SOUTH BAY EXPRESSWAY ERRONEOUS NOTICE OF TOLL EVASION San Diego, California
South Bay Express(SBE) sent me a notice of toll evasion for $2.50, dated 6Jan2012. According to their record I did not pay the amount, and now I am charge with a total fee of $62.50. I am definitely not in agreement that I owe them that amount. I barely use this highway because I do not need it on my daily commute.
On Dec 26, 2011, at around 6PM, we entered the toll and honestly paid as we exit. As we exit, I slowed down and tried to drive as close as I can to reach the machine to pay. I was not able to get that closed so I opened my door, reached and fed two 1-dollar bills, and dropped two quarters on the basket. The lights went green then quickly turned to red. I proceeded thinking it was a system error. Well, with this notice, I believed it is a system error.
I challenge SBE to look at their log, validate the amounts received against the number of vehicles, and review the videos attached overhead.
