I am very annoyed. I tried calling my credit card to inquire what this was as i felt my card had been compromised! I needed to wait on line for long time just to find out it was for my licence. This is very confusing and pretty poor tranparency Customeres should be INFORMED prior to paying that it will be biiled by RUS SO ECHANNEL DOWNSVIEW or the credit card info should have somethig to indicate it is Gov Ont How does RUS SO ECHANNEL DOWNSVIEW indicate this is Gov Ont any way .

It might be the sticker renewal fee. They definitely should make it clear who it is paid for, not to have people guessing.

The $12 charge could be for drivers abstract you may have requested to submit to a new company you wish to join which requires that you have a clean drivers record. Did you recently change job ? Did someone in your family apply for a new job which requires driving?

This is a legitimate charge from the Ministry of Transportation Ontario. It is not a scam - it is varying fees for your vehicle/licence. They have listed the fees on their website. Check it out : http://www.ontariolicences.com/16-vehicles/34-mto-fees-and-fines

Was mysteriously charged $310 on Feb invoice...on a new credit card (January). I processed nothing online or with Ministry of Transportation. This is Fraud! Will be contacting my CC company. I also confirmed yesterday, went to Service Ontario to validate...they confirmed no sticker was purchased or processed with MTO...and that I need to renew by May... so I purchased 1 year sticker renewal yesterday. I have receipt as proof and confirm this is indeed fraud.

my bank statement listed a purchase of $240 paid to "MTO RUS-SO ECHANNEL DOWNSVIEW On" couldnt remember what the charge was for, I thought with the word ECHANNEL had something to do with TV. Nope, it seems it is for my auto pate renewal. MTO sure makes things confusing, the form should say you will receive the notification of the charge from MTO RUS-SO ......
