Hi guys me again

having gotten nowhere with Provident, not even my promised reply in writing, I simply paid the early settlement figure. So on a loan of £500 over 33 weeks I have paid £850 (instead of £910 in 52 weeks). I am trying to find out how I calculate what that actual APR is as I am sure it is a whole lot more than the APR I agreed to.

Does anyone know any handy websites that could help? I can find calculators that tell me what my repaymens woudl be if I know my interest but not actually how to calculate what you have paid.

many many thanks in advance.

Di
