407 Electronic Theft Road

I have an on going dispute with the 407,they claim I owe them $250.00 plus dollars meanwhile I've never been on their highway,go figure@!These people are ruthless they use tactics that are designed to batter people into giving them money,even if you don't owe them anything.If you dibeleive this case in point THEY HARRASED A MAN IN OAKVILLE,ONTARIO TO THE POINT "HE TOOK HIS OWN LIFE"as reported in the Toronto Sun>IT WAS LATER DICOVERED IT WAS NOT EVEN HIS BILL THAT THE 407 WAS HARRASING HIM OVER!How many people just actualy give them the small amount the 407 claims they owe them JUST TO AVOID THE HARASMENT 407 BILL COLLECTERS USE,IF YOU IGNORE THEM THEIR SERVICE CHARGES AND INTEREST COMPOUND RAPIDLY,SO IN MOST CASES IT'S JUST SIMPLY MORE CONVIENIENT TO PAY THEM!EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T YOUR BILL TO BEGIN WITH!YET IF I TRIED TO EXTORT MONEY FROM SOMEBODY I WOULD BE CHARGED UNDER THE CRIMINAL CODE OF CANADA."EXTORT THATS A PRETTY BIG CHARGE"well to demand money from someone that you can't prove used yor service"i.e.can't produce the image of the said licence plate"WOULD THAT NOT CONSITUTE EXTORTION WHEN YOU THREATEN TO DESTROY THAT INDIVDUAL'S CREDIT RATING?WOULD THAT NOT BE LIKE WALKING BY A TIM HORTON'S AND HAVNG THE CLERK COME OUT AND SAY YOU OWE ME FOR A DOUBLE/DOUBLE?"TIP IF YOU DO OWE THE 407 AND YOU CAN'T RENEW YOR PLATES TELL THE MINISTRY OF TRANSPORTATION YOU LOST ON PLATE,407 DOES NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO NEW PLATE ISSUE.

hi james

got one better for you...yes, the ministry will deny new plates for 407 bill holders. Much to my surprise when I tried that route. I can't even get a temporary permit in my name. All of this because 407 is trying to extort almost $9,000 from me with no proof or breakdown of the figures. Yes, you read correctly. Nine thousand dollars!

I might also mention this is from a plate from 6 years ago. When confronted, they told me that they couldn't product proof I owe it because they archive their info every three years! They threatened my credit record and I basically told them I could have the credit bureau erase their comments if they can't PROVE it. At the end, the whole situation came down to this: "You lose! You just have to pay or you won't get plates! Ha ha ha!" Well, f**k them! I got a plate JOINT with my common law spouse...a new RIN is created at the Ministry who won't deny my non-owing spouse a plate and I'm happily driving again.

However, I now face
a) bankruptcy to erase this debt. Not a huge deal as I don't really own anything. However, it is a tick-off because my credit is fairly decent....or
b) thousands in legal fees to force this comglomerate to produce proof.

Either way, these chumps are forcing me to pay money I don't owe and shouldn't have to put out.

I'm really sick, though, of the automated collection calls and the violation of MY rights by MY government. No personal creditor should have the right to use the government as a collection agency. What's next...someone owes a bill for prescription drugs and can't get treated by a doctor under OHIP?

Think about it.

Good luck on the ongoing fight!

I'll tell you whats next these "FU%@R'S just one upped us, now if you have outstanding parking tickets,(porven or not) the same deal applies .
Big brother is allowing the MTO to disallow new plates until these are paid.
Hey if you forgot you had one a gentle reminder would be nice, but they insist on their gestapo tactics to get "PAID".
I was just refused plates for tickets from a city I've never been to "my car neither".
I sn't there some way we can fight back this is getting ridiculous..

IGNORANCE OF THE LAW

From an early age we are taught to listen to people of authority our parents teachers etc they know best in the younger years this is good advice.But as we age we should be wary of this line of thought.Some police officers will give you that age old line IGNORANCE OF THE LAW IS NO EXCUSE FOR BREAKING IT!But deep down he or she are praying you are ignorant of the law,case in point that traffic ticket he or she is writing you if you are ignorant of the law they are hoping you will just pay it.Traffic tickets are a cash cow for law enforcement and in other instances a way to go fishing for information like WHERE ARE YOU GOING OR COMING FROM it is none of their business where you have been or going,Ride checks have you ever been asked those same questions at a ride check again none of their business.In fact the SUPREME COURT has ruled once it has been identified as a ride check it is not authorizing an open invitation for fishing expedition of information.Should be have you been drinking t

407 E.T.R.

An update to earlier posts on the Electronic Theft Road just spoke to a service represenative from the Theft Road over a bill I just received I asked if I could receive the image of the plate that is alleged to have been used to travel the 407!GUESS WHAT THEY CAN'T PRODUCE THAT IMAGE"SURPRISE SURPRISE"WOULD THAT NOT BE LIKE A CREDIT CARD COMPANY DEMANDING PAYMENT FOR AN ALLEGED BILL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO PRODUCE SOME FORM OF PROOF YOU ACTUALY OWE THAT BILL?How many people just pay these bills to escape the harrassment of the 407,when the bill is not even theirs to begin with?One would be better off to let the 407 or their merry band of collection agencies(NOR-DON INCLUDED)to take them to small claims court and produce their proof you actualy used their highway.PRODUCE THE IMAGE OF THE PLATE # OR SHUT UP!WE CAN ALL THANK MIKE HARRIS AND THE CONSERVATIVE PARTY FOR THIS FIASCO.AND IF ONE LOOKS AT THE FRONT ROW OF STEPHEN HARPERS CAUCUS WE STILL HAVE ABOUT FOUR OF THEM STILL
