Anyone else had dealings with these people? I paid £347 for them to do the paperwork for me. Then I was asked for another £550 for court fees which I couldn't afford so I requested a refund. Or at least a partial one which was refused. It should be a simple case as husband deported 12 years ago. Not sure who to turn to for help.

There is an actual company called Quickie Divorce shysters?11 -
£550 is the standard court fee
You paid them to do the paperwork , not for the court fees as well

If you'd looked at the FAQ, it clearly states:Why did you think you wouldn't have to pay the court fees?6

Why was the payment of £550 a shock to you ?
Its in the FAQ, surely you read them ?2 -
It does sound like either the company didn't explain the process and costs very well or the OP didn't listen to them.
