V12 Finance

Hello people, just a quick thread re V12 Finance.
I have two accounts with V12 and learned that they only search CallCredit and only report account conduct to CallCredit, so if you have a clean file with callCredit and you need to buy something on credit, then you might be in luck.
APR for std credit is 19% .
Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Can you name a few larger stores (electrical) that use V12 please mate, like do sony centre? Interesting to know that actually, being my CC credit report is actually empty! I could test the water so to speak :rotfl:

    They must be using Hitachi for the finance instead of Clode Retail.

    I rang them up v12 the girl told me they search callcredit which would mean only one search for my cashplus in a year, I went through laptopsdirect got to cart finance options etc.

    Now then it redirected me to the v12 site went through all my details AGAIN only to be declined now either they arent using callcredit or there accept score is sky high? as everything is on time and most accounts have small balance with less than £1k debt to my 50k salary.

    Anyone else had problems with this v12?

    Never had a problem with an application, try ringing them up in Cardiff (Clode Retail) and ask to speak to somebody and they will give you a reason.

    So Basically by your credit file they can assume that you will clear the finance before the interest free period is up and they will make no money from you.

    .......... Declined:eek:
    Ps I see your salary has more than doubled since oct 2009 well done

    Yes I changed jobs in January to a client analyst role in central london life is good I have cleared all my debts.

    I had an email from them stating the following

    I subscribe to checkmyfile & my report for callcredit there is no credit searches(shock) and only 1 audit footprint my score for them was 797 without this application.

    I am on the voters 7 accounts open, but 6 have a zero balance and the vanquis one shows £232 outstanding, but it has been paid off in full as it always is every single month by direct debit, but only has a limit of £250 so 93% doesn't go in my favour.

    I have min £2500 in my current account since sept 09 with £3200 net going in by bacs, but I guess v12 didn't take this into account.

    I rang them to find out what they are thinking declining me!, they said no negative info just score too low? i just bought it with my debit card anyways.
