Yup. It was our car, and we did earn the tolls but they couldn't find it under my name when we called and no bill ever came to the house until that one that was nearly $400; all thanks to the flubbed title work. I also had a similar incident to what TAM experienced (same car btw) and called the guy who bought it and he swore up and down they sent in the registration. The NTTA lady walked me through the process of filing the transfer with DMV online. It can be a mess.sunny beach wrote:So you're saying the toll violations were not under your name?Dragonfighter wrote:I can't speak for the OP but here is what happened to me.

We use the 121 tollway a couple of times and no bills. I get nervous and call NTTA and find out there is nothing under my name or address. A few months later I receive a bill for approx $18 worth of tolls and over $350 in fines and late fees. I get on the phone with NTTA and as I am talking to them, I notice the bill has the wrong name and address on it

Re: Will outstanding Tolls disqualify me?
I can't speak for the OP but here is what happened to me. I bought a used car from an incompetent, dishonest used car lot (redundant?). Anyway the title arrives and I open the envelope see it's in there and toss it in the firebox.
We use the 121 tollway a couple of times and no bills. I get nervous and call NTTA and find out there is nothing under my name or address. A few months later I receive a bill for approx $18 worth of tolls and over $350 in fines and late fees. I get on the phone with NTTA and as I am talking to them, I notice the bill has the wrong name and address on it but the right car (how it ever found my house I do not know, I guess it had just enough information). I am arguing with them about it and eventually get a one time courtesy waiver and find out that the DMV had the wrong information. I go look at the title and sure enough, it has my first and middle name and a partial but incomplete address.
I had to call the DMV and get it all corrected. I guess the point is, the OP could very well turn around one day and have a bill from NTTA worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars by something as simple as a clerical error. Yup, pay your tolls but if you and even the NTTA can't find the information, then what else are you supposed to do.
FWIW, I bought toll tags for everyone in my household.
