Full and final settlement

I recently agreed with my bank a full and final settlement for long term debt , i paid the agreed amount and now i have been sent a letter informing me that i am due returned interest due to an error, the bank has taken this money now in addition to my full and final settlement , can i get this money back ? or at least have my full and final settlement figure reduced as it included interest that was wrongly charged? as my full and final settlement was based on a percentage out the outstanding debt which would be an inflated figure as the "wrong" interest was included?

    I suspect the settlement offer would let them do this, in which case there's nothing due to you.

    can they have the rest of the capital you borrowed back as well?
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.

    Sounds as if the interest be refunded in due course. So what's your problem?
