Curry's TV Finance

redzhell

Good evening,

I have got a dilema which I'm hoping at least one of you will be able to help me... My other half got us a TV back in March this year with Curry.s It's one of those deals where we don't get charged interest if we pay the whole amount in a year. I've just finished watching Panorama (I love that show!) which was all about credit, debt and basically stuff to do with finance. The program then reminded me that I have not seen the paperwork for our TV since it was bought and when I asked my partner about it, he couldn't tell me what the arrangement is in terms of paying back etc. He doesn't even know where the paperwork is!

I know it's only November and I've got a few months to sort something out but I don't want to find out that we had missed the deadline for the 0% period and that we will have to pay some ridiculous amount!
Does anyone know whether they will send a reminder to say that the 0% period is coming to and end? My other half has moved from the address the TV was delivered to in May to live with me so I don't know how Curry's would be able to reach him to advice him of the finance status?

You will be sent NO reminder.
It is up to you/partner to find this information out ASAP - bear in mind some of these agreements have a fee for repaying early without interest being charged.

They dont send you a reminder because they hope you forget and then they get more money into their coffers. Find out all the information and set up a payment with your bank to pay it on the due date.

1) Get him to ring Currys to find out the date.
2) Set yourself a reminder for nearer the time.

Yea I thought they didn't send a reminder!

I'm gonna bug my partner to ring them and maybe get them to send a copy of the agreement even if we have to pay for them. I don't really know what I'm doing here as I've never had this sort of finance before and really it's not even mine as it's on his name but I agreed to pay half of it so I'm somehow responsible!

Oh goodie! Thanks mobo99 and CM. I didn't know where to look as the Currys website does not state which finance company it goes through so hey what a breakthrough!

CM could you not sleep last night? Or do you not have work today? If it's the latter, wehey!
