SANRAL only communicates final demand with Road Users through the following methods:

1.    SMS: The sms will request payment and a call back on 0800 726 725. 
2.    Letter of Demand: A letter of demand will be sent to you via registered post and addressed to you by Electronic Toll Collection (the toll collection contractor) on an official letterhead with your 11 digit VPC (Violations Processing Centre) Account Number as reflected on your statement.
3.    Call Campaign: In addition to the letter of demand SANRAL will, from time to time contact you directly on your contact number. 
4.    Summons: The final step in SANRAL’s attempts to enforce payment of overdue e-tolls is the issuing of a summons which will be served on you by the sheriff of the court.
