    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    I went on the Choice website and requested a book, now it came up on screen, you have been pre-authorised with an £800 credit limit, I then ordered and it came up with an on screen credit agreement.

    I recommended my friend to apply, but it came back 'sorry cannot send book' or something like that. Had news fom Choice about being a Bronze, Silver, Gold customer and you get from 5% as a Silver customer up to 10%

    Seems like a decent catalogue.

    My starting limits were..Empire £750..now £1100.
    Littlewoods Direct..opened a few hrs after Empire £400 now £600
    Littlewoods..opened a couple of months later by invitation..£1200
    Would imagine that £500 is a typical starting limit as a couple of other users on here started with that :confused:
