Resumen del cargo
This is a legitimate charge from I-PASS Tolls.
What is the IPASS charge?
A charge labeled 'IPASS' on your bank statement is most commonly associated with the Illinois Tollway’s electronic toll collection system.
If you use Illinois toll roads, your I-PASS account is typically set up to auto-replenish when your balance drops below a certain threshold.
Scams and Phishing Warning
There have been widespread phishing scams involving text messages or emails claiming that recipients owe money for unpaid tolls. Do not click links in unsolicited text messages.
The Illinois Tollway will not request sensitive personal information via email or text. Always go directly to the official website (illinoistollway.com).
- Step 1 Log into your official I-PASS account at illinoistollway.com to view your payment history and see if the charge matches an auto-replenishment.
- Step 2 If you cannot identify the charge, call the official Illinois Tollway customer service center at 1-800-UC-IPASS.
Could this be related to Taiwan?
Yes, 'iPASS' is also the name of a payment service in Taiwan (iPASS MONEY). If you transacted with businesses there, it may be related to that service.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.
Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.
What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?
First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.
How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?
Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
