    Default Statutory Interest Help!

    Hi everyone, can you help me out with my calculations please.

    I have heard some people tell me that the stat interesticon is 8% PER MONTH!? Surely this cant be right... is it?

    Or is it as i though and 8% per year so it would work out at around 0.66% each month?

    Scenario 1 Monthly = Month 1 £100, Month 2 £108, Month 3 £116.64 etc

    Scenario 2 Yearly = Month 1 £100, Month 2 £100.66, Month 3 £101.32 etc


    HELP! Is either of those right?? :-|:?

    It is definitely 8% per annum.

    Thanks for the reply, so let me get this right....

    Month 1 i pay £30 for PPIicon
    Month 2 my £30 is now worth £30.20 (30 x 0.66%) and another £30 is paid so total is now £60.20
    Month 3 my £60.20 is now worth £60.60 and another £30 is paid so total owed to me is now £90.60.
    Month 4 my £90.60 is now worth £91.20 and another £30 is paid so total owed to me is now £121.20
    Month 5 my £121.20 is now worth £121.99 and another £30 is paid to total owed to me is now £151.20.....

    and so forth???

    Thanks.

    Yes how the hell did you do that

    I have no legal training and the advice I offer is a matter of support. Before you commit to any Legal action you are advised to contact a qualified legal practitioner.
    ------------------------------------------------
    Bank charge successes:
    Halifax - Full settlement incl interest.
    HSBC - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 75% of claim.
    RBS - Settlement, goodwill no admission of liability about 70% of claim.
    2 ongoing claims for bank charges with HSBC with more to come. (Supreme Court ruling could have upset these claims) They did
    PPI Successes
    PPI 4 settlements on 9 loans. FOS involvement on 7 added on the 8 % Statutory interest another 30% to both.
    2 claims settled in full with LV without FOS involvement.
    2 claims settled in full with HSBC without FOS involvement

    PPI Claims ongoing with:
    Cap one Now with the FOS
    Barclays. Paid up today 24/04/10 cheque received for over £4,500 and in the bank.
    LTSB still have to decide on this as their SAR production was abysmal. Papers data mixed up documents missing etc

    1 Complaint not upheld by FOS they said it was ICO issue. Complaint upheld by ICO. See this..

    ***RBS PPI Claim Long fight but, WON***

    Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.

    Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.

    Stat interesticon can be claimed at the rate stated in the contract.

    The 8% is for when there is no rate stated

    (eg: if you're sueing Dixons because the toaster you bought doesnt work. or your joiner, because the shelves he put up collapsed wrecking your collection of model locomotives.)

    No, you are barking up the wrong tree justchris20, it doesnt work like that.

    It compounds monthly, but at an annual rate (ie the rate divided by 12, but its worked out at a daily rate (ie yearly rate divided by 360)

    Go work it out using Compound interest calculator

    360 day year, 12 compoundings per annum

    How much interesticon are you paying on the loan?

    This is the figure that are charging you, so you should be using the same.

    Why this enthusiasm for 8%?

    Each £30 needs to be looked at as an individual "wrong" they have done against you, so should be worked out from the date it was made until the date it is repaid to you

    Calculate the interesticon from the date of each until no, then add up all the totals.

    The Compound interest calulator will do all the hard work fot r you.

    Make a note of each result, then add them up.
