    I take it you have heard of Hitachi, they make TV's ?

    Well they have moved into the finance sector. Google or search the forums for Hitachi finance.

    Not used them myself but have seen them mentioned on here.
  • I have bought a sofa from DFS using them and my fiance got an audio system using from Bose using a 12 month loan in April. They have been ok so far. Nothing to complain about.
  • Yes, used for treadmill purchased and suite without any problems!

    They are a large Japanese bank as well as a manufacture, They are very sound and do a lot of credit. Ikea use them as well.

    they also do 0% finance for oak furnitureland.
    No problems with them so far, although haven't got the payment stage yet, but the application process, information, and account website all seem to be accurate.

    We use them for vehicle finance for the company, and they're brilliant to deal with.

    The rates they're offering should be on the 'best buy' tables. Just e-mailed MSE to let them know.
