Unscrupulous Business Practices
I received a letter from SouthwestCredit saying that I owed the North Texas Tollway Authority $206.93. Funny thing: I don't live in North Texas. I live in San Antonio. So, unless the NTTA is now collecting tolls in South Texas, I find in surprising that they are accusing me of a violation, and secondly have reported me to a collection agency to handle this purported violation having never contacted me directly. I realize that the economy is tough nowadays, but that doesn't give me the right, as a business owner or governmental agency, to file false charges. The last time I checked, this was still America, and as such had the right to face our accusers and know of our charges.
Or, perhaps, Dallas' NTTA has decided to secede from the Union. Either way, I wish someone would let me know. However, since I can't get either NTTA or SouthwestCredit to return any of my communique, I suppose I'm left with my only recourse being something that will make my high school English teacher smile and quote Shakespeare: A PLAGUE ON BOTH YOUR HOUSES!

Violation
I received a letter from Southwest Credit saying I owe the Tollway Authority $187. I never got a bill in the mail from North Texas Tollway. When I called NTTA, the woman on the phone said they sent out 2 letter to inform me, however I never got any letter. They added on all these fees then sent the letter straight to collections. She also threatened me, saying if I didnt pay this outstanding balance there would be an arrest warrant put out for me. I know for a fact they can't do this bacause they would have to summons me to court first, but it makes me angry that some people would fall for that. I have great credit, I have paid all my bills before the due dates and never had an outstanding balance, so I would have paid my toll had I know about it. Now this has gone to my credit and will affect me for the next few years?? It is getting out of hand and someone has to stop them. They are sneaky the way they do this because many people would rather pay the bill then pay court and lawyer fees.
