Accrued interest is obtained when the payment is received to the borrower. When the payment is received, interest is then realized and deposited into your account.


How long can a company pursue you for an out standing debit?

A company can continue to collect from you indefinitely. As in, when you die, if you owe them money, they can collect from the executor of your estate, and get part of your life insurance policy. The best thing to do is to contact that company, and work out some kind of payment schedule with them, perhaps get them to work with you on lowering the interest rate, or disregarding any fees you may have accrued (ie: late fees, over-limit fees, etc)


Interest on old taxes?

Will be collected. Penalty may be abated. You had the money, you had the benefit, you will pay the interest you should have made on having it. The amount or percent is set in a schedule that changes every so often. Interest becomes tax and the government has the same power to collect it as it does a tax.


If you invest 8000 at 12 interest how much will you have in 7 years?

interest investments are collected annually (yearly) so you would take 12 % and multiply it by $8000. 8000 x .12 = 960 this means that you collect $960 annually from interest. so then multiply the $960 by your number of years (7). 960 x 7= $6720. Then you would add the interest you received from the investment and add it back to your innitial investment of $8000. 8000 + 6720= $14720.00


Is credit card interest deductible?

Sadly interest is not tax deductible, especially for individual borrowers that don't have a business. Business owners *might* be able to argue their case if they absolutely had to borrow money in order to start a business, but interest on personal credit cannot be deducted... * note: that might depends on how lenient the IRS feels for a particular industry, or even what year it is. Typically, they want all the money they can collect.

Does a security deposit collect interest?
