    Hello preable

    I think the experts on the 'Loans' board will be able to help you, so I'll move your thread across.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse&#64;moneysavingexpert.com"]!!!!!![/EMAIL].

    Regards

    I think you pay way over the odds for items you get from them. I know they were mentioned some time ago on BBC watchdog along with other companies that do these type of loans for goods etc

    If you need something like a tv/laptop cant your mum lend you the money and pay her back

    they are very expensive and charge at least 29.9% APR interest.

    It would be much better to save up the money first and so avoid paying t the interest and then try other stores to see if they are cheaper.
