I have been stupid but trying to sort a repayment plan with them. I am not due to pay until the 1st April, but this is the response I got. I am sure adding 60 days interst is wrong. Can someone please advise me
A MiniCredit Hardship Department member has replied to your application, #221624 with the following response:
The following e-mail is sent according to the Formal Hardship Procedure.
Our hardship team has tried to contact You over the past few days, unfortunately we were unable to reach You by the registered mobile number. After assessing Your account details we are able to propose two payment options.
The first option is a settlement plan for £683.20. You would need to make at least one payment a month towards the balance and clear the debt by the 30th of July 2014. Choosing this option means that no default will be marked on Your credit reference file. The settlement plan balance consists of:
1. Original due date balance £409.20
2. Overdue charges £40.00
3. Interest for 60 days £234.00
The second option is a long term payment plan for £733.20. Choosing this option means that a default will be marked on Your credit reference file, but You will be able to make payments during a longer period of time. Depending on the monthly payment that You can afford the plan will be administrated either by us directly or by our debt recovery partners. The payment plan balance consists of:
1. Original due date balance £409.20
2. Overdue charges £40.00
3. Interest for 60 days £234.00
4. Debt recovery fee £50.00
The contractual interest rate is 1.3% of the principal per day from the date of issuing until the 60th day after the chosen due date. The above described overdue charges and interest are in accordance with the Loan Agreement.
Please let us know what You decide considering the above latest by the 1st of April 2014. If no response is received by then we will forward Your account to our debt collection partners with default balance.
