Hello, I stayed in a Hilton in Amsterdam in August and paid my bill in full before I left. At the desk they tried to charge me more than what the original booking email said. I was part of a travel group that had negotiated a rate and they kept insisting I owed them more. This was over the course of several days, they kept calling our room telling us to come down and pay more money. It really felt like the woman at the desk was trying to scam us because she kept changing the amount we owed. It wasn’t until our travel group coordinator showed her the original contract that she finally backed off. I’ve been home for a month now and they keep sending me emails saying I owe them more! I paid the amount in our contract so I‘m not sending them a penny more but now they are threatening to “escalate“ the issue with their finance department. My question is, can they actually do any harm legally speaking if I don’t pay this money they’re trying to extort out of me? Never staying in a Hilton again, that’s for sure. My credit card company is already aware of the issue and any unauthorized charges will be handled immediately.
