Can they charge me so much interest

Sorry if this seems confusing!!
I requested a settlement figure in july from my lender GEmoney, which i recieved
Bal as at 11/07/07 16,599.00
Add interest to settlle date of 08/08/07 169.65
add esf 134.15
add fee for discharge of security 200.00 (could i claim this back?)
Total Payable 17.102.80

I had to request another in august due to re-mortgage delays
BAl as at 23/08/07 16.834.25
add interest to settle date as at 22/09/07 234.66
Early settle fee 136.55
add discharge of security fee 200.00
add legal cost 453.63
:o (I had a court date set due to not paying monthly payments which were 235)
Total amount payable 17.859.09

I had paid off a lumpsum of 1180 in sept to stop it going to court,
8th Oct finally settled with them to the sum of 16.896.13. but i still think this sum is wrong. any help with this would be deeply appreciated.

    The chances are that it is wrong but whether you can do anything about it is another issue. I would need more information to advise.
    When did you take out the Loan? How much did you borrow? did you have ppi added or included? did you use a broker?
    Come back with this information then I will be able to give you a rough idea of your chances of gaining redress from GE.

    I am a former Broker, former IFA and former compliance officer, for my sins.

    However, I have since seen the light.
