North Texas Tollway Authority

Have anybody had any dealings with this bunch? I received a bill last month and another one today so I called them and explained I have not been in Texas for several years and that I don't own a commercial vehicle. She said that they had contacted Kansas and that tag was registered to me, I don't believe them, I have never had a pwr tag and they are 6 numbers where a regular tag has 3. I was told I would have to contact the state of Kansas and get a letter proving it is not my tag and send that to them and they would check into it. I told her it was their problem and I am not paying no matter how many bills they send.

Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
Ask for a picture of the plate and vehicle and work from there.

The one in Central TX is known to purposely bill the wrong person until the bill is late, then send the tolls and late fees to the RIGHT person. All of a sudden a $2 toll is a $30 late fee. When you call them, they blame everyone else (“the info we got from the DPS was wrong! We swear!” Then how in the hell did you get the correct info now?!?), including YOU (“you know you took the toll road. Why didn’t you contact us when you didn’t get a bill?”). Their solution? Get one of the pre-paid TxTag toll tags. You put money on it, and then we can earn interest on your money while you cant use it.
There have been lots of news stories about how they operate, but for the most part, they just wave it off and have the attitude “What are you going to do? Sit in traffic? ride the toll roads and shut up, peon!”
sorry- these guys piss me off. They tore up regular and replaced them with toll roads and charge us to drive on them.

If I remember correctly, though I may be wrong, after the record fees were collected, the state set the fines and penalties to make sure NTTA couldn't profit from them. Most of the write ups I saw on it, folks thought they were very fair, but for habitual offenders after a certain date of being late and penalties can add up. I remember seeing someone being billed $40K for driving the toll roads and cutting through DFW airport five days a week for two years and not paying their bills or fines. They were arrested and the judge levied the full $40K fine and penalty on them for ignoring the laws, bills and fines. The Dallas Morning news used to post the habitual offenders with the vehicle, license plate and owner for a few years. Some of the fines were off the charts but so were there behavior.
