calculating interest for second letter !!!

i'm preparing to send my second letter on behalf of my fiance whom is claiming £2761.50 with interest of £439.85. this interest was worked out from the date of my initial letter on the 8/5/07 to which i recieved a reply from hsbc on the 17/5/07 saying they are looking into it !!!! its now been approx 8 weeks and she hasn't heard anything else.my question is should i re-calculate the schedule of charges,although small, the interest will have increased,send a schedule without interest or should i send in the original schedule that i sent with the first letter ???????????????? many thanks woody

    For the possible few quid it will be I wouldn't bother with the hassle of working it out again, just send the original, makes more sense to me.

Chelsea Mortgage charges & cashback £5000/£672. complaints with banks pending OFT Halifax £30, A&L £35. TOTALS £11,325/£5482
