Frequently Asked Questions About HRRG (Harris & Harris)
Who is HRRG?
HRRG (formerly Harris & Harris) is a collection agency that specializes in collecting government debts, toll violations, parking tickets, and municipal fines.
Can they collect a toll violation from years ago?
It depends. Many states have statutes of limitations on toll violations and parking tickets. Check your state's law and demand proof that proper notice was sent.
Can HRRG affect my credit?
They may report the debt to credit bureaus. However, if the debt is disputed, they must note the dispute. Small debts may also fall below reporting thresholds.
Can they suspend my license for an unpaid toll?
Some states allow registration holds for unpaid tolls, but this requires proper notice and due process. If you never received notice of the violation, this is a strong defense.
