Slidell Area Attorney Can Help You Fight Unpaid Toll Violations

So let’s say you’ve missed a few tolls in Slidell or some where else, and neglected to pay them. Not such a big deal, right? Well, you actually may be in more trouble than you think. Imagine you owed a paltry $5 in tolls. If you forget to pay within a 30 day window, you’ll be assessed a $2.50 late fee, and given another 15 days to pay. After a late notice, you’ll receive a violation invoice with a further $8.25 administrative fee per toll. This is followed by collection service, which includes a $25 administrative fee per toll. Next comes Department of public Safety (DPS) citations (another $25 per toll administrative fee) and justice of the peace courts (again, a further $25 administrative fee, this time along with civil penalties and court costs).  All figured, missing a $5 toll and forgetting to pay for six months can cost you well over $250. The worst part is that you may find yourself with  a warrant for your arrest. Call Jack Byno & Associates for more information at 817-685-0912.
