Hello
I have just been awarded £2050 on a PPI claim.
I went through a claims company so i expected to pay them 40% plus VAT of the claim won.
However, i am querying the quoted court costs (which i was not informed about prior to this).
They are quoting the following court costs: -
£205 - Court Issue Fee
£335 - Court Hearing Fee
I am no legal expert but these seem very high for such a small financial claim.
I will be lucky to see £500 of the initial £2050 if this is correct (yes i understand the 40% i could have avoided if i didnt use the claims company).
If these costs seem realistic then no probs with agreeing to them
but if the claims company artificially inflated these for their own gain i would be none the wiser.
Can anyone advise please?
Thanks
