Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2023 I was driving on XXXX XXXX XXXX while the vendor ( XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX was conducting some repairs around toll booths at the location. My transponder did not work properly there, either because of vendor construction work or because transponder battery expired. I ordered a new transponder and returned an old one as XXXX as required by service agreement. On XX/XX/2023 I received a notice from XXXX XXXX requiring payment of said tolls plus excessive administrative fees and dispute resolution form. I filled the form indicating my XXXX account number. I considered the matter resolved as I was diligent customer of XXXX for decades. However, vendor ignored my request and send me another bill with even larger administrative fees and threats of legal action. The notice number they sent is XXXX. My XXXX account number is XXXX. Despite having an XXXX transponder and vendor policy of charging fees in such case to my existing account, I have been charged exorbitant fees for using XXXX toll roads. I did pay the amount requested of {$55.00} to stop accrual of fees, but have contacted the vendor and informed them of this issue, and requested refund, but they initially have ignored my dispute form request and continued to over-bill me with additional fees. I have also received threatening legal action if I fail to pay these charges, which is unacceptable. After my multiple complaints to XXXX state authorities the vendor did refund the fees of {$55.00} on XX/XX/2023, therefore I considered the matter resolved. However, it turned out that vendor decided to turn the case to the bill collector ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX # XXXX ) to collect {$200.00} (! ) for the resolved matter. I consider this a blatant violation of FDCPA in order to continue to harass me for the debt I never owned and violate federal consumer laws for corporate enrichment. I am very disappointed with the vendor 's illegal action in resolving this matter. I have tried to resolve this issue amicably, but it seems that my concerns have fallen on deaf ears. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
