Is my PPI offer worng? HELP!

Hi, Sorry if you have seen this before, but I posted on the worng board originally!!

I have just had a letter from RBS for my NatWest Creditcard. I recently claimed for Plevin commission. However I think the statutory interest is wrong: the calculation is..
Refund of commission over 50% charged on your premiums paid between 06 Nov 1993 to 06 Jul 2006 £892.21
Refund of erroneous over limit fees paid between 06 Nov 1993 to 06 Jul 2006 £156.00
Compound interest on commission over 50% and erroneous over limit fees, based on interest rate charged on credit card £1,937.95.
TOTAL: £2,987.16

Gross statutory interest (8%) £99.54

Less income tax (20%) -£10.91

Net statutory interest £79.63

Total offer £3065.79



Am I wrong in thinking that the statutory interest should be 8% per year on £2,986.16 since July 2006? If so then should it not be ~£3800 interest? Making the offer about £6800?

Or am I completely wrong?

You help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance!
