Informe de Robo de Transpondedor y Cargos No Autorizados en E-ZPass

Explicación Simple

Si alguien roba tu dispositivo E-ZPass, puedes reportarlo a la policía y a la autoridad de transporte. Esto te ayudará a no pagar peajes que alguien más use sin permiso.

Es como si alguien tomara prestado tu tarjeta de crédito sin que tú lo supieras. Si lo reportas a tiempo, no tienes que preocuparte por los gastos que esa persona haga.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Ana se da cuenta de que su transpondedor E-ZPass ha desaparecido. Ella lo reporta a la policía y a la autoridad de transporte dentro de dos semanas. Luego, ve cargos extra en su cuenta y también los reporta. Gracias a esto, Ana no tiene que pagar esos peajes que no usó.
