NC man charged hundreds of dollars for tolls in three states after license plate manipulated

A Clayton man got charged hundreds of dollars worth of tolls for driving in states that he says he’s not responsible for. The bills came with pictures that showed a truck, passing through tolls in Maryland, New York, and New Jersey.

When Greg Underhill got the bills, he thought, “Maybe this is a scam.” Underhill says he felt it was a scam as his trailer which has the tag was parked in his driveway at his Clayton home.

“When I went to the DMV, they acted like this never happened before. I was like, there’s no way.”

Underhill’s wife Temperance got involved and says she called the numbers on the toll bills from New York, New Jersey, and Maryland. “I attempted to reach them, got in the on the hold loop, never got to speak to anybody. One time I was on hold for 27 minutes.

Maybe this is a scam.

“The unpaid toll bills then got turned into collections. “I think New Jersey’s over $600 now with the fees, the late fees. New York was over $200 and I think Maryland was under $100 so it was close to $1,000 for all of it,” she tells ABC11.
