So I received 1 collection notice for a toll that was not mine. In the collection notice it says that the toll is for a license plate number that used to belong to me 11 years ago. I called up the toll authority (Which is a maddening process in itself) to ask them what this was all about. And they told me that they sent me to collections because I never paid the bill that I was mailed. I told them I never received the bill, and asked them for a copy. They sent me one, and the mailing address they used for an address I used to live at 15 years ago. So of course I never got this bill. They showed me a very blurry photo of the plate going though a toll and the plate number certainly looks like it matches a plate number that I used to have. However the car itself is not visible in the picture. They (the toll authority) is adamant that this is my license plate and that this bill is my responsibility. I also logged into their online toll system and had a look, and it looks like there are roughly 25 to 30 more unpaid tolls all from last month that are all going to come my way as well. I called the DMV and asked them for help, and asked them if they could erase or somehow decouple that plate # from my name from their database permanently. They told me they could not, and to take up the problem with the toll authority. It takes 1/2 an hour just to get through to somebody at the toll authority and when you actually get ahold of somebody they don't give a shit one way or the other and they simply say pay the bill or we send you to collections plus notify the DMV so I can not renew my license. This is in FL if it matters. What do I do here, contact the attorney general or go to court?
