%0 interest ?

Are you sure about that.

I suggest you to calculate how many months they will pay and how much they will pay each month.

There is an interest rate around %15 a year or two

And also sometimes they say pay back in 20 months but you can only see 18 months payment terms

When you calculate those 18 months its without interest but where are the those 2 months?

I hope there isnt anything fishy about it
