Not all catalogue companies charge more than the high street. Very are often top of the price comparison lists.

And which 'price comparison lists' would they be?

Just asking, you understand.

I would say you had a lucky escape. Why pay for christmas on credit and then spend all of next year until next christmas paying it off?

Is this correct? I thought you had to be 18 to obtain credit.

There's no legal lower age limit as far as I'm aware. You can borrow money at any age.

If you call them you may find out why and you may be able to fix it. If very won't give you credit you have a serious issue on your credit files. They have exceptionally low lending criteria.

Lenders like barclaycard and very don't just change their minds on a whim. You have an issue and sticking your head in the sand and ignoring them won't solve it.

They may just wanna do some additional checks that involves speaking to you...

Thats not good at all folks, very annoying. However why would you want to purchase from these catalogue type companies? They are way over priced anyway and the interest they charge you is normally ridiculous! You have had a close escape in my book,

Not true. Case in question I wanted a Miele V cleaner and did a google search and Very came out cheapest at £149.00. I applied for an account and was given £1k credit limit but ask them to reduce to £150 because I would not use the account again.

The deal I got was pay nothing for 12 months and if paid in full by November then no interest charges would be applied.

So if you do your research carefully they can be a good company to buy from.

As Mable has said, google search and the like.
Not quite sure of the wording of your question, sounds a bit condescending.

With regards to the OP, why would you not want to speak to customer services? In my personal experience every time I've spoke to them they've been very helpful and courteous. Why would you come and rant and rave on here and then when you are given a solution decide not to go with it?

When I opened my very account I placed my order but somehow it didn't go through so I phoned them up and asked. They said because I was a new customer and buying something on credit they needed to authorise the first transaction by verifying my details.

They may want to do the same with yourself.

I concur, I found certain things to be cheaper in Very.

Vax Hoover £199 in Argos, £129 in Very
32" Toshisba TV, cheapest i found it was £269, £239 in Very
Diesel jeans for the husband generally £149 in stores, £89 in Very.
Ugg boots, £130 in shops, £100 in Very
All the bedroom furniture came from Very in the end, 3 door wardrobe, large chest of draws and 2 bedside units. All for about £520 in the sale. And its lovely!!
