I went to Canada over the summer. Hurt myself in one of the activities I participated in. Went to the local hospital in the afternoon, they did an xray, I paid before the treatment (hundred of pounds) and left in the evening. No follow up or anything additional to do at the hospital. Yesterday they charged my card randomly for another £60. No warning/email nothing. I contacted them and they told me that they could because I signed this.
I am furious because a) they shouldn’t have done that without contacting me b) they charged me at the time c) surely 4 months are a long time to not get in touch with someone who paid in person?
Funnily enough they say that the additional charge is specifically for what I went for, the xray:
‘Here you go, below is your credit card authorization signed by you, reason why we move forward in charging your card on file.
Moreover, you may continue to file a charge back to your bank, then we will just mail your outstanding bill to your mailbox, if you want to file a charge back.
Lastly, during your visits, you only paid for the ER room + ER doctor’s fee. No payment made for Xray. As part of the Non-Resident of Canada agree you signed for, you are responsible for any additional charges.
On your case, you had Xray that causes you to have a balance owing of X CAD reason why we charge you.
