I just rec'd a 407 bill for 11,455.00 I have not used the 407 highway in over 10 years.
I think the original bill was 1000.00 and now have 10,000.00 interest charges.
Can anyone tell me if you can dispute the interest cahrges ?

Thanks

Greg

Have you contacted them to dispute, that would be your first option. After that they do have a department to try and work out hardship when you owe over 1000 dollars


407 ETR - Payment Plan




407 ETR offers an Exceptional Hardship plan to assist customers that have accumulated significant outstanding tolls and fees and who would suffer “exceptional hardship” through the denial of their vehicle licence plate.

The plan will permit a customer to pay an outstanding amount over a period, rather than all at once.

Qualification for the plan is at the sole discretion of 407 ETR. All decisions are final, binding and not subject to appeal.

To be eligible, you must meet certain criteria, including:

Owing more than $1,000
Having no alternative vehicle
Proving that your loss would be immediate, significant and lasting
In addition, a customer must show either of the following:

That denial of the licence plate would be a threat to the health and safety of a person ordinarily transported by the vehicle; or
That you would suffer “exceptional hardship” if your plate were to be denied
The plan is not available to customers for whom the following apply:

Alternative transportation is available, including public transportation
Arrangements can be made to do without the vehicle that is subject to plate denial
Renting or finding a replacement vehicle is possible
The outstanding amount is less than $1,000
The customer has qualified for the plan before and has failed to honour their commitments
If you think you meet the criteria outlined above, you could be eligible for 407 ETR’s plan. Please click here to download an application form and fill it out.

Effective May 1, 2009, 407 ETR will be charging a $30.00 Application Processing Fee. All application fees will be applied towards the 407 ETR account.

Completed applications can be mailed or hand-delivered to:
