I was told a few years ago that I was never allowed to have EZ Pass again, and I have tried to sign up for it twice since then and been denied.

I thought my EZPass was linked to my debit card, but it was actually linked to a credit card that I had canceled, so they were obviously unable to replenish the account. Not long after taking a trip to the Outer Banks and back I got a stack of violations in the mail from various states. When I called to see if the EZPass hadn't registered (I figured the tag was broken), they informed me that my account was drained, closed, and sent to collections several months prior (of course, this was the first time I had heard this news). I had to pay a few hundred dollars in tolls / fees / fines to clear that up, and then pay over $40 for each of the two tags I had. When I questioned that fee, they said it was charged to everyone because they assume that if EZ Pass closes your account that you won't bother to return them. I had to go buy a padded envelope and pay to ship the tags back to EZ Pass, and ~4wks later I got a refund check for the ~$85 I paid for the tags.
