I-PASS Computer System Hits Snafu

I-PASS users could see unexpected activity in their bank accounts.

The Illinois Tollway's I-PASS system erroneously began a cycle of account charges and refunds on Dec. 9 to I-PASS accounts that were scheduled for automatic balance replenishment.   As a result, I-PASS customers may notice unnecessary charges and refunds from the Illinois Tollway on their credit and debit cards.   Tollway officials are working to ensure that all I-PASS automatic replenishment accounts have been correctly refunded.
