Motorhome owner fined for unpaid toll 6 years later

In May 2026, French motorhome owner Michel received a letter from Italian debt collection company Nivi S.p.A. demanding €119.36 for an unpaid toll in Genoa from September 2020. Michel claims he paid €80.50 on the spot and provided bank statements as evidence. Under Italian law, the statute of limitations for such debts is 10 years, and EU Directive 2019/520 has facilitated cross-border data exchange, leading to an increase in such claims years after travel.
