      it’s only legal if you agreed to the fee when you first took out the debt

      Which is most likely defined in their terms.

      Who cares about laws if no one will enforce them? No consumer protection, no more watch dogs, it’s all but legal now.

      For insurance your bill is typically for the next month instead of the previous month like utilities. At that point it’s not a debt, so they can refuse whatever payment method they want.

      Similar to how stores can refuse bills over $20 or refuse a bucket of pennies.
