No - I am a collector and service primarily unsecured credit card debt. Per the cardholder agreement that was signed with the credit card company, the account holder is often liable for a LARGER interest rate after an account goes into collections. This may not always be the case, but I rarely see credit card collections that have interest rates lower than 18%. Finance charges are not often applicable when the tradeline has been closed and charged off into collections.

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.

If the finance charge for November is 3.82 which method of calculating the finance charge does Dennis and credit card company use?

If the finance charge for November is $3.82, it suggests that the credit card company likely uses the average daily balance method or the adjusted balance method. These methods are common for calculating finance charges, as they take into account the balance over the billing cycle rather than just the end-of-cycle balance. This allows for a more accurate reflection of interest based on the actual usage of the credit card during the month. However, without more specific details about how the balance was calculated, it's difficult to determine the exact method used.
