is it renunciar? cuz i've said this on the phone and people don't even know what that word means.

The context of it is: Let me see if i can waive that fee for you.

It sound like it could be to yield the right to pay as in to 'ceder'.

Pr0x1mo, renunciar would be if the client is the one giving up something or the right to something.

i think the word you are looking for here is "obviar" (for waiving a fee).

that is more of a financial term but if you are more informal on the phone, you can say (for example with regards to a not charging a commission)...

- te perdonamos... (la comisi�n).
- no te cobramos... (la comisi�n).

if it is an amount due (as in a debt) it could be "condonar".
