E-Z Pass Question

DH borrowed my car and his sister's E-Z pass while on a recent business trip to PA. i received a letter in the mail last week from the state of NJ w/ a pic of my license plate # stating that i (DH) failed to pay the $1.70 toll on the george washington bridge. the total amount due is $26.70 (1.70 toll fee + 25.00 administrative fee.

there is an 'e-z pass customer certification' dispute section on the back. the account holder name, e-z pass account # and transporter # must be filled out. problem is the e-z pass is not ours (it's DH's sisters). i have heard (after the fact) that e-z passes cannot be used by anyone other then the account holder.

is this true? DH must have went through 10+ tolls those few days and this is (knock on wood) is the only letter that i have received.

This happened once with my car (EZ Pass is DH's and it was before we were married).

It was on a trip to Myrtle Beach and the EZ Pass registered all the tolls one way, but missed one the other way - we disputed and it was fine.

I've used my Dad's EZ Pass lots of times, and I've never received a letter. (Neither has he.) I wonder if the booth just didn't 'read' the Pass correctly that one time?

question is, do you think i can submit someone else's info? i heard that if you do, the holder will lose their ez-pass becuae it is not to be used by anyone by the account holder..

IMO - why should there care who is paying or whose pass it is as long as it is paid?

Your SIL should submit and put in the explanation it was a family trip , blah, blah, hence not her car. The letter is because it didn't register the toll, not because someone else used the EZ Pass.

ditto!! sometimes it just doesn't register, but if you submit someone else's info..you are opening a new can of worms.
