At work Nov2008 we had a dispute with our landlord, the bottom line was that the landlords solicitors sent in the bailiffs and charged £590.03 on an outstanding debt of which was at that time disputed amounting to £6050.17.
I have just worked through the scale of charges with the debt and I make it £127.15 and not £590.03 am I missing something?
I made it as follows first £100 = £21.65
next £100 x 12.5% = £12.50
next £400 x 4% = £16.00
next £1500 x 2.5% = £37.50
balance of £3950.17 @ 1% = £39.50
So how comes they make it £590.03?
Amy has already suggested to me to send an SAR which I intend to do, but before I do has anyone any ideas on how they get to this grand figure?
