The MTA and Port Authority have significantly increased their collection efforts on behalf of New York City. A depleted EZ-Pass can quickly turn into a very large debt, potential lawsuit and judgment all in the matter of a few months.
The good news is that we are frequently able to negotiate settlements in these matters which erases the thousands of dollars of penalties and interest accrued so that the small original EZ-Pass debt can be paid.
EZ-Pass debt is so dangerous because delinquent payments accrue penalties and interest on a consistent basis ultimately growing to outrageous amounts as compared to the original amount. We often see an original EZ-Pass bill of $1500 grow to $10,000 or more because of the penalties and interest that has accrued.

Decrescenzo says if you don't have an E-ZPass, you will get a bill for the toll within 30 days. If you don't pay that, another bill will in 60 days plus a $5 late fee. After 90 days, you're officially a violator.

Hello: In the future, this can be easily avoided by using a credit card as the source of payment for EZ Pass. Right now, an investigation has probably been started by bank and EZPass to see what happened and then you will know who is the culpable party.
And, the dispute is that you have to pay something that you haven't actually paid. So, in the status quo, in which you haven't paid a late fee which you believe you don't owe, and you are winning for now. Generally speaking, one brings a lawsuit to change the status quo.
