Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
It's been a while since I was last on but since then I've been able to find my bank statements and intend reclaiming soon.
At the moment I'm going through calaculating the interest on about £400 worth of charges between 2001 and 2003 when I closed the bank account.
What I'm hoping someone can confirm is if I can claim the interest at their overdraft rate (approx 30% APR) on the charges since the account was closed in 2003?
I know that I can for the period the account was open as they charged me at this rate, however since then am I still entiteld to this interest rate?
Appreciate there's a lot about interest on the forum but I've not seen anything that confirms this one way or another so if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
That is how it works for all interest calculations. The rate which you intend to claim at is is called the contractual rate of interest. Claiming this is more tricky to do as the bank will fight this type of claim harder. This is a lot trickier to do so I would suggest you have a hunt around the forums for "contractual interest" (run a search). I'm currently reading up on this as I've decided to take on Barclaycard with CI. The thread I'm reading up on this from is here
