VaKo Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 IANAL but Ask to see there contract and terms of service. Ask to see the manager and demand to know exactly why they consider this just, as the book seems to be worth £16 and I cannot see how they can fine you for this much. If he/she disagrees, ask to speak to there boss, keep doing this until you get a nicer answer. Say you are perfectly whilling to pay a late fine, but not one that is nearly 3 times the total worth of the book. If in doubt steal the book, and ebay it for the fine costs, as in just walk out the door with it, they can't physically stop you as that could count as an assualt charge against them.

kickarse Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I thought there was a policy that you can´t charge a late fee that´s more than the buying price of the book? Especially at a library... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
take it take Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I have no advice for you, but I feel better now. I had to pay $20 for overdue library videos. (yes, videos as in VHS tapes.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeoneE1se Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 my sister took a book back once and the fine was like 100+ USD so instead of paying the late feeS she just said she lost it only about a 5$ book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
