Factors court charges

I've basically been a blind fool and ignored my factors bill for the past god knows how many months now, I recently called up to find out my balance from them as I have decided for once and for all i'm going to sort out this mess that i'm in..

on top of the £1000 i owe them, since they've applied for court action to be filed against me, I know owe a further £750 in court fees!? is there any way around this? Surely they can't charge me that much money for a couple of letters!

thanks in advance,

Gary

    Hi

    That seems a lot for court fees (although I don't know loads about the scottish court system - I assume you are in scotland?) have they given you a breakdown of the £750? are you sure some isn't meant to be interest etc?

    I think it might be sensible to give national debtline scotland a quick call for some advice.

  • Thanks for the advice, I'll call them tonight when I get home from work. and yeah i'm situated in Scotland.
