No, you can hold them to what they agreed. But you ALWAYS back up telephone conversations with a written letter to the person you with whom you spoke on the phone. There is nothing like having words in black and white that stops people in their tracks and makes them listen to you. A phone can be changed or ignored down the road. Waving a letter in someone's face does a lot more good and gets a lot of attention. Besides, it makes you look like you know what you're doing and they don't. Unless the account holder has written confirmation of the agreement, he or she has no grounds on which to legally dispute the creditor's actions. In addition the creditor may apply the additional interest if at any time the account holder was in default of the original contract.

What is accured interest?

Accreud interst is interst payable that has not been paid yet: Double entry: Debit : Say Laon Interest Account Credit: Interest Payable Account Accrued Interest: This is the interest which we have earned but not yet received. Example: If there is a contract that we will receive the interest on money landed to somebody of $ 1200 at the end of the year then after 1 month we have earned the interest of $ 100 but not yet received so we will show that $ 100 in the asset side of balance sheet as accrued interest. The above is Accrued Interest Income. Similarly, you can have Accrued Interest Expense. So, using the above example, if you were the borrower, at the end of the first month you would debit Interest Expense for $100 and credit a liability account called Accrued Interest.
