It is your responsibility to have your plates registered correctly, I'll explain how the system works, When you go through a toll with an IPASS and the Ipass picks up it automatically tracks to the account in which the transponder is attached to, if your transponder doesn't catch (whether it was improperly mounted or not in the vehice) this is the part were the plates come into play, the system takes a picture of your plates and attempts to search all accounts for your plate, however your plate was not listed as a truck plate as it should so the computer red it plate as not having any IPASS account, at this point it is deemed unpaid for and the tollway requests the registration info for this plate, sounds like your registration was not updated with the Sec. of state, which is simple to do online at cyberdriveillinois dot com. that is the ONLY mailing address they have on file to find you so logically they mailed the notice there, at this point your mail should either be forwarded or should have been returned as bad mail if that's the case they don't escalate your fines they place them on hold, however if it wasn't it's considered received. Once you go past the 35 day window you are no longer allowed to pay for your tolls you know must pay a settlement, if the tollway didn't do this people would just never pay their tolls because there would be no repercussion if they didn't, you gotta have some kinda late fine. Not paying will result in raising fines and suspension of your IPASS, DL, and Registration. As for the pot hole you can charge the state for this, I believe that is through IDOT not the tollway however, but contact IDOT and request additional info.

You actually do have a right to present the entity in charge of the road with the bill for the pothole! Look into this!
