Just been digging through some old bank statements.

I have an old Barclays Credit Agreement from 2000.

The details on the agreement are as follows:

Amount of Loan: £3100
Total Charge for Credit: £506.96
Total Amount Payable: £3,606.96

APR 15.9%. Number of Repayments 24.

If I work out the total amount payable however from the APR is comes to £3639.30 which doesn't match???

The reason I'm asking if that the amount of the loan seems a bit suspicious to me. I don't recall much about taking it out, but the amount seems quite specific. Could the additional £100 be a case of front loaded PPI? I would not knowingly have taken this out.

    Surely if PPI had been added it would have been itemised on the statement,also £100 does not look a lot for PPI on £3000 over 2 years.

    Its not PPI. PPI has to be itemised on the agreement. Plus, the difference is far too small to be PPI.
