Answer 5 :
I think I answered this question in your previous question about his Swiss Cottage. Oh well, here goes again. His father worked for the Royal Navy and moved his family many times. Charles was born in Portsmouth, where his father worked in Portsmouth Dockyard as a pay clerk. The office where John Dickens worked survives, just inside the dockyard gates. The family then lived in London, at various addresses, His father working for the Admiralty in the city. and then on the Isle of Sheppey. In April 1817 there was another move to Chatham, Kent when John Dickens was posted to Chatham Dockyard. Chatham Dockyard, no longer a working facility, is now a museum to the Royal Navy. Many of the old buildings, such as the grand Commissioner's House, have been restored or maintained. The other buildings of the dockyard are in varying stages of restoration. All of them still have the atmosphere described by Charles Dickens, whose father worked here in the Pay Office: Dickens felt a "gravity upon its red brick offices and houses, a staid pretence of having nothing worth mentioning to do, an avoidance of display, which I never saw out of England." The pay office in which John worked still survives. Another move to London followed, once again at various addresses. In adult life Charles almost followed his father into office life. Charles Dickens worked as a clerk at Grey's Inns, and briefly toyed with the idea of a legal career. Gray's Inn appears in a number of novels, including David Copperfield and The Pickwick Papers.
Answer 6 :
John Dickens (1786–1851), was a clerk in the Navy Pay Office at Portsmouth.

Answer 1 :
You should be paying about £300. If it's much m,ore than that you should have got a quote first. She can hold until you pay.
Answer 2 :
She's entitled to charge you her professional fees for work already undertaken, and can and will withhold the paperwork until you pay. The only way to force her to give it back is to sue and hope you're successful, I'm afraid.
