be a complete scam. The contact needs to stop since they have clearly either gotten the wrong information for someone with the same name or is a scam business.
