Fee Disclosure Audit: What Was Shown at Checkout Versus What Was Charged
Compare the screens you saw with the final bill.
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it.
Audit fee disclosure. Screenshots or descriptions of each step of the booking or checkout, with the prices shown at each step: [CHECKOUT_STEPS]. The final invoice or statement: [FINAL_CHARGES]. The terms and fee schedule as published: [PUBLISHED_FEES]. Build a table with Step, Total shown, Fees shown, New fees introduced, and Notes. Identify fees that first appeared late in the process, fees that are not on the fee schedule, fees named differently across pages, and differences between the quoted total and the final charge, with the arithmetic. Count the number of steps before the full price was visible. Draft a neutral query listing the differences and asking where each fee was disclosed, and a short summary of the findings for a complaint. Do not assert that any fee is unlawful. Mark rules on price display as [VERIFY] with the regulator for [JURISDICTION]. Do not give me legal advice. Cite no time limit you cannot source. Use [JURISDICTION] and [RELEVANT_LAW_OR_POLICY_IF_KNOWN] as given. Flag where I need expert help. Keep every draft calm and fair.
