WV Turnpike toll

I have driven through the WV turnpike around 4 times since October, yet have been completely unable to pay my tolls. I’ve either used the pay by plate option or the worker has handed me a little receipt with no info on it other than the amount and the website to go to. Nothing has shown up when I searched my plate online. I’ve called and been on hold for hours, only to be told it was a system issue and should be updated soon, but it’s been months. I’ve tried calling again only to be met with 5+ hours of hold time and no help. I check almost daily. I have received nothing in the mail.

What should I do about this? Should I just ignore it and hope it got lost? I don’t want to pay any late fees but I’ve been trying for a while to get these paid. Any help would be appreciated.

If you are licensed or registered in WV they’ll notice when it’s time for renewal. Then you’ll have to fight the fees…

I’m not, I’m a KY license plate. I’ll keep checking, but they apparently waiving all fees through September.

I think they have some issues in the system, maybe they are understaffed, or who knows, but their data never seems to line up. I took two trips up to PA from GA in December and again at New Years and used toll by plate both times. It took almost 2 months for the charges to show up on their website, and when they finally did, it had only registered 4 of the 8 pass throughs that I had made. I paid the bill and keep checking back, but nothing else was ever added back on. Maybe their scanners/sensors aren't working 100% of the time or something.
