What stores are the easiest to obtain credit from?

i want to purchase a television on credit. I was refused an argos store card due to my credit score being low. I am now considering going to pc world to apply for the buy it now pay later offer on any television over the price of £300. My question is will I be refused credit from there also and also what stores are the easiest to get credit from.

  • If your credit score is low then most high street stores will decline you credit - and the more times you apply the worse your credit score will become.
    Can only think that if you can sell something to raise the money or get a cheap model - have you thought of a pawn shop?

    Check your credit files and see why your being rejected first before going ahead with another application.

    Because they can't afford something more expensive.

    Merely suggesting somebody lives within their means rather than getting into unnecessary debt.

    You do make me laugh with your morals O4U not everyone who decides to take out 0% finance in store can't afford it it's convenience and also many people also have money in savings accounts where they would rather take good 0% deals while earning on their savings.
  • Might be worth checking Freecycle - it's amazing what people give away.
