The agency announced yesterday that it had started issuing summonses to individuals who had not settled their e-toll debt.
The agency said the summonses would be delivered by sheriffs in different jurisdictions in Gauteng. These will include the highest defaulters and companies.
But, Wayne Duvenage of the Organisation Undoing Tax Abuse, said the agency could only go after people on a commercial level as a last resort.
"It is very odd that it is issuing summonses ... its scheme has failed and this is the last attempt to get a little bit of money before it completely fails."
The agency said the "decision to issue summonses came at the end of an extensive period of communications" between itself and "vehicle owners who neglected to pay outstanding debts".
Alex van Niekerk, project manager for the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project, said the agency had a responsibility to those who had religiously paid e-tolls, to recover debt.
Duvenage said his organisation would defend its members if they were summonsed.
