No. A credit company can not charge you interest on top of interest. With that said if you have a balance of $1000 and the company charges you $20 interest for that month. Next month a new balance is created $1020 then the company can charge you interest on $1020.00 if you fail to pay the $20 interest at the minimum. Interest is a finance charge and so long it does go over 59.9 per cent it is legal even on closed accounts. This is called accrued interest. If your account is closed due to unforseen of financial circumstances contact the credit and work out a payment arrangement and request interest to be stop. Many creditors will do so if the amount is paid in a timely manner usual 6-9 months. Otherwise consumer proposal is an option.
