Crazy: How many customers fall into the payment trap of Highway 6?

47% of bills sent to occasional users of Highway 6 are not paid on time, a figure revealed in a discussion at the Knesset Economic Committee. Each month, about 175,000 invoices are sent, and of these, about 80,000 are not paid on time, potentially leading to compensation charges and collection expenses. The article raises a question about the billing delivery method and the mechanism of additional charges.

47% of bills sent to occasional users of Highway 6 are not paid on time, a figure revealed in a discussion at the Knesset Economic Committee in June. Each month, about 175,000 invoices are sent to occasional customers, and of these, about 80,000 are not paid on time – about one million invoices per year. Late payment may lead to compensation charges and expense recovery, which the article calls 'a whitewash of imposing a fine on the customer.' The issue reached lawmakers, who discussed the possibility of sending digital invoices to reduce situations where customers do not receive the bill on time. The article notes that in the past, the State Comptroller dealt with the compensation and expense recovery mechanism, and found cumulative excess collections of about 156 million shekels. The headline uses the word 'crazy' to emphasize the scope of the phenomenon, but the body presents factual data.
