How to terminate the services of a third party claiming on my behalf

Hi,
I posted previously and mentioned that i originally (2 years ago) enlisted a third party to act on my behalf in reclaiming bank charges as it all seemed to be so complicated.
Of course i now know better, and to be honest i cant really afford to be paying anyone else to act on my behalf now so intend pursuing this by myself.
what is the correct etiquette for terminating the third party services (although they have done nothing since may 2007 when they sent the initial letter to my bank. to my knowledge Abbey never replied and of course then the whole situation was put on hold)
I need to inform them of my decision but want to do it the right way!
thanks for any advice that can be offered

Is there any guidance in the documents and agreements that you would have surely received?
I would expect instructions in there as to the procedure - something in writing?
"Part P" is not, and has never been, an accredited electrical qualification. It is a Building Regulation. No one can be "Part P qualified."

Normally, they will have the clause in there that once they have started work, they will be entitled to any share of redress even if you take over at a later date.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0

Check the documents and if there are any 'not-sures' contained within or otherwise, bring the info straight back over here "Part P" is not, and has never been, an accredited electrical qualification. It is a Building Regulation. No one can be "Part P qualified."

Well, i found the agreement from the company in question and the terms and conditions state that if i cancel with them they may charge 150 plus VAT for any admin work they have already incurred.
not unreasonable i suppose, although all they did was send the initial letter - had no response and nothing further was ever done. so i am going to let them know that i am pursuing things myself, and see what they say.
My letter is done and sending off today to Abbey - so wish me luck!
thanks for all your responses
