Do you think that this person drove on the road and thought that they would not charge him? <br /><br />Sorry, not logical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-86985356558092697192016-05-31T09:15:51.446-05:002016-05-31T09:15:51.446-05:00A man moved to Alta.

He actually had to go to court and even then had to pay too much because of his legal bills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-43802008814643696062016-05-31T08:13:46.099-05:002016-05-31T08:13:46.099-05:00I use the 407 and this is why. I travel from Auro...I use the 407 and this is why. I travel from Aurora to the west end of Mississauga everyday. I am to start work at 8am. I leave home at 7 and most days arrive at or slightly before 8. I take King Road to 400, 400 to 407 and 407 to highway 10. From there, I go through various back streets to my office building. This costs me about $8 each way. My salary equates to around $50/yr. <br /><br />If I was to change my route to King Road to 400 to 401 to highway 10, I would have to leave at 6:30 at the latest. So, an additional 30 minutes = $25. So, the $16 round trip is well worth my time. <br /><br />There are those that think that I am an "entitled" but that is not the case, I feel that my time is worth something and I could care less who owns it. I pay my bill every month and when I have had a problem with billing they were quick to fix it. <br /><br />For those that have issues, I feel they are due to their own issues. Pay the bill and there will be no problems.

The provincial gov't are just jackasses for allowing this to go on. Another example of government lack of accountability. They couldn't have been that stupid. That "lease" was a gift handed over to some friends.

She owed 407 some money for use in the past. The bills started coming for her and we sent them to her estate. The bills kept coming and one day we opened one. What had started out as an already expensive bill had mushroomed with fees and interest. It was huuuuuuge. We phoned 407, we wrote 407. They hired a collection agency. We got a clipping of her death notice and sent That to 407. The bills kept coming, people came to the door and bothered the post office. It took more than 2 years for them to admit the lady was totally dead.<br /> Be careful if you drive on the 407 - pay your bills Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-41934942656424842992016-05-30T10:55:22.005-05:002016-05-30T10:55:22.005-05:00I have never and will never be on the 407. I'v...I have never and will never be on the 407. I've boycotted this highway since the sale. People will not only continue to use this highway but are willing to pay whatever it costs. They don't care! And that's why we continue to have all levels of government doing whatever they want with no consequences. Heck! We rewarded the Liberals with a majority government in the last election. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
