      I received a piece of mail from Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP on 11/13/24. The letter was dated 11/6/24 demanding payment for an unpaid toll from 5/25/22. The letter starts off by saying you have failed to respond to our previous communications regarding amounts you owe. I have NEVER heard of this firm and I have NEVER been contacted by them previously. I keep all of my mail. Not once did I even know I owed a toll. The amount of toll I failed to pay, according to the letter, is $4.10. The fee that I have incurred for not responding to previous communications is $50! This firm has never reached out to me before because if Id known I owed a whopping four dollars and ten cents, I would have paid it immediately. I believe I am being asked to pay a fee for something I was never made aware of. I went on their site to chat with someone so that I can have everything in writing, but they keep disconnecting the chat before I can speak with someone.

      I am responding to the consumer complaint filed with your office by **** *****************. Freemans complaint regards an account for unpaid tolls and fees owed to our client, the ***************************** (****).

      On May 25, 2022, a vehicle with Georgia license plate RFC4043, registered to **** *******, incurred a toll on the New Jersey Turnpike.  NJTA mailed notices for the violation, totaling $54.10, the amount of the toll incurred, and associated fees. The notices were mailed to the address **** received from the **************************** (DMV): *********************************************************************. Please note it is the responsibility of the registered owner of the vehicle to update the mailing address on their registration.

      When the notices went unpaid beyond the due dates, the violation was referred to the Firm for collections. Notices were mailed on August 18, 2022 and September *******, in the amount of $54.10. A probable new address was located: ***************************************** *******************************, and a third notice was mailed November 6, 2024, in the same amount.  No response was received directly by the Firm.

      Upon receipt of this complaint, we reviewed the account with our client. Per ****,the debt was valid.  At the time of the violation (T132283391464) the address where the vehicle was registered for **** *******, was ************************************, therefore that is where the violation notices were sent. **** has attached screenshots of the invoices and the license plate on the account for review. This violation was paid in full via website on November 20, 2024. There is no further amount due by Ms. **************

      Please accept the above information as our response to the complaint.   We trust that this information will be sufficient to allow for resolution of the complaint.   In the event additional information is desired or necessary, please let us know.

      This firm, if it is one, is soliciting over $600 from me by serving me notices in the mail about collections for traffic tickets in ******************** from 2018. I called to find out what it was about because I live on the other side of the country and have never driven a bicycle in ** in my life. The person I spoke to just tried to gain more information about me that they already have but questioning the legitimacy of all of this, I did not offer any information. If anyone is contacted by this firm please be weary and involve an attorney if possible as I plan to, and do not send them anything. BBB I don't understand why it says this company is not rated but next to that it says A+, its very misleading.

      Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to formally report a fraudulent debt collection attempt made by ***************** Name or ****************** related to license plates that are not registered to me. The firm has repeatedly attempted to collect a debt for tags with which I have no association, and I have made it clear that I will not pay any amount or provide personal information in relation to this fraudulent claim.Despite my objections, this company continues to pursue the matter, and I am concerned about the potential negative impact this could have on my credit report. I believe this constitutes a scam or unfair debt collection practice, and I wish to file a complaint through the BBB to prevent others from being subjected to similar issues.I kindly request that the BBB investigate this matter and hold ***************** Name or ****************** accountable for their unethical practices. I am happy to provide any additional information or documentation needed to support my claim.Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      I am responding to the consumer complaint filed with your office by *** ********.  Ms. ********* complaint regards an account for tolls and fees owed to our client, the *************************** (FTE).

      The complaint apparently requests no further contact from the Firm, so this response is submitted to just the BBB, and not to the complainant. The BBB is, of course, welcome to share this response with the complainant.

      Between September 7, 2019, and October August 15, 2022,vehicles with Florida license plate, ******, and license plate ****************** to *** ********, incurred numerous tolls on *************************** toll lanes.  Multiple invoices were mailed for the violations on each account, resulting in the amount of $275.37 for plate NATN19, and $144.74 for plate DFF0390; this included the amount of the tolls incurred, and accumulated fees and penalties. The invoices were mailed to the addresses FTE received from the **************************** (DMV): *************************************** Apt.*************************************************** and 501 Dr. ****** ****** **** **** ***** *******************************************************, respectively.

      When no response was received to the invoices, the account was referred to the Firm for collection.  Multiple notices were mailed by the Firm on each account. Please note the Firm did not credit report these accounts.

      Upon receipt of this complaint, we reviewed the accounts with our client. *** processed a *** (registered owner of vehicle) Look-up which confirmed that Ms. ******** is the registered owner of both vehicles, and is the responsible party. Please note that the address *********************************************. *************************************************************, is the same as *************************************** Apt. **************************** (two street names for the same street).  FTE has provided a statement for plate NATN19 and another for plate DFF0390 for review.  The *** information is also attached.

      Please accept the above information as our response to the complaint.   We trust that this information will be sufficient to allow for resolution of the complaint.  In the event additional information is desired or necessary, please let us know.

      Complaint: 22465716

      I am rejecting this response because:

      On October 23, I discovered two mailed notices dated August and September from your company, claiming tolls and traffic violations under my name. I have been on deployment and only recently returned home, where I found these notices.


      After investigating with the ************************************, I confirmed that I have not received any official notices or violations for the vehicles in question. According to the ***, these vehicles are no longer registered to me. Specifically, one of the plates, NATN19, is registered under someone elses name, and the other, DFF0390, was a temporary plate. Currently, I only have one active plate in my name, U969RR, and I surrendered an additional plate earlier this year.

      Since I am not liable for these tolls, I will not be submitting any payment for charges that do not belong to me. I also spoke with two of your representatives to clarify this matter. Please update your records accordingly and cease further attempts to collect these charges.

      Business response

      11/05/2024

      We reviewed Ms. ********* rejection with Floridas Turnpike Enterprise.  FTE responded that, while the license plates may not be currently registered to Ms. ********* all toll transactions for both license plates occurred while the plates were registered to her. Ms. ******** may provide documentation from the ***************************** Safety and Motor Vehicles showing when the plates were surrendered.

      Upon receipt of this complaint,we reviewed the account with our client. OTA contacted Mr. ***** on October *******, and a new Pikepass account was set up.  At that time the previous tolls were transferred to his new account leaving a $0 balance owed.  As such, OTA has recalled this account from our office. There is no further amount due.

      I trust this is sufficient to satisfy your inquiry and resolve this matter. In the event you need additional information, you may contact me at the above email address.

      I have Received a Letter stating that I owe taxes. I, personally, know that I do not, because 5- 6 years ago I had everything taken from my return and settled. This is the only time I have ever received a letter in the mail and it is stating that this is their FINAL DEMAND! Says I owe $1,315.48. This is what I need from them. I Need:-The name of the original creditor and the amount due.-Calculation of any extra interest or penalties on the account.-Evidence of your last interaction with the account.-Proof that ********************** owns this debt.-A calculation of the statute of limitations for the debt.Once these things are proven to me in Writing, then I will be willing to talk and discuss the matter.

      Dear Ms. ******************** behalf of Linebarger Goggan Blair & Sampson, LLP (Firm), I am responding to the complaint submitted on October 10, 2024 with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) regarding our collection efforts on a citation (the Citation). Upon receipt of this complaint, we placed the Citation in a stop work status for review.

      The Firm represents the City of Mission in the collection of delinquent fines and fees. The City of Mission forwarded the Citation to our Firm as payment obligations related to this case have become delinquent. The Citation stems from a City of Mission Citation being issued in your name and date of birth for a curfew violation and failure to appear.

      After our further review of the Citation and receipt of your correspondence, we have removed ***************************************** as a valid address for the person originally issued the Citation.

      Thank you and I hope this response has addressed the concerns in your complaint. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
