407 ETR offers an Exceptional Hardship plan to assist customers that have accumulated significant outstanding tolls and fees and who would suffer “exceptional hardship” through the denial of their vehicle licence plate.
The plan will permit a customer to pay an outstanding amount over a period of time, rather than all at once.
Qualification for the plan is at the sole discretion of 407 ETR. All decisions are final, binding and not subject to appeal.
To be eligible, you must meet certain criteria, including:
- Owing more than $1,000
- Having no alternative vehicle
- Proving that your loss would be immediate, significant and lasting
In addition, a customer must show either of the following:
- That denial of the licence plate would be a threat to the health and safety of a person ordinarily transported by the vehicle; or
- That you would suffer “exceptional hardship” if your plate were to be denied
The plan is not available to customers for whom the following apply:
- Alternative transportation is available, including public transportation
- Arrangements can be made to do without the vehicle that is subject to plate denial
- Renting or finding a replacement vehicle is possible
- The outstanding amount is less than $1,000
- The customer has qualified for the plan before and has failed to honour their commitments
If 407 ETR decides that you are eligible for the plan, conditions may apply, such as:
- Interest on amounts in arrears will continue to accumulate
- The customer must agree not to incur additional 407 ETR charges
- The customer may be required to grant 407 ETR various rights in the customer's assets, such as the customer's vehicle.
If you think you meet the criteria outlined above, you could be eligible for 407 ETR’s plan. Please click here to download an application form and fill it out.
Effective July 1, 2006, 407 ETR will be charging $31.50, incl. GST, as Plan Application Processing Fee. Those customers that are accepted for the plan will have $31.50 credited towards their 407 ETR account.
Completed applications can be mailed or hand-delivered to:
