    Unfortunately with agreements such as this, if the entire balance isn't repaid before the end of the interest free period, interest is charged on the whole amount from day 1. As you daughter was 2 months late paying the remaining balance, this will be what has happened.

    It will be in the terms and conditions that she signed and there is nothing she can do about it other than pay up.

    There was a similar thread to this last week, IIRC. Beanie is right - it will be in the terms and conditions. You have to stick absolutely to the T & C's of these interest free deals if you are to avoid penalty charges.
    I used to think that good grammar is important, but now I know that good wine is importanter.
