Extortionate and unjust. Especially given the new legislation on the horizon. Many agents are embracing it already and abolished fees to show their willingness. Ascend have actually skyrocketed them in order to squeeze every last bit of profit they can, regardless of it's morality.

The fees are too much. The Agent may need to review and get away with fees that are not necessary. Deposit protection and check in fees need not be charged, for example.
