Notorious fee

Greetings,

Please, I need your speedy help your speedy help with the following question:

Maintenance Fee - This is a very notorious fee (which many retailers keep hidden ) that is charged against the phone card.

Hi, Please, I need your speedy help your speedy help with the following question: Maintenance Fee - This is a very notorious fee (which many retailers keep hidden ) that is charged against the phone card. Can the word notorious mean irrespectable here, 'Irrespectable' is not really a word. Perhaps you mean 'unrespectable'.
