Toll Charge for a car I used to own

Well let me update you on the situation. I rang that very day and explained my case to the guy over the phone who I must say very polite and understanding. He told me that he would put the charge on hold until the system was updated and the I shouldn't hear from them again.

Over a month later I recieved a letter saying I now owed up to €68 and that an external company had been employed to collect the money from me. So I rang eflow again and explanined the situation and that I was under the impression the issue had been dealt with. The operator said that he would ensure to fix the matter.

Last week (Another month wait) I recieved a letter from eflow sayin the transaction was still valid as the date of sale they believe is three days after what it actually was(15th of July). They also told me that they were no longer dealing with the issue as it had been sent on to a solicitors office who I was told would be contacting me shortly. (wtf?)

So I contacted the vechicle registration crowd in Clare, who confirm that the vechicle date of sale was the 12th, the date of the toll. I am now awaiting the letter from them so I can send it on to eflow and their solicitors who will probably send me letter demanding over €140.

At times I wondered maybe I should have paid that initial €6 and have been done with it but why should I. It was no longer my car, I wasnt driving and I shouldn't be paying for anyone elses toll.

I cannot express enough my anger and frustration of eflow who when told me everything was fine on 2 ocassions then proceeded increasing the fine and then followed up with legal proceedings, recieved incorrect information quoting a incorrect date from their database. As a normally mild mannered person who never had any bad dealings with the Gardaí, I found the situation extremely stressfull and upsetting.
