Road tollWhen driving on many toll roads throughout Delaware and surrounding states, it’s very common to use EZPass. EZPass is an automatic way to pass through the toll assessment stations throughout Delaware and have the money owed be deducted from an account.

However, a growing number of people allege that their Delaware toll violation notices are inaccurate or assess unreasonable fees.

Those drivers may even be able to participate in a class action lawsuit investigation. If you were assessed an excessive EZPass toll violation over the course of the past four years, you may be eligible to pursue legal action against the company.

Drivers pay tolls to move through certain highways. The EZPass system is often used to allow people to pass through the toll assessment stations more quickly. A Delaware toll violation may be assessed if a person does not have enough funds on their account to cover the toll that is due.

Automated toll fee collection is a way to easily and quickly pay toll fees without actually having to stop at the booth. A driver will avoid a Delaware toll violation by purchasing an account through a provider such as EZPass. A transponder is then affixed to the driver’s windshield and then this communicates with the system as the driver passes through the toll booth.

Drivers must add money to their toll collection accounts and the toll fee will then be removed from the account each time that the driver passes through a toll area.

A driver can be assessed a Delaware toll violation if they do not have sufficient money in their account. However, drivers now argue that their Delaware toll violation notices indicate much higher penalties than the base toll fee.

A growing number of class action lawsuits have been associated with problems alleged by drivers, including those who have received notice of a Delaware toll violation.

In some of these instances, the cost for the Delaware toll violation may be ten times as much as the actual toll cost for driving on the road that other drivers paid for with cash or if they had sufficient funds on their account.

If you have already been assessed an EZPass toll violation fee, you may be eligible to participate in a class action lawsuit investigation. Consumers are getting increasingly frustrated with receiving these notices and not being informed about the high penalties associated with having insufficient funds on the account.

Although the EZPass transponder and other similar services may be a seamless way to pay your toll, it could lead to more trouble if you are not careful enough to monitor the funds inside your account and if you are assessed a costly Delaware toll violation.

Reviewing past notices received regarding violations and insufficient funds in your account can help you identify whether or not exorbitant fees have been assessed against your account. If excessive fees were charged, customers can look into options to challenge them.

    We have an ez pass but for some reason never reads in the Biddles or Dover toll booths. Then I get a 50.00 dollar bill for each time thru. I have written letters given my e z pass information and get no where.

  2. Mayelin says:

    I called EZPass of Delaware and they are the only ones that did not offer any help at all. Not a reduction or a single waiver of fees. Paying $91.50 for a $4 tolls is outrages and I can’t even afford it. How is this even legal?

  3. Heather says:

    First notice I have received in November for a March claim. Excessive fees now owing $81.50 for $15 violent crimes, $25 civil penalty, $25 administration fee ect.

  4. Beth James says:

    I had a toll violation of one dollar! I have been charged $88.50 for this. I never received any notices from Delaware (I live in Maryland) until I received a letter from a collection agency! Absurd

      What did you do about getting it pardoned

  5. Keith Willig says:

    Delaware is stealing from people with their toll violation costs. They say on the website that you can’t appeal if you don’t have a Delaware EZ-pass.

  6. Devon A Edwards says:

    I just submitted my report of being charged $108, that is, $100 being added to toll of $8.00, and most certainly wishes to be a part of any class action law suit.
