I just got a call from NJ EZpass and she confirmed that they are making money on our money in the way of interest. All our money is put into a giant account and they make a lot of money on our hard earned money!
She had nothing to say on why they send me fines and threaten to close my account when I have a negative balance but are absolutely fine to require a positive balance to travel the toll roads efficiently. I said, "So its okay to borrow my money but when I go negative and borrow your money, its against the rules and you send me fines and excessive fees?"
There was silence and she said, "I guess so."
The entire EZ Pass business is a scam and a monopoly. We all need to speak up and require them to change this ridiculous billing practice. They are not a bank...they can change this unfair billing but they just don't want to.
