Conflicting casesJudicial officers have certain powers which only they are entitled to, especially concerning the obligatory formalities in order to carry out the courses of a lawsuit. They are often faced with numerous problems, the most frequent of which is the questioning of fees. This is a question of challenging the fees that the law officer has charged you for his services and interventions. If you are not satisfied with the details of the charges, you can take the legal steps to dispute them. Simple and effective proceduresThe procedure for disputing bailiff's fees differs depending on the case and the scope of the situation. For an excessive bill linked to a service not provided, for example, a simple registered letter attached to the detailed bill to the address of the attorney is sufficient. {For more serious cases, such as a seizure of earnings, the enforcement judge or the district judge may intervene.A disciplinary procedureThis challenge may be the subject of disciplinary proceedings. The decision falls to the prosecutor to make the bailiff appear either before the court of first instance or before the regional chamber. You will be summoned for a hearing during which you can claim damages.

I have received the bill of fees from the Master (name and surname of the bailiff) on (date), the amount of which amounts to (amount to be paid) Euros. These fees are intended to cover the services of the bailiff necessary to... (object of the intervention).
In addition, after having examined the details, I note that these fees do not correspond at all to the terms discussed before the act and are really unjustified.
In fact, it seems that some of the acts invoiced were not at all necessary to the procedure and some were even carried out without my agreement. On the other hand, some of the items listed are excessive and do not correspond to the legal fees.
Thus, I ask you to agree to revise the said invoice in order to reduce it as it should be, and this according to the useful acts performed and in relation to the legal fees.
I enclose with this letter a copy of the claimed invoice, a copy of the expense report and a copy of our agreements for cross-checking purposes, with which you can verify the acts listed and performed according to our agreements.{I thank you in advance for your kindness in considering my request and I hope that you will be able to give me satisfaction with regard to this incident.
