According to the Secretary of State's office, I can't renew my license plates because the renewal has been suspended by Ipass. I called Ipass & they informed me that I owe them $23,000 for toll violations. I asked how much were the tolls they claimed I missed were and was told $204.00. My Ipass account has money on it and not only am I being told "Oh Well", I am not allowed to dispute it in person because they state I am too late to do so, I explained to them that I need my vehicle to work & they offered a "work out" of over $3200.00. I offered to pay the missed tolls & despite having an Ipass account, they say no. Ipass "collectors" refuse to allow me to goto the arbitrator or follow their statement that if u have an ipass u just have to pay the tolls. They told me I can file an appeal, but I have to pay a fee and it goes to a department and it could take 60 days. I need my vehicle so I can work. I went back to Secretary of State & was told they can't do anything. They give people convicted of DUI's a special license to get to & from work but they have no ability for someone to renew their plates when there is a dispute over outrageous fees charged by a department of the government that has no oversight. It is wrong that the Secretary of State has no ability to allow for disputes to be addressed and that we, as citizens, are found guilty and sentenced without any ability to dispute suspensions & be able to work. This is my only vehicle & I can't afford to not drive to & from work.
