If the legal fees are included in a valid judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, the bank will be able to enforce payment of the attorneys fees portion of the judgment, so long as 30 days from the date of the judgment have passed. If no judgment was entered against you, I would inquire how they incurred attorneys fees on a loan that you've paid off.
