Our payment plan options

We offer 19.5% interest bearing finance option to help you spread the cost of your purchase over 1224 or 36 months. The value of the loan needs to be over £250 and you can choose a deposit of up to 50% of the value of the goods.

Paying with finance

Once you have requested to pay with finance, we will set up a proposal online and you will receive a link from Duologi. You will then be taken to the application form, which takes just a few minutes to complete.

 

 

Finance decision

 

Your application will be assessed based on various factors including eligibility, credit history and affordability and Duologi will let you know the outcome of their decision in just a few seconds. It’s important to know that when applying for finance a hard credit check is made and this is recorded on your credit file.

Once approved, you just need to digitally sign your credit agreement, pay your deposit and then wait for your order to arrive.

In a very few cases, your application may be referred to a lender for manual underwriting. In such cases you’ll be notified by email of the credit decision within 24 hours. If you’re not approved for finance it could be for a variety of reasons. You should gain a copy of your credit file and this will be able to give you more information.

Repaying the loan

Your first direct debit payment will be taken about 30 days after you have received your purchase. This will show on your statement as a payment to Specialist Lending Ltd. You have the right to repay all or part of the loan early at any time.

 

Cancellation

There is a 14-day cooling off period where you can withdraw from the credit agreement after signing your documents. If you wish to do this, you need to notify Duologi.

A finance agreement does not affect our standard refund and returns policy. Just contact us and we can cancel your application and Duologi will refund your deposit. They will let you know of any outstanding balance if applicable.

For any other questions contact us on telephone or via email.
