A few months ago I let a domain expire that I no longer wanted. I just received a bill from a collections agency saying that I owe about 0 because although I let the domain expire, it's necessary to cancel it as well.

The domain in question is a ".at" Austrian.

I've never needed to cancel a domain before - letting it expire was enough. This was my first Austrian domain name, and I'd appreciate any insight the community might have.

Unless you had a pre-existing contract with them that required you to renew the domain or notify them of cancellation, then they cannot charge you.

AT domain registration

So basically, it depends on whether or not there were explicit terms from your registrar about this occurring; which if there are, you should be able to find them on your registrar's site.
