It is called compounded intrest, and it is legal. If you borrow $100.00 at 20%, your total debt will be $120.00 at the end of the first period. If you let that $120 ride for another period, at 20%, then you will owe $144.00 at the end of the second period. This is how credit card companies and mortgage corporations screw the consumer. There is no such thing as a simple-intrest loan in business.
