last month I took my family to chicago for the first time, I did not know that in every corner there is a toll, any how, after few days i ended up 12 toll violations, I was like not a big deal when i get home I will pay them. after two weeks i received a letter saying my violation is $350 then a two weeks after that went up to $1300. according to them i have only 7 days to pay my violation, I was on the road for 10 days, plus $50 for each one late.....
I called and called they still insiste to pay off the $1300 now or they will suspend my driver license in kansas and screw my credit report.

what Should I do, anyone? wife and I are full time students with two kids. I have no clue how to come up with that amount.

I can't imagine how Illinois can suspend a Kansas driver's license but I'm certainly no expert. As far as your credit report, I see them all the time in my job and I've never seen an entry from a government agency so I'm skeptical of that to. Now, if you don't pay you can bet they will issue a warrant for your arrest in Illinois, which as long as you don't ever encounter law enforcement from Illinois for the rest of your life is no big deal.

Hopefully someone who know more will chime in but I bet I'm right.

Based upon what I have seen on the show, no matter what you say, they wont back down. They will threaten to blow up the sun if it means you will give them the money owed. Now, they obviously cant blow up the sun, and Id doubt there ability to affect any driver license outside of their state. I also dont think they can touch your credit report, as this is a fine and not an actual credit issue.

Start searching the net for answers as there will be many out there. You are not alone with dealing with this BS.

If its any help, I recently had to deal with a collection agency, since I moved and forgot to keep paying off my student loans. I was polite with the collection agency and they have been super helpful, and polite in return.

Did you ask if they will take payments?

What will happen if you don't pay is when your Kansas license expires they will run a check to see if you have any outstanding tickets or fines in any other states. You will have to pay those before they will issue your new license. Ask about a payment plan.

Pay them in nickels.

This. Illinois will suspend your license and it will not affect your current license until you have to renew. You will then be told you need to clear up whatever is pending in Illinois. I have this problem right now in Tennessee/Arkansas. Mine is a DUI from 06 and Arkansas insistence that I complete a driving course that I honestly never knew about. I've never had an Arkansas license. And my TN license is valid until 2013. My H had several violations over the years in several states. He had the same problem with his license. Something to do with Interstate Compact. Do a Google search for the involved states and maybe you can resolve this. But it seems the only way is taking care of whatever they say is wrong.
