Incorrect ISA interest.

I've been following this thread very carefully, as you will have seen.
Today I closed an old InvestDirect account. The most it has had all year is £100 (just used as a carpetbagging account). I've now taken out an e-Bond so don't need it.
I've recorded the date of every balance change and every interest change.
I calculated the interest at 81p. Using the 366 day thing and the projections as shown on Wikipedia, I get 80.6p. They paid me 65p interest. Over an amount that small I'm not going to complain, but their calculation is obviously incorrect somewhere.0 -
