    I've received 2 toll notices for a license plate number that is not mine for a ****** that I do not own. The first time it happened, I called and a woman helped and "checked" and said she would remove the charge because it wasn't mine. Today I called because the second notice is for this mystery vehicle and I called expecting them to take care of it. Unfortunately I spoke to a "******" and he says I'll have to file a dispute and give them "title information" to prove I don't own the car. I asked if he could even tell me what kind of car it is and he said a model of ****** which I have never had any kind of ******. I explained this was the 2nd time this had happened and that they took care of it last time but suddenly now "******" can't do anything about because if they open a case it'll just come back to me. What does that even mean? That's not my vehicle and you're not taking my money for it.

    If I could give no stars I would. I received a letter from the **************** say that my registration is on hold due to a Toll not paid for the Cline Avenue Bridge. I haven't received any communication from Cline Avenue Bridge about this toll not being paid other than the letter I received from the State. They said they have sent 4 letters to my address, but I received none. So a $6 toll goes to $55 on the assumption that I got them. When I contacted them to discuss the issue they verify my info and ask for a phone number in case we get disconnected. 5 mins into the conversation we are disconnected. I wait for call and guess what? NO call back!!!!!!! This company wants me to believe they sent me 4 notices when they cant even call me back after I just gave them my number 5 minutes ago. I have no issue paying the toll, but the fees and fines absolutely not. I have the ** Pass and it shows no recorded of the day in question. They have a great little scam they are running. Because I guess if they said they sent the notices their word is the last one.

    This is fraud, an illegitimate business, its a scam, they should be shut down immediately. They are intimidating people and collecting private information for who knows what purpose, they can't identify themselves, and have no evidence that you were even at a toll booth. They are not affiliated with any government agency and they have a PO box in *********** to send your checks too? C'mon man, arrest these fraudsters.

    How to rake in a bunch of money - Build a bridge and require only EZ Pass type payment (no toll booths) then run out of town travelers over your bridge without prominent signage or warnings that your toll is required to be paid online if you don't have one of those devices Then charge fees in the amount of 3x the actual toll. I hope the locals know your special rules, because the casual traveler does not. Very shady operation.

    Yesterday, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. My transponder was working perfectly on June 22, 2022, and used to charge three tolls in *******. I received a notice in late July from CAB stating a toll was not paid. IL IPass advised me that one of the three tolls paid on June 22 was for CAB. I sent a note to CAB stating this. They sent a bill for the toll and for a $20 admin charge. I sent another note. They sent a new bill for $40 in admin plus the toll. I called two days ago, was told to contact IL IPass, get proof my transponder was funded and working on toll date. Moreover, they said they just received my first note yesterday. Ah, it took 2 and 1/2 months to get to them? Furthermore, they said my admin fees will be waived and toll reduced to $2.50, if I do all this. I offered to pay on the spot to be done, but no, hoops must be jumped through first. I'll do the hoops once my complaints get recorded but drivers must be aware: ************ likes folks who'll pay those admin fees without question. And, I'll bet, many drivers simply pay those fees rather than suffer any further intimidation. They smell like hustlers, these CAB folks.

    Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns. I-Pass was contacted on your behalf to verify if the toll transaction was deducted from your account. The investigation determined the transponder was not detected, nor was your license plate listed on the I-Pass account at the time of travel. We were also informed the Cline Avenue Bridge toll did not post to your I-Pass account on June 22, 2022. It is highly recommended to contact I-PASS to ensure that your account information is up to date, so this situation does not occur again. As always, we remain committed to providing the highest level of customer service. Please contact us if you have any questions.

    BEWARE POTENTIAL SCAM I received a notice that I didn't pay a toll but my credit card clearly has a charge from ITR CLINE AVE TOLLS. I talked to customer service and they immediately started asking for personal information. After I refused to share out of fear of a scam, I was told to dispute it with my bank as they don't have a toll booth. A toll road without a toll booth? And if the answer is that AVE is different than Bridge then, the inconsistency in operations doesn't add up. Additionally, the picture is just of the back of my car. It could have been taken anywhere. Driving into *******, I was forced to stop at an absurd amount of toll booths. I don't understand how I would have missed one. If they are running a toll road without toll booths then, they still need to stop each car for consent. I'm driving a car in a high traffic area with semi trucks that block views. A small sign on the side of the road can't be assume as consent from the driver that I agree to pay the toll.Even if this is a real company, their business practice is a scam and they should not be allow to operate in this manner. This company clearly doesn't understand ethics.I really don't know how to proceed but, I'm scared of the consequences if I don't pay and I really don't have the time and energy to fight over $5 which plays right into this scam. Maybe Paypal provides the most protection? I'm not sure but, I definitely don't want to give them my bank account numbers or credit card numbers.Better Business Bureau, please stop this unethical business practice.

    I received a notice saying I didn't pay a toll.. This was the third notice (so they say) but it was the first I received at the time it was around $45 roughly $5 for the toll the rest was fees. So I called to dispute the charges was told to contact E-ZPass which I did back on 3-30-22. E-ZPass emailed me a log showing I've had my pass since 2012 and never took this bridge as long as I've had my pass so I sent a dispute on their site with proof from E-ZPass.Fast forward to today 7-14-22 CAB has a hold (for $50 or so) that's preventing me from renewing my plates so I called they told me I need to send in a dispute on they site which I told them I did back in March (last time I called them) I was told it was never received. The site is set up where u don't have any proof or a way to get confirmation that a dispute was sent and now they have me in a bad spot if I get stopped by the police. The pic CAB sent shows the back of my *********** on a open road in the dark nothing else in the pic shows you're at a toll !!! There should be signs and lights at the so called toll... and if there is why isn't one in the pic. I'm sure they would get a lot less complaints if this was the case. How can u dispute when u see a big toll sign by the vehicle.I've asked each time I called where exactly is this toll?.. meaning is it off the ******* skyway or off i-94 no one working there seems to be able to answer this. My plate# is 413bgb I did resend the same information I sent back in March and I had the guy on the phone from CAB confirm this dispute was received by them this time. I want this hold off of my plates ASAP and I want all fees waived.

    Forgot to mention altho the guy confirmed the dispute was received this time he told me I still have to wait up to 48hrs for a reply, which means ill have to risk riding around until next week sometime before I hear anything. Sorry CAB I don't have the luxury of working from home. And why wasn't a noticed sent to me that you all put a hold on my plates.. maybe someone need to verify these so called notices are being received. Where's your accountability to anything the notices the disputes on your site.. the burden of proof should be on your end since there's no way of my verifying anything.

    I have been billed by the Cline Ave. Bridge, but I never encountered a toll request nor am I even aware I crossed such a bridge. I have receipts for all my tolls from IN to ******* and back and Cline Ave. Bridge was not among them. I feel this is a scam. Is it legal? Is it legitimate?
