Linebarger Goggan Blair and Sampson LLP are committing mail fraud and extortion. They claim I owe a turnpike toll from 6 years ago and ******** State has people in the toll booths and I paid cash. They claim this is my second notice and I never received a first. If I owes a turnpike charge the turnpike would have contacted me first and if I did not pay I would not be able to renew my car registration or my drivers license.Business Response

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).
On September 19, 2016, a vehicle with ******* license plate ALVNSUE, registered to ***************************,incurred a toll violation on a ******** toll lane. DelDOT mailed a Notice of Toll Violation (0005340242-1) on November 24, 2016. The notice was for $29.00, the amount of the toll incurred and $25.00 in fees. A Final Notice of Toll Violation (0005340242-2) was mailed on January 7, 2017, in the amount of $66.50, the previous amount, and an additional $37.50 in Civil Penalty fees. The notices of violation were properly mailed to the address DelDOT received from the ********** of ***** Vehicles (DMV); ************************************************************************** 19027. 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 7, 2021 in the amount of $66.50. The firm continually tried to contact ************** and a probable new address was located; ****************************************** 32771. A second letter was sent June 8, 2022, followed by another letter sent on August 3, 2022.
Upon receipt of this complaint, we reviewed the account with our client. Per DelDOT, the charges on this account are valid. DelDOT has included an enlarged image of the vehicle,as well as the notices, that were sent to the address per the DE DMV database. The amount of $66.50 remains due and owing.

I ask for your help in resolving a Delinquent Tax issue on some oil property that we sold back in 2017 to ******* Royalties. At the time, my siblings received confirmation that the issue had been resolved. To the best of my knowledge, we no longer own any property in ****** County, *****. In fact, we recently received a TRANSFER ORDER [effective 6-1-2020] on this property that shows it went from the ****** Siblings, to ******* Royalties, and then to Momentum Minerals Operating LP. We each sold our interests in their entirety on September 14, 2017 with an effective sale date of September 1, 2017 to ******* Royalties, LP. *******************, Managing Member of ******* Royalties, LP.The Warranty Deed included: 640 acres, (more or less), of *****************************************************, ************************ Survey.The closing was performed by ************ and Permian ***************** Services.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.I do want to clarify that we sold this property October, 2017 and one of the false tax bills was from 2019. The response from Linebarger et al doesn't include any dates. So I assume everything is resolved for all years and we will never hear from them again. Thank you for your help!

Received a "Notice of Unpaid ************* for the second time from this law firm. The first time we just paid all associated "fines." This time I seen local news and reviews on the BBB site regarding this. Both times I never received any letters informing us of a toll that was missed. We have an active EZPass, so this shouldn't have been an issue. It was a $1.00 toll that is now $88.50. The last time this occurred I had questioned about the tolls and "photos" of vehicles that are taken at toll plazas. I was told that this law firm doesn't get those items from DELDOT. I would think that they would need such things for evidence, especially if this goes to court! This is an unprofessional way to do business. I will be fighting this by all means possible.Business Response

I received a letter June 2022 dated May 31, 2022, from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP. This letter is titled NOTICE OF UNPAID TOLLS AND FEES..VIOLATION 5106800...TRIP DATE JULY 23, 2016...PLAZA AND LANE LOCATION NEWARK-40...TOLLS ARE $4.00...ADMIN FEE $25.00...VOL. AMB...$0.00...THE CIVIL PENALTY IS $25.00...CIV PEN SURG $12.50...TOTAL DUE $66.50. This is FRAUD...This law firm has managed to get my license plate number from DelDOT / EzPASSMD and send me a fraudulent **** to access my money and account information. There is no **** owed to DelDOT. If this were the case, my PASS would have been "RED FLAGGED/SUSPENDED with several violations and numerous letters requesting their money. My account with EzPass is current. There is no way DelDOT would send a **** for a $4.00 charge from *************************** the year 2022. When EzPASS was called, they had no information and they referred me to DelDOT. When DelDOT was called for proof of driving through a toll on this date - they had no information. They said there is a **** and they could not provide proof...they said it was not available. REALLY????? When I attempted to review my own account, you cannot view past 2017...really suspicious and convenient that they choose a year that cannot be investigated by the customer. Please investigate these companies because this does not add up to be a valid charge and I am NOT sending them any money. If DelDOT has an issue, they need to fix it and stop attacking innocent people. There is no evidence of this - anytime you go through a toll - there is a picture with your license number and car, **************. DelDOT nor EzPASS cannot provide. Again, please investigate this for I WILL NOT PAY THIS FRAUDULENT ****. It seems this law firm is not registered with BBB; however, I really hope there is something you can do to help the consumer.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:My address has been updated with the **** since 2014. How is it that all other mail received from EZPASS has been received and not this one **** charge that has been escalated to over ***** dollars? When and if we traveled to ******** - we use our EZPASS. How come this charge was not passed through to EZPASS? In addition, you mention that you have proof and I have none. You were very diligent in sending me a **** in 2022 but it has no proof.
This charge really concerns me because I am not the only one with this same or similar complaint. Where and why are you sending me a **** for a charge DelDOT has put on my automobile years later with penalties. The address was updated and the appropriate parties notified. I still feel this is fraudulent. I tell you what else is suspicious...as a consumer, I cant even review my **** or pictures online for the the toll in question. How terribly ironic is that???? This needs to be reversed and written off - again, no one has provided me proof and I cant review the ****. This is a waste of manpower and time on both ends. I have no problem paying MY tolls but I will not pay the tolls of someone else. More importantly, I cant even review my **** for that year. I am sure if I could review my **** from EZPASS, it would settle this dispute.

In response to ****************** rejection of our response to her complaint, the firm offers the following:
The evidence of the transaction was sent to ****************** twice. The firm included it in our response to her complaint, and our client has also sent ****************** a copy of the original notice sent along with an image of the plate on her vehicle. Our client reports that there is no online information to review.
At the time of the transaction, no transponder read occurred, and when the plate image was reviewed, it was not a plate included on an active **ZPass account. Therefore, the **ZPass could not be used for billing this transaction.
****************** further insists that a **** forwarding service should have resulted in her receipt of the billing notice. Any use of mail forwarding is irrelevant to the statutes directing the client to use the registered address of the vehicle at the time of the toll transaction for its mailing. The MD MVA reported the address to which the billing notice was sent,properly. If ****************** also updated the registration address prior to the transaction date of July 23, 2016, she can submit a record of the registration and our client will waive the fees on the account. However, it the owners responsibility to update the address on a vehicles registration, and without evidence that this was done, the billing was properly sent.
We trust that this information will allow the Bureau to resolve this matter.Initial Complaint

I received a notice from this from indicating that I had unpaid ************* The letter stated that this was the second notice - I never received a "first" notice.The letter indicates that I had received two toll violations dated 6/4/2021. My vehicle was not driven from May to October of 2021, so I believe this notice to be fraudulent. I have attempted to contact this firm over a dozen times to no avail.

There is no proof provided of the violation and when I searched the Violation ID in the DelDOT system the system did not return a violation fitting the information provided. Seeking dismissal of this notice.Business Response
