E-ZPass Administrative Fees in NJ Lead to Confusion and Lawsuit 

It happend to me.i forgot to put the easy pass in my car and drove to Jersey and got two violations by mail and the toll was $6.50 each way with $50 administrative fees on each ticket.its highway robbery and im glad that someone is taking the matter to court.

Have yet to find any information on the status of the class action lawsuit. Hopefully they get what’s coming because it’s absolutely ridiculous that they’re allowed to charge that much when most EZPASS states (like Massachussets for years now) have been using toll by mail and just charge an additional 10 cents if you don’t have EZPASS. Meanwhile some toll booths in NJ are Ezpass only. You basically have no choice

It's a scam to rip off drivers. People wonder why no one trusts the government...when they go and do crooked things like this. The personal who created this scam should be fined and put in prison.

New jersey is money hungry

I went to NJ and NY from GA and am slammed with 3 toll letters as expected but also 3 $50 administration fees to my shock. Rip off state NJ. Will never ever recommend anyone to move there. I think their 3-4% property tax is not enough.

Shouldn't that be normal policy to check to see if they have an account with EZ pass before billing someone? This is insane this whole world is twisted

They do not do all they can, to let drivers know what’s wrong. They just charge you the 50$ which is crazy.

This must be stopped ASAP!

EZ Pass is an EZ racket. All of these fees and taxes NJ is getting....where is it going??? Not on the roads, not on affordable and DECENT housing. How are other states able to manage and created revenue without excessive tolls???? NJ has been using its proximity to NY and Philly has a rationale for it's COL but what is the state offering outside of this....I'll wait.....

I thought checking if a car (via license) has EZ pass was SOP / protocol - it is in NY in many crossings. It's confusing. In NY many bridges are cash-less tolls and your auto plates (i.e. or EZ pass is charged). In NJ / DE / MD i use the device, they often ignore it and slam me for tolls + $50. It's insane!! It's frankly an illegal tax.

I have a $50 dollar fee for 6 crossings over the Newburgh Beacon Bridge at $1.75 per crossing. There is no toll at the bridge no choice of lanes. I also have a $100 dollar fee for a bridge in the Bronx that there was no toll for! For 6 $1.75 crossings and 2 non toll crossings one crossing over the Mario Cuomo bridge My fee total is $998. My son suffered a traumatic loss of his right arm and was hospitalized during this time. He then was charged $51.75 each time he followed up with his prosthetist in effort to get a prosthetic arm. I will be fighting these unjustified outrageous fees to cross a bride that has a $1.75 toll and no toll booth. I just received this information and I am outraged

I JUST GOT 600.00 IN ADMIN FEES! IM CALLING TOMORROW TO GET THIS REMEDIED. GREEDY!

Admin fee is 500% markup on my toll violation!!🤬🤬

I owe close to $7,000 in fees in NJ! This is a straight rip off from the state.

WHERE DO I SIGN UP WITH THIS LAWYER

3k in violations for only 5 dollars in tolls

Some agencies have imposed periodic account maintenance fees on their subscribers. After New Jersey began losing money with the E-ZPass system, a monthly account fee of one dollar was implemented on July 15, 2002[75] and is still in effect for both individual and business accounts.[76] The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey also charges a monthly individual account fee of one dollar.[77] On July 1, 2009, the Maryland Transportation Authority began charging a fee of $1.50 a month to account holders[78] which, as of July 1, 2015, only applies to non-residents and is waived if three Maryland E-ZPass tolls were incurred during the previous month.[79]

It's happening to a lot of people including me. I got a bill from them saying I passed thru e.z pass on the 27 of May . Guess what ? , I was work that day& nowhere near the turnpike that day

It happened to me several times and I have money on my ez pass! How do I get in touch with this lawyer cause something is giving that NJ trying to come up off of hardworking everyday people. We already struggling enough how we get a bill that costs damn near a one way plane ticket to NY. I know this been going on for years this is a Mafia toll that's what this is.

NJ charges anywhere from $50-$100 in admin fees

every time I drive to ny I get so many of these ez pass violations and jersey is the worst with it. they need to at least check if I got an account with ez pass no matter what state you are in.

Modern day theft.. and non of these Crooks go to jail

It's Always PROBLEMS!

My transponder malfunctioned and I got two bills even though my license plate was registered with EZ-pass, it was on autofill, and other tolls were paid while I was waiting for my new transponder. I sent the dispute form in with my explanation, new transponder number and a check for the toll. The forms and check was returned to me without explanation and a letter saying my dispute was rejected because either 1) I waited to long to dispute (WRONG) 2) My license plate was not corrected within 3 days (It was on file for over a year) or 3) There wasn't money in the account (It was on autoreplenish). I figured I'd just pay the fees since clearly I am dealing with the mafia.

Got 2 toll violations with a Va tag with money in account, each one has $50 administration fee for $3.40 dollars of tolls. Try to call NJ EZ pass on hold for 1hr 27mins. hour they must want you to hangup and pay these fees. I drive through NJ often since I have family in NY. The rep. that answered the phone did put the 3.40 on the account without the fees but I will check my statement to make sure. Long hour and a half wait on hold but for $100 its worth it. NY charged me a five-dollar fee for a dollar toll, and I just paid it. If NJ charge the same as NY, they will make money since most would pay five dollars, then hold on the phone for an hour. I wonder what happen on this lawsuit since I just found out about it today while I was on the phone holding for NJ EZ pass to answer, maybe by calling they won't charge the fees.

E-ZPass users are not required to maintain their account with an agency in their home state (or if in a toll-free state, the closest one to them). Subscribers can open an E-ZPass account with any member of the IAG regardless of residency. This means that users have the option of choosing an agency based on the fees that it charges, effectively allowing them to circumvent transponder and account maintenance fees.

EZ PASS ALSO CHARGES A $1 EVERY MONTH FOR YOUR STATEMENT 🤨😡🤬💩

Pleased keep me posted on this lawsuit

I can see to charge if the bill is not paid but give the traveler a chance to pay it

When I worked the phones for NJ E-ZPass and encountered so many people complaining about violations, admin fees etc. I always asked myself.. Why don't people just cover up the license plate or use a toy licence plate?

i just had to pay 600 dollars that's after a hardship request the bill total was 2,700. i jumped through hoops to get this fixed took 3 months . its not 100 percent their fault but i think the fees are ridiculous and the communication

$50 is absolutely ridiculous

I’ve gotten the same 2 violations three times. All 3 times I printed out the receipts that they were paid as well as the senate bill S646. I’m not paying any fines or fees. They’re all for $50-$54

There is nothing easy about Ez pass

Got charged for jersey, $25 administrative fee for a $5 toll. I'm out $90. Gonna carry cash now for tolls, thought it would be Pay By Plate like PA.

Nothing has been done yet, I just one for on a $6.60 toll and yes the $50 admin fee. It’s a scam to this day

I'm being robbed and I don't know what to do anymore about this matter 😕

This is disgusting before by our elected officials allowing this

This has happened to me I have literally $1,000’s they say I owe

Yea last month I went from mass to NJ and back and got a 108 dollars bill, I don’t see where you even pick up the ticket, no person and no button to push to get it. I thought you just go thru like the mass pike.

Can someone do something?They actually steal money from us!2023 October today still same problem I have 2 call them 3 times waiting hours to getting attention and getting charged money cause ez pass fail 3 times for a bank issue!$3 tolls I ending pay more than $100

I got billed they said i owen them over $1200 what can I do ? I have my device I leve in ny and go there to visitation on my elderly uncle and now I owned that much 😤😢🥵

It means EZ pass company or Port Authority fraudulently creating double or triple ez pass account on the basis of States like NY EZpass, PA EZpass etc.

Almost every car in NJ has a plastic cover over license plates so plates can't y read... those should be ticketed

I’m fucking pissed

If you live in the States of NJ or NY, I am an attorney, who has a 100% track record in eliminating EZ Pass fines and penalties. Class action lawsuits are not going to help you. IF you live in another state, than you need to retain an experienced bankruptcy attorney, licensed in your state.

I’ll sue. I have an account , just send me the bill of the toll , but any extra goes to the wise guys

2 fucking years and nothings changed

This is nothing new under the sun

These people are dumb i would pay my toll bill, but when you tack on the $50😂 i ain't paying anymore. You can put that on my tab
