Sifu,how credit card interest are calculated? Ok,my case,statement is every 5th, 5nov09 statement Rm0 outstanding Rm0 usage,then 5dec09 state came ok la Rm0,around 10dec i swipe Rm2000 after taht no more using,5Jan2010 state came Rm2000 due must pay is 25jan2010 On 7jan is issue a chqRm1987 then no more using then 5feb2010 state came the statement stated BalanceRm13 + finance charge Rm22 ,
Really that high ka the finance charge or they calculate it wrongly? All this while i pay in full so i am not very familiar with the calculation. I wanted to complain but before i do that i need to ask sifu,if not kena balik very shy la.
thank you.
Bro ... your info very messy, luckily I'm in a good mood to analyse it.
- 5th Dec cycle / 25th Dec payment due.
- You swipe RM2K on the 10th Dec and for no interest you should have paid in full on the 25th Dec
- You paid on the 7th Jan, means you incur 13-15 days of interest. Based on approx 1.5%, you attracted about RM15 in interest
- Don't forget, since you paid on the 7th Jan, there's a late penalty.
RM22 sounds kindof right. Plus your RM13 will continue to attract interest on a daily basis till you settle it.
