RALEIGH, N.C. — Before paying a bill for a toll online, pay close attention to the web address. Using third-party sites instead of myncquickpass.com costs more money and you can be hit with late fees, even if you paid on time.
Officials with the NC Turnpike Authority tell WRAL’s 5 on Your Side that roughly 4,000 people have recently used a third-party website to pay their bill. Some have done so unknowingly.
Chapel Hill Resident Andrea Jost learned this lesson the hard way.
WCNC Charlotte is always asking "where's the money?" If you need help, reach out to the Defenders team by emailing money@wcnc.com.
Jost does not have an account with NC Quick Pass and pays her bills through the mail. When she received a bill a few months ago, she quickly googled NC Quick Pass to pay it off online.
