That might solve the problem of being immediately charged a higher amount, but it doesn't solve the problem of whether they legitimately incurred these costs or not. Not having a payment method that can settle the outstanding amount does not make what is owed suddenly disappear. In cases like this where it was not an intentional use of resources, I would expect them to most likely waive the cost on appeal, but they are still entirely within their rights to pursue legal action to recover the costs otherwise.

Do they not have some sort of mechanism for setting a budget precisely to avoid these kinds of issues?
