Hi all - useful information concerning costs

[paulminize]

Hi all, Sorry i havent posted much, I took on the entire worlds worth of claims, I think and as a result I have been pretty busy!

 

Anyway, i know this has had much debate, about what you can and cant claim for, concerning the costs. Well i have been trying them out, and charging for all sorts of various bits and pieces. (Nothing huge, just letters and the like) I have then added these straight to my moneyclaim as part of the claim itself. I have now been paid out on 4 out of 7 of these including the costs i had asked for. Basically i asked for the £10.00 sar fee back, plus i charged £6.95 for all letters and £9.45 for any letters including figure work (Charges Schedule etc) + other charges for photocopying etc. For most of the cases i have dealt with these total £30-£40 ish, I know its not a huge amount, and i know if it actually goes to court they would be at the discretion of the judge, but as most cases are settling way before that, its gotta worth it.

 

Anyway tried and tested ;-) if you can get another £30-£40 back on 5 accounts thats £150-£200 free ! Go buy yourself a Christmas pressie.

If you want a break down of how i justified my costs ask and i will explain.

All i wrote in my moneyclaim peticulars was "I would also like to claim my resonable costs incurred these total £XX.XX and are fully documented."
