very odd interest offer

Hi all
Well im still waiting for hsbc to get there bottoms into gear, wednesday is there deadline and they still dont know if my complaint is being upheld!

On a more positive note my friend has had there letter through from lloyds, personally I have had a bit of a giggle about it

Unfortunatley he cant remember dates but from doing simple maths this just looks daft, the below are all on credit cards

Calculations
Difference between the actual and revised balance = £777.59
Credit Interest at 8% per annum simple = £19.34
Total = £796.93

Hes not sure how long hes had the card, at least 6 years and has been paying £10 month ppi...... I think the interest they are offering looks absolutly crazy!!

Can some lovely person on here confirm the interest amount looks daft lol!!?!

Also on credit cards because the interest rate is so much higher should that be included?

thanks all

    Hi there

    I'm sure someone will be along soon to check this out :D, sorry I am hopeless on the calculations side of it lol.

    How long have you been waiting to hear about your reclaim?

    Contact details of the CEO/HSBC if you need to chase this up, good luck.;)

    Hang in there.

    My claim started on 11/5/11 and i received my offer letter 15/9/11 which was a little over the 16 weeks deadline.

    I was starting to get a little anxious too !
