Hi All, I'm hoping someone can give me a steer on the correct course of action here. I "own" a leasehold property with an annual service charge of £150 payable annually in advance. I foolishly missed the payment in April this year and received an invoice for the payment due plus a "reminder fee" of £34, which i duly challenged in writing, accepting the original £150 was payable but asking where in my lease it states that the reminder fee is payable. I also requested a breakdown of the £34 fee as I believe it to be disproportionate. I received a response stating that this fee will not be waived but no breakdown and no reference to the clause in my lease that allows a reminder fee to be charged (I'm unable to find such a clause). I challenged again, stating I was happy to pay the outstanding balance, less the reminder fee unless they responded to my request for further information. I received no response but have today received a letter from Property Debt Collection Ltd, in respect of the outstanding amount of £150, plus the reminder fee of £34, plus another £80 admin fee, plus an additional £150 for PDC's instruction: a total of £414. My questions are: 1. Are any of these fees lawful 2. Should I contact PDC or the original management company and pay the outstanding balance of £150 whilst I challenge the remainder? 3. Is there a valid challenge or should I just suck it up and pay? 3. Is there some other action I should take? Any advice would be gratefully received... Many thanks
