Can Body Corporate just charge an extra "arrears" fee on a past bill?

I just opened my bill for this quarter- and they've got a ****ing cheek. There's an extra $12 payment for the previous quarter. A bill I paid for over three months ago in full.

Can these complete ****ing arseh*le bastards actually do this?

I know it's only $12 but still.. If they got the bill incorrect in the first place, then that's on them from my POV.

Scenario;

You're behind our reception desk at work. A young woman quickly comes in visibly shaken, and you can hear yelling through the door as she enters. She can barely string a sentence together, but conveys enough that she wants to escape from her partner who is now leaning through the door behind her telling her stuff along the lines of not to be a bitch and get back in the car. He's aggressive, physically pretty built and swearing.

Quickly assessing the situation, you show her further into the building. Realising she's not going to comply her partner jumps in his car and peels out of the driveway.

She quickly insists that you don't call the cops, she just wants to hide for 20min or so while her phone charges and a friend can come pick her up. You see that she's quite shaken but no signs of physical violence. You consider your options and see that he's still watching the building from over the road some 50m away.

Do you;

a) ignore her requests not to call the cops because you're concerned about her and your other staffs safety

b) comply with her requests, give her some space in the lunch room and a phone charger and see what happens

c) other

I'd ignore her and call the cops. At that point it is not just about her safety but about the safety of the staff if the bloke tries anything.

Yeah. I had gotten his face and number plate / make / model off of our camera and was about to call when he buggered off, so I waited. She ended up leaving with a friend 15 minutes or so later so I didn't end up calling

If you have evidence you paid it before due date just email them proof.
Mistakes often happen. $12 is a whopper and some change.
It's like going to a restaurant, eating and paying the bill.. then going back 3 months later and them going oh sorry we didnt charge you enough, $12 more please!

WTAF.

For sure I got proof, I got the electronic record of it.
 
Yes they are gifted regularly.

People like each other, you know.
That shocks me lol

If someone actually did buy the ban option, would you honour it?

Given that you got all his details, I would have called the cops and made a report once she left.

You honoured her request (regardless of how we all feel about that) because the cops were never going to be able to do anything and she was never going to press charges.

By lodging a report, any decent cops would have done a welfare check but chances are that it just got filed away.
And as harsh and callous as it sounds, by lodging a report, you’ve done your bit and can sleep easy that you did all you could other than tying her up so she couldn’t leave
