  • Go away and actually do some sums if you want to prove me wrong.
    I can't.

    You haven't provided the dates the statements were issued on.
  • newbies come and then have a go when they are shown to be incorrect/rubbish at maths
  • Pasting in the entire summaries (apologies for the formating, I've only removed the embeded links for Nov/Dec)

    The balance limit is £8100 , quoted monthly interest 2.005%, minimum payment is supposed to be calculated either as 2.25% of the outstanding balance or interest plus 1% of the outstanding balance. There is a £12 charge in the december interest and charges amount for being over the credit limit so the interest charged for december like every month where additional payments aren't made is the estimate from the previous month.
    Since both October and November have purchases and this along with the dates of purchase affects the interest charged I have not made comment on their accuracy.

    Are you seriously suggesting that one of the world's largest financial institutions have more expertise at calculating credit card interest than the OP?
