My wife is due a PPI refund made on her behalf by Claim Easy and their fee is 35% plus Vat as the claim started before the fee cap. Is this payable on the gross amount, as they're saying, or the net amount my wife's received? Also is there really no way she can challenge these high fees please?

It's the gross amount.
She agreed to pay them their high fees, so needs to pay them.1 -
Also is there really no way she can challenge these high fees please?You need to help her improve her money management skills. First she was missold PPI and now she doesnt understand what entering into a contract means.No you cannot challenge them. She agreed to them. For the CMC, it is about 5 minutes of work., if that. So, yes it is expensive for her but maybe it will help her learn from her mistakes.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA).

If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.1
