If someone has contractually agreed to pay a certain amount if an event happens, and that event happens, then yes, that person has to pay that amount if that event happens.
- thriftwy 5y agoIt does not work that way when selling services or goods to a person. In most jurisdictions, anyway. It is highly regulated and it should be so. You can only charge for things that you have delivered and only the ones which were requested/consumed.
- jfrunyon 5y agoYou can repeat that as many times as you want but it won't make it any more relevant.
- itsabigworld 5y agoI can't speak for other jurisdictions, but Norwegian law explicitly says that you can't demand payment in that case, even if you have a contract that says otherwise. æøå
- jfrunyon 5y agoThe Norwegian law you referenced appears to say you can't charge for debt collection (unless conditions are met). This has nothing to do with debt collection. In fact it has nothing to do with debt. But you know what man, go ahead, try and scam someone with an NSF or decline and see how it goes. (Disclaimer: I don't speak Norwegian or any of the other languages)
- jfrunyon 5y agocoo' coo', go try and scam someone with an NSF, see how it goes my man.
- itsabigworld 5y agoBut I do speak Norwegian, so how about assuming I know what the law is about? It is not just about debt collection, it is about any kind of failed payment, including a declined card for a service you're subscribed to. In the event that your card is declined, they are obliged to give you a written notice with at least a 14 day deadline (§9) and they can't charge extra for that, or anything else beyond what they would for normal billing (§18), as long as you pay within that deadline (§17). Any agreements or contracts you enter that state otherwise are explicitly null and void (§3).
