If you don't want to pay a late fee, pay your bill on time. How is EZPass supposed to know that your registration information is out of date? Sounds like a personal problem

Again, if you kept your registration up to date, and paid the fee on time... This wouldn't be a problem. It's easily avoidable.

I'm sorry you feel ripped off. You should get upset.

Look, is it fair that banks charge between $25-45, when you overdraw your checking account, by a dollar for a coffee or some nebulous purchase? Nope. Do they do it? A million times a day. Does it make people link checking (ez pass) to another account, for overdraft protection or know how much money is ALWAYS available for purchases? Probably. Are the fees you’re being assessed exorbitant? Yep. However, the state is strapped for cash and you can’t expect the state to figure it out. The taxpayer is always going to be in the wrong. It’s Rhode Island at its finest.

It was $30 or $35.

I think you need to look up what the definition of “scam” is. If you check the RI site for tolls. They tell you up front the late fee schedule.

It’s not a scam. The amount is irrelevant.

You are spending more time arguing on Reddit about it being a scam as opposed to just. I dunno. Get an EZ pass and connect it to a credit card. The toll will be paid every time right then and there.
