Loan Repayment Calculation Help Please

Hi, Can someone give me an indication of what the interest on weekly repayments should be? There's conflicting amounts coming out the last few weeks...

Hi,

Can someone give me an indication of what the interest on weekly repayments should be?

There's conflicting amounts coming out the last few weeks... I think as a result of a mess up with the lending institution who didn't set up the repayments the first few weeks.

I took out a loan of €10,000. It's a standard 8.68% APR. I agreed to pay €70 back weekly.

One week I was charged €6.70 interest (€63.30 deducted from loan), the following week I was charged €15.53 interest (€54.47 deducted from loan).

Could this have anything to do with them not taking any deductions for the first 4 weeks due to their mix up?

When I contacted them about it they deducted €280 from my savings account where €59.35 was interest (€220.65 deducted from loan).

Just wondering if I'm being penalised for late repayments?

It looks like almost 20% went on interest with the €280 deduction and the week where €15.53 went on interest with almost 10% going on interest the week €6.70 was taken.

Thanks
