right explain the circumstances a bit better?
!!!!!! is the £1k for?
why remain with them for 1 year if they didn't sell the house???
oh and if you for example the debt was from 01/10/07 - then the interest charged would be £5.06 upto 24/10/07!
daily interest charged is 22p if the debt is £1000.0 -
£1k is an estimate of their costs, advertising fees, etc. They claimed to have found a buyer in mid_june, then spent the next 5 months being incompetent before realising that the guy's business had only been upnrunning for a short time, so in the end he couldnt get any sort of mortgage offer. In the meantime the agent told me his finances were sound, then they failed to track progress, until 5 months later when the whole thing flopped. Consequently the house was off the market, considered by them to be sold.0

As I said earlier, it is an annual charge of 8% calculated on a daily basis, not 8% added each day.0

what so you signed an agreement, that regardless if they sold the house or not, you would have to pay their fees?
if you did then unlucky, but to be honest fees are only normally paid on completion of a sale.0
