Delivery

For all finance orders we are only able to deliver the goods to the address on your credit agreement (your home address). You will not be able to have the goods shipped to another address or collect the goods from us in person. We can only arrange the delivery of your order pending the approval of your finance application.

Declined credit applications

You will be informed if your application has been declined. The lender is unable to share the reason for decline with us. Some reasons your application might be refused include:

you do not meet the eligibility criteria (see above);
adverse credit reference agency information;
your credit score;
you are considered to be overcommitted;
your existing account performance with other lenders.

The lender will give you the contact details for the credit reference agency used. They will also give you information on how to appeal the decision if you wish to discuss the matter. Please note that the lender is unable to discuss this over the telephone due to Data Protection rules. You should also note that each lender applies its own credit score to applicants so if you have recently been accepted for credit elsewhere this does not necessarily mean that appealing the decision on this basis alone will result in a change of decision.
