Excessive Bankruptcy Costs
Has your trustee in bankruptcy racked up excessive costs?
Are they threatening to sell your home to cover inflated fees?
At West London Law, we help individuals challenge trustee in bankruptcy’s costs, especially when those fees are unreasonable, disproportionate, or appear to match the equity in your home.
We’ve helped clients across the UK reduce trustee’s fees, defend bankruptcy proceedings,
and stop unfair home repossessions.
How We Help
We offer a structured legal process to fight back:
- Request Full Cost Breakdown: We write to the trustee demanding a detailed breakdown of their costs.
- Examine the Evidence: We carefully review every charge and investigate whether the fees are justified.
- Legal Strategy: Based on our findings, we’ll advise whether to make a formal application to court.
- Apply to Reduce Costs: If appropriate, we’ll challenge the fees through court and push for a significant reduction.
- Negotiate on Your Behalf: Trustees often settle when challenged by a credible law firm with a strong reputation.
Challenge Trustee Fees?
You can challenge a trustee’s fees if:
- The costs appear to exceed what’s reasonable
- The fees seem disproportionate to the value or complexity of your estate
- You believe the trustee is inflating costs to absorb the equity in your property
- You are applying to annul your bankruptcy
Our team can challenge the trustee’s costs as part of a bankruptcy annulment application, strengthening your case in court and possibly preventing the sale of your home.
The Court's View on Trustee Fees
- Reasonable
- Proportionate to the estate’s value
- Justified by documentation
If the court finds the fees excessive, they can order a reduction, which could save you thousands and potentially protect your assets. You can also apply for your costs if the court significantly reduces trustee’s costs.
