I received a Toll Violation Invoice stating that I owed the HCTRA $37.50 for 3 tolls and $33.00 administrative fees. The charges were dated 12/30, 12/30, and 08/27. I admit that I was forced to go through the EZ Tag lane, because of traffic I could not get in the pay by cash lane. I had a roll of quarters to pay the tolls. My son lives in Katy, Tx and I do use the toll road. But, I did not on 12/30 at 11:40 am and 12/30 at 4:30 pm go through the tolls without paying. I am a senior citizen, clean driving record, maybe 1 ticket since the age of 16 and I always buy a role of quarters before going to Katy. I was sent a picture of my car for one of the violations, but why not for all three? Now I have received a letter from an attorney charging me $79.50 for $4.50 of unpaid tolls. This is so wrong! I am a law abiding citizen and would not go through 3 tolls without paying. I know for a fact, that I am guilty of 1 on 12/30 @ 11:40am. But, why am I just being notified that I went through a toll on 8/27. I was also told that if I get an EZ tag, the administrative charges would be dropped. The $33.00 admin fee is a rip off and now $79.50, what's that for? I could dispute it, but there is no one to dispute it too. I'm really at a loss.
