Ipass transponder didn't expire for 4 months but battery died wasn't picked up for 2 weeks . 2 months after trip I get an outrageous bill in the mail . Submitted forms, my ipass account and transponder numbers, and evidence for appeal would gladly pay the tolls minus the 20 dollar per occurance penalty. Of course their private in-house mediator sided with them but I can now appeal to the DuPage county circuit court. After speaking to an asa in DuPage county I found out the Illinois Tollway Authority runs as a private business it's not an actual state agency it's all privately owned. If that's true I would love to know on what authority the Illinois Secretary of State gives them the information tied to my license plate without a warrant.
