Did refusal letter especially where written where/when you can appeal or any seprate letter (guidelines) say to pay any fee?

But when you go to the border agency link you posted.it still talks about payment to be made or contact the legal services commission for advice if legal aid can be granted.

Some people appealing under the EEA regulations are exempted from the fees

However, you may have to pay, as on closer look at the regulations, it seems it applies to EEA national or family members facing removal, and not people applying for residence documents or EEA family permit.

You can make a free, fresh application. Mention the rejection in the second application and address the points raised in the objection if any were made.

Fresh application

Willl it be better to make this application with the help of a lawyer so i can systematically correct the reasons for refusal with the back up of a legal representative or can i do it by myself but mention the regulations they failed to follow or the regulations they mis quoted!!!!

You can make the fresh application yourself addressing the points that were raised as part of the refusal. You don't need a lawyer to do that. If your case is not complicated and you know it was refused in error, just point out why and reapply.

You certainly can appeal and reapply.

Most ECO post tend to deliberately ignore the provisions under Regulations 8.

As the issue of Residence Card is a matter of discretion, i will suggest if you appeal, to seek legal assistance.

If you appeal, i believe there is a good chance of success.

It all depends on what the basis for the original rejection was. If was spurious, then a fresh application would be ok. If it goes against policy, then and if contrary to law, then lawyers might need to be involved.
