Can a LLC charge a Service fee that is not in the contract?

We are disputing a $1800 charge from the place that we had our vedding for a service fee which we are being charged however, there is no mention of it in the contract. Is this something that can be done?|||Hi There,





The "surprise" service fee is common in contract law. In general, fees that are not mentioned in the contract cannot be charged. However, be careful as there may have been an agreed-upon modification in the contract.





The best way to determine this is to ask for an itemization of charges according to the contractual terms, then review the contract (preferably with your attorney) to see if any of the $1800 stems from another part of the contract. If not, fear not - even if the charging company takes it to court, they will not win if it is not a part of the original or modified contract.





Good Luck,
