It is part of the job for which you hired the attorney who got you the judgment in the first place.\nHis job is not over until he collects the money for you. If he had a contingent fee, he doesn't even get paid until he collects the money.

It really all depends.  Some places charge a non-commission fee for services such as Amerprise Financial.  Others, such as Bank of America and their investment arm, may vary their fees according to tiers.  As an example, if you are not a customer or are looking to become a customer places may give you a lower introductory fee for the first year of service.  Some financial institutions base their fees on your status as a customer - the more business you do with the institution, the lower your fee.  For instance, I have my personal checking, savings, mortgage, equity line and investments (mutual funds & IRAs) all through the same financial institution and, as a result, I don't pay a fee for the services I receive in the way of financial planning.\n\nContact your banker/broker/mortgage company to see what deals they have and how you can best take advantage of any deals available.

If it's a dispute, Yes.\n\nIf you've been billed for something you did not buy, you can dispute it.\n\nThen, there's a small procedure to ensure you're right, but then,  you don't need to pay.\n\nHowever, if you don't have any grounds, it's a cognisable offense that you don't pay.\n\nIf you're having financial problems, the Credit Card Companies and your Bankers will be glad to help and I suggest that you take it.\n\nHave a nice day.

Why would you need to pay them an up-front fee - let alone any fee!! Doesn't sound too legit to me.

"Legal" is whatever a court last said it was.\n\nWhy would you even raise the issue? It would cost you far more to challenge his ruling than paying the additional fee (assuming a reasonable fee).
