As mentioned in an earlier thread, my husband received an e-mail from the VPC entitled handover. Amount owing = R173.70.

He did in fact pass though some of the gantries on certain dates, but he never received an SMS in this regard, nor any invoice or photographic proof of his vehicle passing through gantries.

He now asked me to pay this for him. Saddened as I am by this, I am gonna have to do it. He is an adult, it is his vehicle and this is his decision.

So, since he does not have an e-tag and is not a registered user, how do I go about paying this for him? Does one pay at an outlet, a bank, EFT, or what?
 
You should be able to do a direct EFT to the bank account if you received the VPC handover doc.

There is a reference number somewhere on that statement ...
 
I think if you go to an outlet with a card they'll be happy to take some of your money. They don't accept cash.
 
I don't get how they get around to handover without first letting you know how much you owe. Are you supposed to drive around with a calculator and add up all the gantries you pass and then pay at earliest convenience?

R173.70 is enough to spoil yourself on Takealot.

Rather spend the money on something constructive.

Blu, personally, I would wait for the invoice.
But if he is determined to pay it then you should visit an E-toll shop and go pay it there.
Be prepared for long queues though.

Neither do I, and the correct thing IMO would be to query SANRAL for a detailed invoice plus photographic proof of the vehicle passing through the gantries.

It's his choice, though.

I know, I know, if it were me, I would not pay but he asked me to.

There is a reference number on the email, yes, but no bank details. It simply says please contact VPC to arrange payment.

You should get another statement then from VPN themselves: As far as I understand ...

Paying eTol within 7 days or whatever - you have to pay SANRAL, and for that you will need to register something somewhere, probably signed in blood.
Paying after the initial period, if you get a statement from VPC, this has bank accounts for EFT on, as well as a VPC reference number.

You can pay this without sacrificing any small animals [though you don't get the eScam discount] ...
 
By the laws curently, the e-tollies are not obliged to send you photographic proof of each gantry. They merely have to attempt to send you some of them.

They are also not obliged to ensure you get an invoice, the fact that they can prove they sent one is enough.
 
why don't you send them an email insisting on banking information to effect a single payment by EFT
make a direct payment into that account and email the proof of payment and insist on an acknowledgement of payment and that the proper invoice with the photos be sent by post for your records

whatever measure you adopt for payment keep a bloody paper trail and make it clear to them that you are doing so
 
Why don't you return Mr Blu's testicles so that he can make a proper decision?
