    Yes, there is no time limit however given your timescale do not expect a high refund

    Most of the increases started around 2003 where fees of £50-£100 were normal before. The jump to £250-£400 was the catalyst for the FSA action. However, if you only paid £100, then Noz is correct in saying that you may not get much if anything.
