    Also I had a finance agreement on a car who had charged me over £600 in letter fee's.
    When i filed against them in court they refunded the charges and actually halved the outstanding anount owed on the account.

    As far as I am aware , unless they can provide a full breakdown of the cost of sending a letter then they have to refund you the money.
    You cannot be charged for a "service" for anymore than the true cost.
    Anything higher than the cost becomes a profit making scheme.
    Which £30 for an automated letter blatantly is.
    I will try find more information on this for you.
    Aer you think along the lines of bank charges? As the same arguement doesn't apply.

    Why not ?
    £30 TO SEND A LETTER
    ??
    This is a blatant profit making scheme and not exactly a service is it ?
    I already know if i am late with a payment without being charged £30 as a reminder.
    If they can't provide a full breakdown of the service then why should you pay?
    Of course the same rules apply as bank charges.
    Any charge which is a penalty is unlawful unless they can prove cost or loss to themselves.
    An automated letter does not cost £30 to send.
