Is video matching fee some kind of scam charge?

Erica A

I've got some lost very old tags on my linkt account. Does anybody know how long before linkt removes them from your account? Or will Linkt chase me for the $15 for each tag until I enter my grave?

Until death and beyond. I believe the river Styx now has the same toll road with the same call center for ‘help’

So ive been charged tolls that i haven't traveled just wondering if anyone else has had this problem

Yes, I was nowhere near toll roads the night in question, and I even have video footage of my car in my driveway. And yet, they're also charging 'video matching' fees! What an absolute joke. These guys are scamming Australians, and should be investigated urgently. Please report to scamwatch.gov.au

If you just continually waste their time on the phone they will eventually cut their losses. Call the resolutions australian team. they are actually more evil than the Philippines team but all good. They understand when to cut their losses if you continually play games with them, like they do to us, have fun with it, dont get angry just be a massive smarta$$ Just keep calling in. Works for me every time. Sometimes they do get very arrogant and stubborn and often disrespectful But if you play the long game they definitely fold.

I want to know my annual tolls cost. Does Transurban send out this info at EOY?

Ben A.
Ben A.

Don't ever pay an invoice fee, ring them up and tell them you refuse to pay and they will drop it. I have done this many times....and if a smug Australian answers the phone, hang up and try again. It is not legal for them to increase the fees so much. Remember most of the court cases in Vic and NSW are to do with LINK, the magistrates are sick of it and the Police do to have the power to fine you for every trip you havnt paid for, that's just laughable/

Kester
Kester  

Say for example if I do call them and told them I'm not going to pay, how does one confirm that the case is/will be dropped? Just wanting to be safe, and not have them come back at me after 10 yrs with a lawsuit. What do you mean "drop"? Will that be forfeited?

Ben A.
Ben A.  

What I mean is that I say ill pay my bill but I will not pay the invoice fee as it is barely legal. They usually always let me off.

How come tolls for m5 taken out my account nothing comes back in and you cannot ring to ask a question. I am 74 and fed up

Nicola J.

Ongoing issues with the M5 cashback. Are the issues listed here still unresolved? How long can I expect to wait??

Jap

Sorry, but have no idea how long this will take. Given everything I have been told, your best bet is to keep calling them, otherwise they will just sit on it and do nothing.

why is a small truck that may be just over 4.5 tonne GMV slugged the same toll as a B Double or a 150 tonne crane truck or greater? I have a small 2 axel tray with a 4 tonne carrying capacity under your classification it’s a heavy commercial vehicle this is a blatant rip off

Because they can blatantly gouge motorists with full protection from the Government who sold our roads to this private company along with providing them access to government debt collection services to ensure they get the dough.

I would like to know when I'm getting my refund has been approved to be payed by 7/1/20 Still nothing I have read some very disturbing forum letters does your company care at all?

Trisha W.

Linkt has overcharged my son twice in a week. Taking $40 each time is breaking him making him poor or in debit. Is a refund easy? He cannot afford this. I feel bad having suggested Linkt. Will have to cancel and go back to Etag

Karen
Karen  

No refunds are not easy but you need to push it anyway. Jump on their website and write a complaint. Youll be allocated a person which is easier than dealing with the muppets on the phones. They are a terrible company!

Can anyone help me as Im trying to find out if there was a glitch with linkt back January 2019 causing people to be over charge.....?

Tamara T
Tamara T  

Their whole system is a glitch! Yes what was happening was you would be charged their "suggested amount" rather than the amount you wanted to be charged. Happened to me twice so now I only put credit on my account for the specific amount I'll need when I plan to travel on toll roads.

Amanda B.
Amanda B.

Is anyone else changing suggested amount to pay, and Linkt still taking out their suggested amount?. For example. They want $65, So you change it to $45. Confirm $45 And then you get a receipt for $65 taken out of account. This has happened to me numerous times, I have rang and complained but nothing changes, I just get told the same thing. A note put on my account. That maybe I should just ring to make certain what I want is taken out. I now screen shot every step when I pay as evidence. But surely I am not the only one

Stacey C.
Stacey C.  

This has happened to me as well. Incredibly frustrating! The amount I entered would have covered my bill and put me in credit. But it took the amount "they" suggested. I called them and asked them to transfer back the remaining money they stole. But then they kept saying that was what I owed. When I said I wanted a statement of all my trips to justify the amount I supposedly owed, they couldn't come up with it. I HATE this company! It has caused us nothing but problems. I ordered a new tag as well because we were getting charged 'matching fees' and guess what the new tag doesn't work either (and yes we put it in a different spot). I just avoid the tolls at all costs otherwise it comes at our cost.

Tamara T
Tamara T  

Definitely happened to me. I used only top my account up enough to cover the tolls I planned on using and somehow it was never enough. Likely because they double charged multiple times for god knows what reason. Also told me I had a faulty tag, which wouldn't have been obvious given the tag beeped the correct amount of times when I would cross. Now I refuse to use Toll roads except to go to Brisbane airport and I again make sure I'll only top up what is required for me to cross the bridge. Seems that toll keeps rising!

Depends where you’re at and time of flight and how you’re travelling tbh If you’re in city then you’re better off taking the citylink in taxi or Uber

Mel N
Mel N  

Rick, I beg to differ. I would rather have my journey last an extra 10 mins than use the Citylink. There is one point on the M2 where the speed limit is 100km. It is not needed here and Melbourne drivers at the best of times pose a threat to you if you ever have the audacity to change lanes or miss you turnoff. And I was in a hurry the other day and there was a tram in front of us. And what did everybody want to do - overtake it when they could. They are total nuisance.

Does anybody understand the workings of toll collection companies?

Are they simply collecting tolls on behalf of the road/bridge builder? Or have they purchased the debt from the government. If the latter is the case, then monies collected by the southern collection companies, will need to be transferred to the Queensland entity. If it is the former, then maybe they charge a percentage of the collection

in generating their revenue.

I would dearly love to cancel my Linkt account and go with one of the southern companies.

If Linkt have entered into a contract with the Queensland Government to collect tolls, there must be a clause to enable Qld Govt to cancel due to lack of performance. (RATING 1.1 out of 5)

If there is a "Toll Collection God", I hope he/she will send me some advice.

John
John  

There is nothing to understand. Toll companies are run by babbling buffoons who live in gilded cages and have no real concept of reality,

Why can't somebody just put a bomb under the office of linkt and blow the filth away.

Can you use e-way in Queensland?

Robert
Robert  

Yes you can use e-way in Queensland. In fact you can use it in most states. But check the E-way web site first. I have successfully used E-way on Queensland toll roads.

peter JC

can the linktgo mobile phone tag be used in all states of australia

Robert
Robert  

Most tags work on inter-state toll roads. Best to check direct with your provider. If it's Linkt, suggest you consider using a reputable organisation like E-way, Eastlink or any other Australian toll provider EXCEPT Linkt. I read nothing but bad reviews.

Mel N
Mel N  

Of course there is a Linkt option that covers you for all tolls nationally - each state in Australia. Well bad reviews there may be, but we have no choice here.

What other companies provide this service please?

Gaye O
Gaye O  

Other tag providers are E-way (www.tollpay.com.au) or RMS (https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/open-e-toll-account). If you are looking for one that provides good value for money and fantastic customer service I would go E-way. At least when you call them they are based in Sydney and nothing seems to be any trouble.

We went with Eway to avoid the monopoly that Linkt think they have!

If you are in Melbourne you can open an Eastink Account. This covers all tollways in Australia and there are no credit card surcharges. Also, a call centre based at Ringwood.
