    Now here is the question do I tell the company or not?

    The purpose of this site is not to encourage people to defraud companies that they use for providing a service (even one is pointless as a claims company).

    The claims company will come after you for their cut soon enough.
    And do I ask egg for a brake down of all the money

    Normally you get it with the cheque or the initial letter telling you that the complaint is being upheld. Its a simple calculation anyway; a refund of premiums plus interest. Do you think it is wrong?

    You have been paid a cheque for £3501.64.
    You cash the cheque.
    The Claims Company present you with a bill for their services.
    You pay Financial Claims Made Simple 30% plus VAT of your redress.

    I think you can expect to pay them half of what you received.
