I'm not sure of the legality of fining someone for not turning up to an appointment they didn't make. Certainly an interesting approach, though.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 8 points 7 months ago

I'm not sure it would be enforceable either, but I guess either I agreed to the automatic appointments at some point, or it's a bluff.

It wouldn't be legal, as in enforceable through a court. But they would be within their rights to refuse to treat you again if you didn't pay it

If they pulled that shit, I wouldn't want to go back to their office anyway.
