      I believe this is a scam or phishing. I received a Notice of Unpaid ************* It states that I owe $183.00 to The ******** DOT. I've checked my EZ Pass history and could not find a record of the ticket on the Del DOT site. Most importantly, I have never had the license plate ******* MD. I would like to think this is an error but the name on the account is correct. Very suspicious. I have three formal request of the attorneys.- Rescind the invoice - Remove any negative information added to my credit report.- Do not sell any information you have that is associated with my name. I do not authorize any sale of my personal information BBB: I understand that they are not authorized by BBB. At the same time, I do not understand why they have a AAA+ rating when they have so many complaints and so many that claim it's a scam. Maybe you can clarify that for me and others.

      I am responding to the consumer complaint filed with your office by ******************************  Ms. ********* complaint regards an account for unpaid tolls and fees owed to our client, the ******** ********** of ************** (DelDOT).

      Between July 18, 2019 and *********************** recorded two toll violations incurred with ******** license plate *******, registered to ******************************  The first toll notice (0008299288-1) was sent out on September 1, 2019, in the amount of $54.00, the toll amount, and $50.00 in fees. On October 12, 2019, a final notice (0008299288-2) was sent in the amount of $91.50, the previous notice amount, and an additional $37.50 in penalties. For the second toll, a notice (0008439634-1) was sent out on October 3, 2019, in the amount of $54.00,the toll amount, and $50.00 in fees. On November 19, 2019, a final notice (0008439634-2) was sent in the amount of $91.50, the previous notice amount,and an additional $37.50 in penalties. This resulted in the total amount of $183.00 due and owing.  The notices were properly mailed to the address provided by the ******** **************************** (MVA); **** *********.,**********, ** 21207-3818.  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, DelDOT referred the violations to the firm for collection on September 23, 2021.  A letter was mailed to ******************** on October 29, 2021, in the amount of $183.00.  The firm continually tried to reach ******************** and a probable new address was located; ********************************************** 07470.  A letter was sent July 25, 2022.

      Upon receipt of this complaint, we reviewed the account with the client.  Per DelDOT, the debt is valid. The information was provided by the MD MVA.

      I received a letter in the mail on 9/27/22 dated 9/19/22 stating that I owe the ******** DOT $91.50 for an initial **** toll violation that occurred on 4/29/21. There are many issues with this notice:1. There is no photo/video evidence of this claim with no vehicle description 2. The claim states that I traveled through a plaza and lane location with only a 6 digit number listed below it, i was not in ******** on 4/29/21 3. I just purchased a new car in the last 3 months and had to pay any and all toll or ticket fees before I could register my new car with the ***. This bill was never listed In order to register my new car. 4. why am I getting this bill for the first time a year later from the accused violation on 4/29/21. Which apparently accrues admin fees, violent crime, civil penalties fees and more .Due to this, I will NOT be paying this fraudulent claim against my name and I humbly request that this be settled without any more confusion.I also ADVISE ANYONE THAT GETS ANYTHING FROM THIS COMPANY IN THE MAIL TO LOOK INTO IT AS THEY ARE A FRAUDULENT COMPANY looking to gain money from the older generation that do not know any better, shameful and should be reported to a higher authority.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I have looked up the notice number and license plate on DEL DOT website and they have no records of it.

       

      What you said does not appear on official ******** websites

      https://acct.ezpassde.com/NoticeOfToll.aspx

      https://tollbyplate.ezpassde.com/Login.aspx

       

      Please send me proof in the mail that this is actually in DEL DOT records.

       

      You send you included an image of my vehicle but you didn't upload it to BBB

       

       I DISPUTE this because I never received any invoices.  Thats very late to have a toll in august, but they dont send an invoice until december.  I did not live at that address anymore.  I've had all my mail forwarded, including tolls from other states.

       

      This is the first I've heard of the tolls in ********.

      I paid a bill that was slightly past due from ********** EZpass. Unfortunanetly I did not go directly to the EZPass sight to verify bill and just paid it through these people. I paid this bill on August 27, 2022 via debit card and it was never sent to EZpass as I am still receiving bill about it. I spoke to EZPass after waiting on the phone for hours and they have no offiliation with this company and it is a complete scam.

      On August 11th 2022 I paid $91.50 for an alleged toll in ******** for license plate # ******* MD. I received a notice for a similar toll, however the date of the toll is 07/05/21. I traded this vehicle on January 2020 in *****. I was told that I needed to prove that the vehicle license plate doesnt belong to me. That burden of proof resides with Delaware DOT and LGB&S. I expect to receive a notice from LGBS and/or Delaware DOT revoking these charges.

      A law firm has sent me a "second notice" out of the blue stating I owe for ******************** tolls in the amount of $115. I have had an easy pass for years so I should have no other charges and I rarely drive this particular road anyway.I have never received any kind of bill. They are very difficult to contact and when I finally did the clerk said the only way to get proof of the charges was to write a formal letter of request and MAIL it. No email.This smells like a scam. 99% of people would just pay the 115 the first time they hit a road block of having to write and mail a lettle.

      I received a letter from Linebarger Goggan Blair &Sampson claiming that I owe money to Del Dot for unpaid tolls. This is a total scam and false. First I have ez pass. If I went through a toll they would have billed me. I also work remote 4 days a week and these charges are from days I worked from home. And these charges are **** months old. Nice try.

      The complaint requested no 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 21, 2021 and October 28, 2021, DelDOT recorded multiple tolls incurred by a vehicle with ************ license plate ****************** to ************** (Bellezeni).  DelDOT mailed multiple invoices.  DelDOT indicates that the dates of the tolls were as follows:July 22, 2021, August 12 (two tolls) and 19, 2021, September 9, 2021, and October 12, 14, 19, 20, 21, 27 (two tolls), and 28, 2021. Our previous correspondence incorrectly identified the date the tolls were processed by DelDOT as the date the tolls were incurred; the dates in the preceding sentence are the actual dates the tolls were incurred.

      The first invoice (I3628905) was sent by DelDOT on September 16, 2021, in the amount of $1.05, the amount of the toll.  A second invoice (I3816578) was sent on October 16, 2021, in the amount of $2.10, the previous amount, including a new toll.  A third invoice (I4004672) was sent on November 15, 2021, in the amount of $55.25, including previous tolls,new tolls incurred, and a $50.00 fee.  A fourth invoice (I4243567) was sent on December 19, 2021 in the amount of $152.20, the previous amount, new tolls incurred, and additional fees and penalties.  Three final invoices were sent to **************: (I4565145), adding $187.50 in new fees and penalties for a total amount due of $339.70; (I4792452) adding $562.50 in new fees and penalties for a total amount due of $902.20; and (I5023820) adding $337.50 in new fees and penalties for a total amount due of $1239.70 owed. The invoices were properly mailed to the address provided by the ********** of ***** Vehicles (DMV); ************************************************************************************************** 19078.  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 April 21,2022.  The firm continuously attempted to contact ************** to resolve this debt and was able to locate a new address; ******************************************************************* 19078.  A letter in the amount of $1239.70 was mailed to ************** on August 22, 2022, and a second letter was mailed on September 17, 2022.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I have an ez pay MOUNTED in my car and I find it very odd that it registers a payment the day before and the day after the dates listed. Most of the dates listed are Thursdays and I find it odd that my ez pass works wed and friday but not Thursday. I also have not lived at 17 W *********************** for over a year and (when this dates are) I have updated my address with all my accounts yet you mailed it to the wrong address. You claim to have sent many notices I have never received anything regarding this until now. Because if I had I would have reached out to ez pass to make sure there was not an issue with the device since I do commute through tolls. I would like to see a copy of the original documents. And it is Ez Pass that would have reached out me for not paying the tolls. I checked my account just now and there are no outstanding charges because even if they do not process with the device they do send a bill via mail by license plate and that has never ever happened. It would show in the records on my ez pay account.
      Regards,

      Ms.******:

      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 Hillsborough County, ** (Clerk) for Case Nos.: 17-TR-083490; 17-TR-085231;17-TR-096970; 17-TR-083489; 17-TR-026851; and 17-TR-089621 (the Traffic Cases).

      The complaint alleges that there was an issue with a payment submitted by you on August 3, 2022. A review of our records shows that this payment was applied to Case No. 17-TR-085231 rather than Case No.: 17-TR-083490. We have corrected this error and applied the payment to Case No.: 17-TR-083490. The payment has been forwarded to the Clerk.Due to Hurricane ***, there may be a delay in receipt of this payment by the Clerk. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Clerk has cleared your drivers license for reinstatement based on the satisfaction of the balances owed on the Traffic Cases. Please note it may take additional time for the payment to show on the Clerks website. We apologize for the delay and any inconvenience this has caused. Please contact the ************* for questions regarding reinstating your drivers license.

      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 collection letter from this company saying they are trying to collect toll fees and penalty fees for toll in ******** on June 23, 2021. I WASN'T IN ********!! The phone representative told me "your car was". Which is NOT true. I moved to ******* May 31, 2021 and my car has not been out of the state since then. I can prove this. I asked the company to prove to me, via a toll camera, that my car was in ******** on June 23, 2021. I was told I would have to send a letter to them disputing the facts. What is particularly galling about this situation is that several years ago (10+) I had a similar situation with this same collection company. They sent me a similar letter trying to collect toll and penalty fees for a toll charge in a location I was not in AND A CAR I NO LONGER OWNED!! That time, I had proof that the leased car had been turned in YEARS before the alleged toll violation. Therefore, they backed off with an "ooppsss". There is something illegal going on at this company. They are running a scam and I believe the BBB is aware of this. I will not pay a dime. Please help me figure out what kind of scam they are running and how they are doing it. Thank you for your help!

      I am responding to the consumer complaint filed with your office by ******************  ******************* complaint regards an account for unpaid tolls and fees owed to our client, the ******** ********** of ************** (DelDOT).

      On May 29, 2021, DelDOT recorded a toll violation incurred with ***** license plate *******, registered to *****************.  An invoice (I-3141738) was sent out on June 24, 2021, in the amount of $5.60, the toll amount. On July 24, 2021, a second invoice (I-3309300) was sent in the same amount. A third invoice (I-3488764) was sent on August 25,2021 in the amount of $55.60, the toll amount, and $50.00 in fees.  A final invoice (I-3679192) was sent on September 24, 2021, in the amount of $93.10, which included the previous invoice amount, and an additional $37.50 in penalties.  The notices were properly mailed to the address provided by the ********** of ***** Vehicles (DMV); ********************************************************************** 78735.

      As the notices remained unresolved beyond the due dates,DelDOT referred the violations to the firm for collection on April 21,2022.  A letter was mailed to ***************** on August 20, 2022, in the amount of $93.10.  A probable new address was located; *************************************************************************, and a second letter was sent on August 29,2022.

      Upon receipt of this complaint, we reviewed the account with the client.  Per DelDOT, the debt is valid.  DelDOT has included the invoices and images. The current balance due of $93.10 remains due and owing. Our client has stated that should ***************** submit proof that the date the ******* residency was established was prior to the transaction billed on this account, the fees may be waived.

      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.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

      THEY CORRECTED THE **** DATES. If you had the right date to begin with, it would not have been a problem. Also, I never received the previous letters.

       

      Your company is still garbage.
