I have a {$9.00} toll charge with the XXXX. They have a contract with Linebarger Goggan Blair to collect debts. I live in the XXXX area, and my bank card on file had expired so when the money in my account was used, it kicked back the charge. I received an invoice for the tolls + administrative costs from XXXX. I contacted them to correct the issue. I was told to contact my local toll authority ( XXXX ) and have them send over verification of a good standing account. I did that. During their exchange of information which I have no control over, XXXX sent my account to collections, subsequently adding approximately {$120.00} on top of the {$30.00} administrative fees ( which XXXX agreed to remove ). My final bill is {$150.00}. I was instructed to contact Linebarger for any removal of their fees, which they told me they would not do under any circumstance, and the collection representative " XXXX '', informed me that I had committed a Class C Misdemeanor and had broken the law. All the toll authority had to do is run the charge again, but they send their accounts to collections because someone is getting their pockets lined at the consumers expense. It is unethical. I did not attempt to break any law and XXXX has since received money on behalf of my toll usage, but has maintained that they will not take my toll payment for this one day.
