The Finance charges and admin fee have not been charged interest, its strange concerned the APR will normallt takes into account all charges made under a agreement, interest, fees etc. If you want to check your APR, visit APR Cal used by Trading Standards and Office of Fair Trading. Install it into your PC. When you open it, carry out the following: Loan Amount = Amount Financed Regular Ł = Normal monthly payment Number = Number of months payable. Click Calculate. Total Amount advanced = Ł5202.00 Total Amount payable = Ł.00 Total Charged for Credit = Ł2200.00 For Example. Lets Say, I took a loan with DAF for Ł5,202, monthly payment Ł153.55, over 48 months. Here's the results. APR Results: Loan Totals ... Total Amount Advanced = Ł5202.00 Total Amount Payable = Ł7370.40 (TAP) Total Charge for Credit = Ł2168.40 (TCC) Rate Results ... Period Rate = 1.52269385361% Nominal Annual Rate = 18.2723262433% Effective Annual Rate = 19.8829983255% Annual Percentage Rate = 19.9 (APR) These figures are spot on, hope this helps.
