You do not owe for an estimate unless you were made aware of the charge up front and agreed to it.You have two options:1) if you can afford the $60, you might pay, since it will save you the time and cost of taking action as well as spare you from having to deal with collections. It is unfair to have to pay it, but it is sometimes the most practical response.2) if you can't--or simply refuse to pay--let the electrician know that because he did not inform you of the cost for an estimate in advance, you do not owe it; and if he tries to collect or sends the bill to a collection agency, you will sue him for consumer fraud, report him to the better business bureau, and possibly report him to whatever board or agency licenses electricians in your state; then be ready to follow through with these steps if necessary. If contacted by a collections agency, dispute the debt in writing and let them know that it is fraudulent and you are taking action against the electrician.
