    more info required.

    why have nationwide added charges?

    Your original mortgage will have no real relevance. Do they agree they inherited/bought an £87k mortgage from Dunfermline? 
    Assuming they do, your dispute is over the £20k rather than the £87k. Ask them for a breakdown of those charges. 

    See which you dispute and then go down the complaints process.

    Why? Aren't the charges set by the original agreement? If they are, the OP does need the agreement to challenge the charges.

    No. 

    If you took out a mortgage in 2000 and someone else took out a mortgage with the same lender in 2020 - the fees they incur for various things would need to be the same. 

    If someone does a 35 year mortgage and never moves lender, the late fee might be £20 today. But in 35 years time, that might only be the equivalent of a fiver and doesnt cover the work involved (just an example with numbers pulled from thin air).
