Florida's toll by plate payment portal has been consistently broken or unavailable, and Sun Pass and the Florida Department of Transportation have not *****ed leniency on repayment timelines despite this. Despite multiple attempts over the course of the month of February to pay a 6.92 toll accrued on 2/28, both online and via phone, I was unable to repay my toll until today, 3/25. I called the number posted on their enforcement invoice 7 times with the intention of paying but the call was ended without allowing me to enter my information online. Additionally, I attempted to submit my information on their website 5 times before I was finally today able to successfully complete my transaction. By the time I was able to pay, $3.50 had been added to my bill in late fees. This amounts to a 50% late fee that was charged despite being their infrastructure being unable to accept my payment after 12 separate attempts. In addition to a refund for this late charge, resolving this complaint will require that Sun Pass and **** conduct an audit of all other instances of fraudulent overbilling and refund all others impacted, and ***** deadline extensions to future toll enforcement charges when their own infrastructure is not equipped to receive a charge.Business Response

In August of 2023 I received a bill from SunPass, for my car license plate, totaling $472.33. I paid the total via ****** and I have a record of this payment on Aug 11, 2023. SunPass said my account was in good standing after that. *** had the same license plate all this time. I also have the SunPass transponder in my car and I keep my account paid. Randomly, out of the clear blue, SunPass suddenly sent me a bill for $454.55. I called them because its clearly an error, my account has been in good standing for over a year and I have never changed license plates. The person on the phone told me the charge was from 2022 or 2023. I told her I paid over 472 dollars in Aug of 2023, and she pulled it up in her system. She then said she cant help me because she doesnt know why the charge is there, just that its old, and I needed to contact them via email for help. I did so; and I received and email back stating my inquiry was closed, but nothing was done and no one ever spoke to me!!! I disputed this charge with my bank and they proved its invalid. Now SunPass is AGAIN trying to bill me and there is a -430$ balance in my account and I need help because this is a completely bogus charge and no one there is willing to help me or fix it. Please take this charge off my account. Remove this erroneous charge.Business Response

I've answered emails from ******* J ****** (Special Resolution Department - Sunpass) two times. It seems he has spam filters activated against my email domain, because he is not receiving my responses.
On his first e-mail, ******* offered to intervene with **** on my behalf. I tried answering him, accepting his help and sending him the info he asked (Toll receipts and rental agreement), but it seems he is not receiving my responses.
Can BBB forward him the files in annex.
Thanks,
**** ******

I have been a ******* resident since 2004. Have lived at the same address since 2004. I have paid for multiple Sunpass for 22 years.The association that we live in made a contract before homes were sold that we had special requirements that had a discounted plan. *************** Annual Pass 1. ******************** may not be done online. 2. Physical proof of residency must be presented at time of purchase and renewed annually.3. Pass must be purchased in person at ********************* #1.Associated to a transponder The vehicle is associated to a transponder and receives the pass benefit Can buy up to 5 passes for $15. (Each additional pass will cost $15)Eligible for free sticker transponder Proof of residency required The "Resident" Pass is only available to residents of ************, ************** and properties behind **************, ************* and BaCopa Properties.I had checked off all the special requirements, they told me, no that I couldnt purchase the passes, I had to purchase 5 transponders for $16.00 a piece. (Special requirements:Eligible for free sticker transponder, she responded 1 sticker, had to have an upper management sign off on it but she wasnt available. Nowhere does it state that you have to buy 5 transponders from Sunpass. The structure of Floridas toll system makes it impractical to deal with their employees as well as Sunpass app, 800 # etc. yet they can send your unpaid tolls in to the *** and put a hold on your registration. They have my address they know this tag was on my acct and continued to send to collections. This should be illegal. They change rules frequently with no communication. The do computer upgrades it messes up peoples accts, they never fix it. You as a Sunpass holder have to pay for their mistakes and no remorse. It needs to be addressed. They shouldnt have that much power.Business Response
