@hsbc_uk_help HBOS Solicitors £2340.00 court charges for abortive eviction hearing - excessive?

[baldy2763]

Hi Everyone, I

 

 

'am looking for some advice if anyone can help

 

 

i have been in mortgage arrears for a considerable time and

on a number of occasions which have resulted in HBOS seeking possession through the courts.

 

 

In the latest court case the HALIFAX were successful in gaining an eviction.

 

 

However with the Bailiffs arriving in the house my sister paid a substantial payment in agreement with the HALIFAX to avoid an eviction.

 

I have recently received a letter from the Halifax stating that the solicitors Charges will be £2340.00

which has been debited to my mortgage account already( no breakdown at all)

 

I Feel this is an excessive fee for a 10 minute court hearing and associated administrative paperwork.

 

It cost me £40.00 to request a hearing so the fee of £2340.00 in solicitors charges seems excessive .

 

Has any one else had experience of solicitors charges?

and

 

 

any advice on how to find out what other charges Halifax have made on my account

as i do not have any statements from the last few years.

 

Now far back can i request information on charges the Halifax have made on my mortgage account.

 

thanks
