    Yes they are entitled to chase payment as it was a charge that was meant to be levied. One assumes that you knew they never took it as £976 is not a small amount. However, you can ask them to debit it over a period of 12 months (which would be better than adding it to mortgage and paying interest on it for the next 25 years or so.
