PPI CMC went to court for me and won - but fees for that are +£500!! + 40% of reclaim + vat.

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

Depends on the value of the claim...

 

Issuance fees - 

 

Greater than £3,000 but no more than £5,000 = £205  manual claim  £185 MCOL on line claim.

 

Hearing fees – fees order 2.1 Small Claim Track where the amount claimed is: up to £300 £25 between £300.01 and £500 £55 between £500.01 and £1,000 £80 between £1,000.01 and £1,500 £115 between £1,500.01 and £3,000 £170 more than £3,000 £335

If you won the court claim the court would have automatically included the claim & hearing fee, so not sure what's happened.
