Consumer Complaint: I received a toll bill from New York MTA XXXX XXXX for a toll dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I received a notice from the MTA that the XXXX $ toll was due and there was a {$5.00} late fee also due. I submitted payment for {$8.00} on XX/XX/XXXX.This check was received and processed by the MTA on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and posted to my checking account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. The MTA did not apply the payment to my account and now says I owe {$53.00}. I have submitted documentation to both TransWorld Systems Inc and the MTA several times, and they have confirmed I sent them proof of payment on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, and XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have contacted customer services at least 3x/week since XX/XX/XXXX, and customer service has transferred be endlessly between violations dept, collections, and tolls.Between TSI and the MTA, they have not been able to get organized and close out this debt. I am told something different each I call, and that it could take an additional 3, 5, or 7 business daystime, but no resolution seems near as this has been ongoing for over a month. I am applying for admission to the NY Bar, and the Bar has requested a final disposition as part of the application process. As this request is still pending at TSI and the MTA, I can not give the NY Bar what it is asking for.

Consumer Complaint: After purchasing products from overseas at XXXX. XXXX sends me a bill for international shipping or something. The bill was extremely irrelevant, ridiculous, and incredibly unnecessary. I refused to pay this bill because I already paid a big amount of money to purchase the products and shipping in the first place anyway, was confused why i needed to pay this bill ... Now they raised {$8.00}, originally {$58.00} now a debt of {$66.00} even though i do n't know where the XXXX they come up with these numbers and XXXX cents change ... I 'm so upset why this type of international law or policy exists.. when consumers are already paying for their shipping. I refuse to pay this unnecessary debt.

Consumer Complaint: I have continually received calls from Transworld Systems about a debt that was paid before it was sent to collection. We found out I was in collection when I received the first call last year. I explained to the XXXX, rude person that debt had been paid. I sent by email a copy of the online banking records. The calls went away for a period of time, only to start again. I have again explained that bill was paid, records were sent and told basically I was a liar. They are calling everyday now. I want it to go away. We pay our bills and deserve to be treated as such
