student health insurance problem
Sent to Legal Experts March 29 09:03 PM

Greetings. I was recently charged 1,000 dollars for health insurance that I never authorized by the University that I attend. They say that they sent me a waiver notice the would allow me to opt out of their health insurance program but that when I failed to return it they charged my student account automatically. I never signed any contract for this insurance and I never wanted it as I am insured already from a private company. I cannot graduate until I pay my balance in full. Can they legally do this?

 A waiver is an understanding that you do not want the insurance did you receive this waiver. If you did and you failed to sign it and return it then you accepted the insurance and the premium that goes with it.

Please check and see if you did indeed receive a waiver if you did not then you probably have a case that you did not know you were insured because you never received the waiver.

I don't believe the answer was very thorough. What other company other than a University could possibly send you a letter saying, "We'll charge you 1,000 dollars unless you send this to us and tell us not to."?
