Unpaid NTTA tolls can land you in jail.

[Ratt]

If the government is forcibly mandating me to pay it or face arrest, then I attribute it to the government, regardless of if it is "privately" owned.

I see your point, now. The initial post I quoted seemed like you were referring to the NTTA toll-roads as government operated.

No, I'm well aware they are foreign owned, which is even more infuriating.

Have you ever driven anywhere in the North Dallas/Plano/Frisco area? Toll roads have to be used, just about.

Yes, I've lived in Frisco, Plano, Richardson, and Carrollton the entire time I've been in the Dallas area. Midway, Preston, Plano Parkway, Coit, Park, Parker, etc etc are what I use. I don't like paying tolls.

Yesterday I had to be at an appointment at the DNT and Westgrove, I was in a hurry, I took the 121(Hillcrest)-DNT-Keller Springs exit, it cost me $2.14 in total tolls. On the way home I took Westgrove to Preston up to Eldorado to my house, it was FREE! Albeit it took longer, but I didn't have to pay ANY tolls to get home.

FUCK THE MAN!

To me, this equates to shoplifting. So, whatever the law allows there, this should be no different.

theft of service seems more logical.

Pay your fucking debts!

Then the debt should be the amount of the tolls, not the onerous fees that escalate a $300 bill into a $14,000 one.

And as Eric pointed out, we're heading the way of debtors prisons.

Even if you've already paid for the service and they're trying to quadruple bill you?

As being in the business of having borrowers, and having to collect debts, I do understand the practice of having late fees assessed, especially for covering court costs and other collection methods. People don't work for free. Pay your fucking debts or don't use the product. People should not be absolved of their own bad decisions and lack of responsibility. All too often people misdirect the real problem away from themselves by crying fowl on companies and creditors. This woman referenced about is not a innocent victim.

There is nothing worse than a weeping duck, I agree.

Sorry if I caused a rhombus.

I'm not familiar with that expression.

As far as sending someone to jail, I did that yesterday. It happens. There has to eventually be a serious consequence. I had a customer that refused to give me the vehicle. I could see it in his back yard. He wanted to do it the hard way. I filed a writ, he got served, refused to give up the vehicle to police, so he was held in contempt of court and he's in jail right now. It's the same as theft.
