How much in Court costs?

Can anyone tell me an approximate amount I'd be charged if I take the bank to court to reclaim circa £3,000 over a six year period? (I know that I'd get the costs reimbursed if I win).

Thank you.
Wins since 2009 = £17,600

MANY THANKS TO ALL OPS

    The amount payable is £120 (for claims between £1,000 and £5,000) plus £100 for claims (of money) over £1,500, so that's £220 in total. But you will get this back, and the bank will settle before you get to court (although they make take it to the wire).
    The past: Single teenage mother of twins: debt everywhere!
    The present: Wage slave for a FTSE 100, no debt but the mortgage & my time.
    The future: My time will be my own, my money will be my own.
