Don't really understand how you let a guy run through $1300 on your credit card when you could have handed him your AMA card and it would have been free.

Consumer in a vulnerable position somehow finds himself having paid $1,300 for a service that should have been $0 after some fast-talking by service provider (taking OP at face value).
Consumer protection legislation and a whole government department exists to assist people in such circumstances.
Consumer comes to message board asking if anyone can help.
Lawyer who has experience with such matters directs consumer to said resources.
"Lol" "Omg"
Ok then.
I wonder if when consumer makes a call to AMA, knowing what his rights are under the provisions of Alberta's Fair Trading Act could be helpful?
Nah, consumer should probably just stick with the knowledge and negotiating skill they had when they paid $1,300 for a supposed to be free service.
You are right. My mistake. OP - whatever you do, don't crank this up to 11 and do something foolish like click that link I posted...
And nobody else either! The Fair Trading Act applies to almost every consumer contract you enter every day in Alberta...best to make sure you know nothing about it.
Phew! That was a close one!!
