    Date Occurred 3/27/2025
    Amount $95.55
    Issue: Duplicate Charges
    I transported a customer in my vehicle who was using her own EZ-Pass Transponder provided by her employer for use in rideshare vehicles. I also have my own personal EZ-Pass account that is linked with my vehicle and license plate. We went through the EZ-Pass lanes using her transponder and she was charged $95.55. The issue is I was also charged the exact same amount of $95.55 to my account which they used my license plate to attain my information. I tried contacting their customer support and provided them with information showing the duplicate statements of the customer and myself, but they wouldn't offer any solutions to the issue. I am requesting that the charge on my account is removed and a refund issued.

    *********** rented us a vehicle due to an car accident from **********. We rented the vehicle from April 2, 2025 to April 25, 2025. During the rental period, the rental vehicle was added to my acocunt; however, according to EZ-Pass VA, the vehicle was not removed until May 14, 2025. When I returned the vehicle, I took the transponder out from the renal, and to my recollection, I did remove the vehicle.

    About two weeks again, I started seeing toll charges on my account, and the toll was attached to the license plate and not the transponder (what is the purpose of the transponder if EZ-pass bill directly to an account). I was charged a total of $40.05 during the period of 4/26 to 5/14. EZ-pass, as always, giving everyone the same standard response that no one had read during signing up for the pass. If you need driver to place the transponder in the car, then why would you bill the account when the responder is not on the vehicle?

    EZ-Pass asked for the rental agreements multiple times, multiple emails going back and forth since they can't find my account (when I provide them with my account#, vehicle information, email address). Took about two weeks before getting a standard response stating you are responsible for all tolls from vehicle from your account. If I register one vehicle on two different account, will they be double charging both accounts. EZ-Pass should have sent ********** the toll charges so they could forward them to the respective customers who rented the vehicle during that period of time.

Not all toll roads link tolls back by the license plate. For those that do, no, both accounts would not be charged. Once the system links the license plate to an account, the toll gets paid that account and the system no longer searches for an account with that license plate.Kind Regards,******* ******Customer Service Supervisor

    EZ Pass VA has been entirely unwilling to take any action to resolve a situation in which tolls were improperly charged to my account from and old rental car. The situation, as I have explained it to EZ Pass, is as follows. I had spoken to an agent to have a rental car added to my account during a 3 day rental. I was unaware that the car would remain on my account indefinitely unless I took further action to remove it. A month later, tolls began to accrue to my account from that rental car. I reported this to EZ Pass to dispute the tolls and have it removed from the account. A month after that, additional charges accrued. I again reported the situation to EZ Pass and did succeed in removing the license plate from my account. However, in the weeks after removal, additional prior tolls continued to accrue. I have contacted EZ Pass VA on multiple occasions and, at their request, provided a copy the rental agreement showing that I had returned the car. They have continued to refer to the User Agreement and insist that I am responsible for all charges to vehicles on my account even if those charges came after my request to removal the vehicle and my providing information on the registered owner of the vehicle.

    Hello, Thank you for following up on this case. I have reviewed EZ Pass VA's response, which I appreciate. However, I have previously sent the rental car contract to the email address provided in their response. I provided this information to them on June 3, at the request of an agent a spoke to on the phone. To date, I have received no acknowledgement that this information was received, but instead been told the dispute "cannot be processed" and redirected to PA Turnpike. Kind regards,***

    I have been going back and forth between ***** ****** at New Jersey and ******* ***** with EZ pass va. I received two toll violations from South Jersey Transportation Authority. I contacted SOUTH JERSEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY and ***** ****** told me that he cannot help me. He told me to go to ez pass va where I was registered. Spoke with ******* and she pointed back and *****. Then when ***** refused to help, I went back to ******* and she directed me to NJ Management office. They said nope can't help you either.

    I reached out to ******* AGAIN yesterday because I'm going in circles. The only response she got from ***** was to send in the violations, with payment. I already sent in the violations with the direction that ***** provided and that never was received. Why am I going to do that again? There is a very large and clear disconnect with NJ and how your ez pass operates. I tried to report NJ Ez pass on BBB and no one responds. Shocker there. No one responds anywhere. It is impossible to get any answers with EZ PASS.

    Please refer to the attachments from both ***** and ******* and someone explain to me why this is such a nightmare to resolve.

    I have reviewed the response offer made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

    Is there a reason ***** kept telling me to speak with EZ pass VA and ******* kept telling me to go to EZ pass NJ? She then told me when I couldn't reach anyone, to contact NJ Management and that was incorrect. It seems like there is a HUGE disconnect with EZ pass customer service. When one doesn't have an answer, they point fingers at the other. It is impossible to get proper customer service. Yes, there are tons of emails in relation to this subject, but it should not take 5 weeks and constant back and forth. This should have been resolved immediately, but I cannot make someone help me. The purpose of customer service is to help and not send the customer elsewhere in circles.

    Regards,

    I’m filing a formal complaint against E-ZPass due to poor customer service and unfair toll violation charges totaling $50. I’ve been a long-time E-ZPass user with an account in good standing. After purchasing a new vehicle in November 2024, I continued using my existing transponder. At that time, their policy stated it wasn’t mandatory to list a license plate if the transponder was active. Despite this, I received multiple toll violations from January 2025 onward because the transponder wasn’t always read, and my new license plate hadn’t yet been added to the account. In several cases, toll systems successfully registered my transponder or plate and correctly charged my account, which shows the system was inconsistent.

    What’s most frustrating is that E-ZPass made no effort to contact me or flag this unusual activity. I received no notice until the violations arrived by mail, and I had to take the initiative to investigate and update my license plate. Since then, no further violations have occurred, proving the issue was tied to a system gap rather than user negligence. It’s disappointing that a company entrusted with managing tolls did not have better internal checks or customer service processes in place to alert users before fees were imposed.

    I am requesting a reimbursement of $50 for the toll violations I already paid, which I believe were wrongly assessed given my account was funded and active. I’m also urging the BBB to help hold E-ZPass accountable for the lack of proactive customer care. I hope for a fair resolution and a refund for the unnecessary charges caused by E-ZPass’s failure to properly process valid tolls.

    On April 8 2025, I was erroneously charged by VA EZPASS for a toll violation that occurred on March 25, 2025 in the amount of $41.75. The vehicle was a “Silver Toyota Corolla 2025” with license plate “*** ****”. It was a rental car own by “******* ****** **** company. I rented the same vehicle on March 27th, two days later, and updated my EZPASS account to include the vehicle on March 30th. I filed a dispute with VA EZPass on April 8th and included my rental contract to show the vehicle was not in my possession. Furthermore, I explained to EZPass that I was out of the country at the time of the toll violation and didn’t return to the U.S until March 27th 2025. VA EZPASS denied my dispute claim even though they admitted my records do in fact show I updated my records on March 30th. On April 9th 2025, another toll violation was charged to my account for the same vehicle that occurred before my rental. I filed a second dispute and again was denied. I followed their rules in accordance with the customer agreement and they still charged me for tolls that clearly were not mine. I included a copy of my rental contract.

    My old plate number is *******, and new plate number is ******. During the time between my registration of the new plate number and receiving the new plate, someone (a GMC truck I never owned) duplicated my old plate (*******) and used on multiple tolls (********* ****** ******** and ********** ******* between March 17th to 20th). I have shown ********** ******* my registration, which clearly states that I do not drive a GMC truck. However, the ********** ******* representative, although acknowledging that the car from toll camera is clearly not the car I drive, is unable to refund me until I provide a letter with DMV letterheard that states I do not drive a GMC truck. Upon contact with DMV, they are unable to provide such a letter. Therefore, I am stuck with these fraudulent charges and no one is able to refund me. I also tried contacting EZPASS representative, and the customer service person is very dismissive and said I need to dispute with local toll. I have disputed this charge with my credit card hoping they can help, but I wanted to complain on here because both EZPASS and toll customer services are extremely unhelpful in handling a fraud case that has clearly nothing to do with me.

    I have received five count of $9.00 and one count of $2.25 charges on my ezpass account over the last 2 months for "Entered Congestion Relief Zone".
    Based on online research, I understand that this is the charge that MTA in NYC charges for entering congestion zone. Thing is, I am a resident of virginia, and have not been to NY at all.
    My car, both my license plates, and my transponder has been here with me in virginia all this time.
    I have contacted EZPass VA several times and even tried disputing the charges. After hours of back and forth, they are still not able (or willing) to resolve these disputes.
    When I ask for pictures, they claim that they don't have any, yet they feel confident enough to charge my account again and again. When I ask to be transferred to the toll road who made that charge, they transfer me to an unrelated North Carolina based toll road for absolutely no reason.

    EZPass VA customer reps are the most incapable people there are. They can't even understand simple plain English, or perhaps they try their best not to. The reps on the phone seem to be incentivized to lengthen the calls as much as they can. They repeat the same information over and over again and easily find it worthwhile to spend 30 minutes to provide a non-answer which they could have in the first minute of the call. I'm not exaggerating at all. This is absolutely disgraceful and horrible.

    I have spent hours trying to inform them that they have a bug in their system that someone could be abusing, and is causing me to bear these fraudulent charges. However, these customer reps are unwilling to act on any of it. Am I supposed to keep expecting these fraudulent charges to come through and keep disputing them and appealing them after they get denied? This is frustrating. EZPass monopoly needs to be broken so they actually will care about their customers.

    Better Business Bureau:

    I have reviewed the response offer made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. They are correct that they disputed the original 4 transactions. However as I mentioned earlier, they did not apply the refund correctly and I am still missing a part of the refund. I have emailed them regarding the difference and it has totally fallen on deaf ears.For the remaining charges, they said they have disputed them, but I have yet to hear back yet.My major complaint with ezpass is their complete inability to do anything beyond this lengthy dispute process. When I keep getting fraudulent tolls on my account despite never setting foot in NYC, how does EZPass not have a mechanism to identify and block the fraud to protect their customers? I can't even put a "pause" on my account to prevent the charges. EZPass does not have the pictures, they don't have any mechanisms to help their customers against scams. And their customer service is abysmal - they take a good 30 minutes to even begin the conversation. This is unacceptable.

    EZPass sent me a bad transponder. We were charged a toll on I66 even though we qualified as HOV. I contacted them about this and was told they couldn't remove previous charges for this. Because of this I ordered a new HOV transponder last fall. I rarely use tolls and bought a new car around this same time. I didn't realize you could add the vehicle using the temp plates and they expect you to do this and update it when you get official plates. My fault sure.

    I used a toll road in January with the new transponder. Given I was sent a defective unit I received violations for all tolls that day (3 total). Using the toll that day reminded me to add the new car as I had just recently received the plates and again don't use toll roads very much. In contacting their customer service, they first attempted to have me pay shipping to return the defective unit. They relented and sent me a return label. In the same interaction the rep told me that he was unable to waive admin fees and I would need to put in a dispute. I put in a dispute and was told since I didn't add the vehicle I would be responsible for the admin fees. While they are in their rights to do this you would think they would make an exception given the faulty transponder. After multiple back and forth emails, that clearly show they don't read them fully, I was simply told because I hadn't added the vehicle that I had to pay the admin fees. Their policies are written to their convenience and they have no competition to force them to improve. In this case we had to pay HOV tolls and now admin fees. Both on technicalities.

    Separately, they claim to have convenience locations for you to pick up new transponders, but those same locations won't take back the old ones requiring you to mail them back (not convenient). EZPass needs competition, they are terrible to work with and all of their policies favor them.

    On behalf of E-ZPass Virginia, I do apologize for any inconvenience the customer has experienced.E-Z Pass is a form of payment for the toll roads. Per Section G of the Customer Service Agreement, patrons are to promptly update the license plate information for vehicles that may use the E-Z Pass Account and remove license plates for vehicles no longer associated with the account.Violations in our system for license plate *********** occurred on 1/24/2025 before it was added to the patron’s account on 1/29/2025. These violations were for Dulles Toll Road. This toll road does not have any HOV free lanes.Some make/models, such as the Telsa listed on the patron’s account may have technology embedded in the windshield such as rain sensors or heads up display technology that may prevent the transponder from reading. For these vehicles it is recommended for the patron to contact their dealership for a recommended mounting location for interior transponders or switch to a bumper transponder.We are happy to assist the patron with switching to a bumper transponder if they choose to.Regarding locations to pick up and drop off transponder, transponders can be dropped off a one of our Walk In Centers, however they can only be picked up at retail locations.Kind Regards,******* ******Customer Service Supervisor

    I noticed on my statement that I was overcharged. I presented the issue informed the business where the error occurred and that I would like the money put back into the account..not my checking account, back into the Ez pass account. I have several emails threads where the business is trying to deflect by requesting additional information. I have provided in my opinion enough information to fix the issue. The company has since resent the generic email reaponse..this has been going on for weeks.

    On behalf of E-ZPass Virginia, I do apologize for any inconvenience the customer has experienced.The toll rate for the Coleman Bridge toll is $2.00. Per the toll road, the toll is reduced to $0.85 for E-Z Pass account holders with a positive balance and active transponder.The account has been periodically insufficient, resulting in the transponder being deactivated and the tolls linking back to the account by the license plate, not by the transponder, resulting in the toll rate being $2.00 versus $0.85 if the transponder would have been read.Upon reviewing the patron’s account, we show notes of email communications with the patron, in which we requested confirmation of the transponder being used in the vehicle to troubleshoot the account and properly assist with this issue.We have reached out to the patron, leaving a voicemail with the direct number of a supervisor to assist in trouble shooting the account to help resolve any issues.Kind Regards,******* ******Customer Service Supervisor

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I will wait for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved.
