[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was negotiating “psychoeducational” testing for a kid, agreed to pay a certain rate for testing, there was an initial consult where they asked for the other parent’s consent which he did not provide, so I told them I could not proceed with the testing. 
They are asking me to pay a fee for the initial consult, no bill, just an email request to pay via their online portal. 
I was not made aware of the fee. The doc I signed only mentions a cancellation fee for the testing if cancelled less than X days in advance.
Mine wasn’t even scheduled. 
Am I obligated to pay the fee? Or rather what happens if I don’t? [/quote]

OP negotiated a price for a service and then at the first meeting, changed their mind.  Blamed it on the other parent and now doesn't want to pay.

Now, the rest of us, have to sign 1 million documents promising to pay because of the bad behavior of people like OP.

C'mon OP.  Pay your bills and stop making life difficult for people who actually follow the rules and pay their bills.[/quote]

She negotiated a price for testing. She didn't have the testing. She mentioned a cancellation fee if she cancels. That makes sense as they gave up a slot for testing and want to be compensated. She never got that far. She did not receive the service (testing). They were sophisticated enough to have a contract that spells out the price and the fee for cancellation, so they also could have included the fee for the initial consult if you do not or cannot proceed. If they did that, perhaps OP would not have done the consult. I would just write to them and I would say "what fee? I don't see anything in the paperwork you sent me."[/quote]
