    Emails will still be available online if you saved them...Does not matter if your hard drive failed...
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    thank you all so much for taking the time to reply. im so so stressed over all this.

    i got a letter from him 10 days ago (just trying to type a reply now) stating that i agreed to the fees - verbally.

    i have signed nothing and as far as i know ex husband didnt either.

    i have copied some info from the replies so i hope thats ok.

    my thanks again

    From my experience such high fees from a financial advisor usually result in them paying you the commission for the products. Alternatively they keep the commission and you pay a much lower fee.

    May not be the case in all situations but it certainly has been for me.

    got a letter today telling me if i dont pay he is taking me to court for £1200 and expenses.

    he got the £1290 a few months ago so in total he is expecting nearly £2500.
