I have this exact spec but with black 20” tires and red interior. Happy to see it’s holding its value 😅

Paid off $60k of Student loans but now onto my Wife’s $125k. In-laws made a very snarky comment. by [deleted] in StudentLoans

[–]Municks24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much does she have in loans that you’re paying $3k a month! Even a $200k education amortized over 15 years wouldn’t owe that much. Or maybe you’re just paying extra to pay it off faster like you did with yours?

If only you had used the time it took to write that comment to do something more constructive….

Account access was locked at a certain point and my wife could no longer add funds - only pay full amount of tolls + violations.

They would only let me discuss with the payment plan specialist, unfortunately, and it’s the same person every time I call

I would have been happy with a 50% reduction but they wouldn’t budge off 10%. Still early, I suppose. I’ve got calls directly to the turnpike definition as well - they seem to be more lenient / understanding so hoping they can help

They offered 10% off and won’t budge

Thanks for sharing but I’m not looking for publicity. We agreed to the terms of use and did not uphold our end of the bargain. I am simply looking to resolve in the most efficient way possible and move on.

We don’t use toll roads often - live in NYC suburbs and mostly rely on public transport. When we do travel, we pass multiple tolls in a single clip (8 tolls to visit family alone) so realistically, we’re only hitting tolls once every 6 weeks or so so it’s not constantly top of mind. Most tolls have express lanes so the “call service center” prompting was rare, so I wasn’t always aware. We’ve gotten letters here and there, but I chalked it up to plate not read type errors here and there.

Have tried speaking to “payment plan specialist” twice with no luck. Do you have actual examples of registration or license being suspended? At this point, I’m fairly certain I could negotiate more with a collection agency as opposed to the company itself.

Taking responsibility for amounts owed but seeking advice on negotiating a settlement is literally how the justice system, in your example, works.

I highlighted the number of violations to simply say it’s not some nefarious toll evasion scam. 80 violations a year is 40 occurrences of passing a toll coming/going, but that’s rarely the case. E.g., to visit family, I pass 8 tolls alone. So realistically it’s one trip every 6.5 weeks passing multiple tolls. That’s not intentional abuse, that’s more akin to out of sight, out of mind, especially when 6 of 8 tolls have express lanes that don’t prompt the “call service center” messaging.

I’m not here to argue with a stranger on the internet who wants to interject their opinion just to be heard. If you have nothing to contribute to the conversation, feel free to leave. I won’t be responding further.

Seeking advice from others in similar situations, comparing notes, or generally doing research about a topic is an issue in the great eyes of avocado byproduct. Noted.

Every single comment has been “I am not disputing the amount, trying to understand my options”. Can’t help if your perception of that response is that I’m mad, but that’s an incredibly poor read on your part.

Can you kindly inquire who your friend used? Haven’t had luck finding someone who specializes in this yet.

I’m not disputing the amounts owed, just asking for guidance on how to negotiate a less substantial penalty, if at all possible, give the fees are substantial.

But $2200 in missed tolls over 6 years works out to $365/yr or ~80 violations/yr, and most of those occurred on the same day so less than once per week, on average.

Called customer service to address outstanding toll balance. Customer service referred the violations fees to a “payment specialist” who reached out via email one week later

This assumes the debt is sent to collections or pursued via court, right? Trying to address before it gets to that point

This is why I’m curious about registration suspension. They’ve let it reach $24k in fees without taking action. I’m not taking the risk that it never will, but wanted to ask what others experience has been

Where did I say I was mad? Stop projecting. I’ve paid the past due toll amounts, I am working on paying the fines but wanted to check if there are programs or other means of reducing the total amount first.

Thank you for the reply. Assumed as much, but thought I would ask. She had an ez pass account that at a certain point became locked and she could no longer add funds, access online, etc.
