    It's not a scam, it helps a lot if you actually read what you sign.

    True, but it doesn't help that Currys were telling people they would own them after 2 years and making it sound like finance.

    Saying that, 2 years is a long time to have not read the contract.
    Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
    Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
    Now 20% cooler

    Just for completeness:
    If you choose to lease with Infinity leasing then you will not own the computer, laptop or tablet at the end of the agreement.

    "You can understand why some customers might be confused about the Knowhow Infinity scheme. On our mystery shop visits we asked if we could keep the laptop after the two year lease period finished. Two stores said we couldn’t keep it and four said we could but failed to mention how much it would cost us. While the other nine stores did mention a fee, four of these nine stores told us the fee would only be a small one- one even said it would be as low as £40."
