The way it works (or at least worked in 07) is that you can pay it back interest-free if you do it in two weeks. If you won't they insta add like 100%+. (It's all in the small print I didn't read, and had I read it I wouldn't have cared anyway) And from then on it's again pretty steady, like 10% more per month or something. I think I borrowed like 10k which immediately (2 weeks) turned into ~20k. I don't have the exact details without going through my records but it was approx like that.
edit: i also got a 6k bill early this year from an unpaid loan that I had accidentally missed and they hadn't sent me letters for two years. The amount was like 500 originally. I'm pretty sure I originally borrowed 10-15k and paid back 25-30k.
