THE JUNK FEE SCAM

HOW A $3 TOLL BECOMES $242+ -- AND THEY DO IT ON PURPOSE!

Miss a single toll -- or have your transponder glitch for ONE SECOND -- and the toll authorities launch a calculated fee avalanche designed to squeeze every last dollar out of you. Here is EXACTLY how they do it:

Original Toll

The actual cost of crossing the toll road. This is all you should owe.

$3.00

Administrative Fee

Charged immediately for processing a missed toll. Half the toll itself -- for what?

$1.50

First Violation Notice Fee

The cost of mailing you a letter. Twelve dollars and fifty cents to send a piece of paper.

$12.50

Additional Administrative Fee

Because one administrative fee was not enough. They charge you AGAIN for more "processing."

$25.00

Second Notice Penalty

You did not respond fast enough to their first fee-laden letter. Now they PUNISH you for it.

$50.00

Civil Penalty

The big stick. A civil penalty that dwarfs your original toll by more than THIRTY TIMES.

$100.00

Collection Fee

Sent to collections. Now a THIRD PARTY piles on their own fees. Your credit score takes a hit.

$50.00+

TOTAL

For a $3 toll!

$242+

THIS IS NOT HYPOTHETICAL -- IT HAPPENED!

In a REAL class action settlement, drivers on the 495 Express Lanes proved that roughly $20 in missed tolls ballooned into $9,000+ in fees and penalties. The result? A $1.35 MILLION settlement against the toll operator.

That case proved what Skip Tollman has been saying all along: toll junk fees are SYSTEMATICALLY designed to turn pocket change into financial devastation. If they did it to those drivers, they are doing it to YOU.

TYPES OF JUNK FEES I FIGHT

EVERY FEE IS A WEAPON -- AND I DISARM THEM ALL!

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING FEES

They charge you $1.50 to $25+ just to "process" a missed toll. Processing WHAT? A computer flagged your plate automatically. There is no human labor, no manual review -- just a system designed to extract money from you the moment anything goes wrong.

LATE PAYMENT PENALTIES

Miss their arbitrary deadline by ONE DAY and the penalties start stacking. These deadlines are designed to be missed -- notices arrive late, payment portals glitch, and customer service lines leave you on hold until the deadline passes.

VIOLATION NOTICE FEES

They charge you $12.50 or more for the privilege of being told you owe money. The notice itself costs pennies to generate and mail, but they treat it as a profit center. Every notice is another fee. Every fee generates another notice.

CIVIL PENALTY ASSESSMENTS

The nuclear option: $100+ PER VIOLATION. A civil penalty that is 30 to 50 times the original toll amount. Courts have found these kinds of penalties constitutionally suspect -- and I use that to DESTROY them.

COLLECTION AGENCY SURCHARGES

Once they ship your account to collections, a new parasite attaches. Collection agencies add 30% to 50% in surcharges. Your $242 debt becomes $350+. Your credit report takes a hit. All because of a $3 toll.

ACCOUNT MAINTENANCE FEES

Some toll authorities charge monthly or annual fees just to KEEP your EZ-Pass account open. Fail to maintain a minimum balance? Fee. Account goes negative? Fee. Want to close your account? You guessed it -- FEE.

TRANSPONDER REPLACEMENT CHARGES

Your transponder dies -- which they ALL do eventually -- and you get charged $25 to $50 for a replacement. Meanwhile, the transponder malfunction that THEY failed to detect caused every violation on your record. You pay for their broken equipment.

THESE FEES ARE NOT JUSTICE -- THEY ARE A REVENUE SCHEME! SKIP SHUTS THEM DOWN!

HOW SKIP KILLS JUNK FEES

MY PLAYBOOK FOR DESTROYING EVERY FEE ON YOUR BILL!

CHALLENGING FEE PROPORTIONALITY

The Eighth Amendment prohibits excessive fines. When a $3 toll generates $242+ in penalties, that ratio is constitutionally suspect. I build proportionality arguments that force toll authorities to justify every penny -- and they CANNOT.

DISPUTING PROPER NOTICE REQUIREMENTS

Toll authorities must provide adequate notice before penalties escalate. Late notices, notices sent to wrong addresses, notices that fail to explain your rights -- I find the procedural failures and use them to VOID the cascading fees.

FIGHTING DOUBLE-CHARGING AND DUPLICATE FEES

Toll systems routinely charge the same toll twice, stack duplicate administrative fees, or bill for both the toll AND a violation on the same crossing. I audit every line item and demand refunds for every duplicate charge.

NEGOTIATING FEE WAIVERS

Even when the underlying toll is valid, the FEES do not have to stand. I negotiate directly with toll authorities and their legal teams to waive administrative fees, reduce penalties, and eliminate collection surcharges. They would rather settle than face me in court.

CLASS ACTION AWARENESS

The $1.35 million settlement against 495 Express Lanes proved that systemic fee abuse is REAL. I track active and potential class actions, connect clients with class counsel when appropriate, and use the threat of class litigation as leverage in individual cases.

PROVING TOLL AUTHORITY ERRORS

Most cascading fee disasters start with a SINGLE toll authority error -- a transponder misread, a system glitch, a billing mistake. I trace the entire fee chain back to its origin and prove that THEIR error caused YOUR fees. When I prove their fault, the whole house of cards collapses.
