KenjiOgiwara Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I'm seriously about to lose my shit. I rarely get this **** angry and I'm genuinly so angry I don't know how actually politely adress it anymore. I've been struggling with different sickness stuff the last 2 months, which is new to me as I'm rarely sick. Now due to the Covid-19 stuff all the doctors are forcing customers to do E-consultation. Which is fine I respect that. BUT they don't offer any payment methods. Which means they send the bill directly to a credit company who then bills you. Now I've gotten four bills in a row where the credit company has added 20% as a billing fee for no other reason that they can. Despite me never being given the option to pay in any other manner. I've taken the case to the public agency that deals with this stuff and they say it's illegal. Yet the credit company keeps up doing it. So I'm forced to make a big deal of it and go legal on their ass, or just pay 20% more than I should across the board. I'm weird about my money and I know it, but this is just so **** annoying. Makes my blood boil. I even went by the doctors office today to see if the payment machine was available, but they have actually shut down the entire office and all doctors are working from home. Just **** off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m torn, sometimes I find it a bit rude and other times I think yeah why the F not. I think it's alright. My own rule is that if it's a new conversation, it always starts with some sort of greeting. After that, anything goes. (sometimes yes, sometimes no) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get the details from someone who works at the doctor's surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This pissed me off though. It’s not a challenge is it love, it’s just just trying to flog some shite. I rarely use face book any more, when I do go on there it's just full of shit like this, and the thick **** who reply to those "as we can't sell this car due to the corona virus were giving it away just like and comment to win" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get the details from someone who works at the doctor's surgery? I assume you mean cheque, if not correct me. I don't have cheque's. Never have. So the only way I can actually pay is if the doctor offers me electronic payment info. Thing is they are exceptionally difficult to get hold of. They work through a phone application and are not customer friendly to put it mildly. I will try calling the doctor on his home number tomorrow, but I suspect he won't pick up.
