Hi Everyone
Last year my partner and I were going through South Africa for IVF via a Donor egg programme.
Basically we paid for beginning of the cycle (deposit)
However due to circumstances we had to pull out.
I sent and email saying we need to cancel so they could stop and not go ahead with the planned egg retrieval.
I sent an email of interest a few days before the due date for egg retrieval asking if it was too late and what was required etc?
I got a response saying it is still possible but however we will need confirmation and payment for this etc.
I did not reply as we could not go through with it.
so recently (months after) i get an email with an invoice stating we owe money for the egg retrieval and storage which was done out of "GOOD FAITH" by the doctor at his own expense.
I did not confirm I wanted to go ahead. Im annoyed that he allegedly went ahead with the procedure and now trying to charge me for something I did not confirm to go ahead with.
Do they have legal ground? I mean Good faith should mean at their own peril not mine...Also being in South Africa and me being in Australia do I have anything to worry about.???
Please any help
?
Cheers
