Vanquis Min Finance Charge

Just got my statment yesterday and after looking over it I noticed a min finance charge of £1.

Anyone know what thats for? I pay my balance off in full every month, is that a way for them making some money?

Cheers

Paul

    Vanquis Terms and Conditions state:

    3.6 If in any statement period you incur interest (excluding ROP Charges) and that interest is less than £1, a minimum finance charge of £1 will be added to your Account in place of that interest which will be waived.

    Vanquis obviously charged you interest but because it was less than £1, they added a minimum finance charge instead.

    It states Minimum Finance Charge £1

    I always pay in full so not sure why I would be charged, dont pay the min payment so if I did pay late then surely I would have got a late payment charge. Strange!

    P.S payment was £38 last month and was paid in full. Would have thought the interest would have been higher than £1
