Default iPass/EZPass users: Got a violation notice today... a big wtf?

I am on auto-renew and have been for well over maybe 6 or 7 years.

The violation came today that in 07/2004 and 04/2005 and 04/2005 I ran one of the express lanes. So I have to pay the $.50 and a $20 fine for each. $62.

Again, auto-renew... without one notice of a zero balance. How the fsck do they get the idea I blew threw tolls? They have my tail photographed and everything.

Default I think you send them the # from the I-Pass box and they'll credit you the fines........

you still have to pay the tolls...I-Pass might have failed on those dates....had the same thing happen in the Suburban.......transponder broke and we got a load of violations.....

Default don't worry about it. Happens all the time to me. Just call them and as long as..

your account is in good standing you just have to pay the $.50. Pain in the ***, but happens.

Default I think that they might mean that even though you have I-pass you

went too fast maybe and they did not pick up on the I-pass? And now they have to fine you?

Yeah, I would get a Supervisor involved in that phone call!

Default Another reason I love my old transponder that beeps when the toll is paid...

I also log onto my account weekly to print out my statement for my expense reports, so I could tell if something is missing.

I think, and I'm likely wrong, that's I've had this device since maybe 97 or 98.

Yes. No worries, tolls only and no fines.
