Extreme admin charges from FlyBe

If you don't take a flight, you are entitled to claim the tax unpaid by the airline. I set about claiming the tax back and got this in return this morning:
Dear Tuskar_Rock
With reference to your request for refund of taxes. Flybe charge an administration fee of £25 per person, per sector [that's flight leg].
As your taxes total £52.50 per person, this would be subject to an admin. fee of £50 per person, leaving a balance to refund of £2.50 per person.
Please be advised we have today refunded £2.50 back onto the card that made the original payment.
Please allow 3 – 5 working days for it to clear.
Surely this is unfair charging! It must have taken them 15 minutes! With reference to your request for refund of taxes. Flybe charge an administration fee of £25 per person, per sector [that's flight leg].

Please allow 3 – 5 working days for it to clear.
