Costs of complaining to Ombudsman?

Currently going through complaint with Halifax in order for me to decide what compensation to ask I need to know what is the costs charged by Ombudsman to Financial institution for dealing with the complaint about them. As if I ask for a slightly lower amount it would be cheaper to pay me a compensation.
Many Thanks

It is not free.
If Ombudsman accepts your complaint for investigation the bank will pay to Ombudsman for investigating. I need the amount that Ombudsman charges the bank0 -
well if you have a case, there wont be an issue. Its about £350Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0

Which in it's turn means if I ask for £300 compensation it will be cheaper for them to pay me than it's going to Ombudsman0
