I haven't checked your maths but I don't think that you understand how it works. You have to calculate the daily rate for each charge at 8% from the date at which it was imposed. You calculate the accumulated daily interest for each charge for the number of days that they have taken the money from you.
Then at the the point when they are all running together - in the example you have given here - on the 13th December, you can add up all the daily rates and then run them together as a daily rate for the total of the charges.
Make sense?

so if it says total charges 12th sept 20.00 (to 21st aug) i need to calculate 8% per day, so 22 days at 8% of 20.00 is that correct

bear in mind that the total interest will increase on a daily basis, you'll need to work out the amount on the day you submit your claim I believe?

Although it's probably only a few pence a day i'm sure it'd look better to have it spot on when going to court

Yes

If there is any doubt, then go a bit under rather than a bit over.
