c) in the case of a large agreement-
i) at a fixed rate of interest, an early termination charge no more than a prescribed charge or, if no charge has been prescribed, a charge calculated in accordance with sub-paragraph (ii); or

The fixed monthly service fee cannot be added to settlement amount. Thieving bastards.



Actually the service fee is the maximum amount that can be charged as per the NCA and is open to negotiation.... but nobody ever bothers to query ......
