    Hi,

    I appreciate your comments but it's just such a small outlay and considering we have bought most furniture up front, I feel as though we wouldn't be making the most of the 0% by paying it off this month especially when we have more things to purchase. I think if I didn't have as much left over each month after mortgage,bills etc then yes you would be absolutely right.

    Its a DFS sofa. Pay it off asap, as you'll more than likely need to replace it within two years.

    I agree, plus at over £1000 you've probably paid interest anyway:confused:

    DFS furniture carries a 2 year guarantee,(and I believe certain products a 5 year guarantee), so it would be replaced/repaired by them within 2 years.

    I know a couple of people,(one a trading standards officer), who have had and are satisfied with DFS furniture for over 5 years.

    I am not saying they are the best, but they are still there,(ye like some DG companies), but I decided to try them after spending a lot of money on a so called premier company and they sold me rubbish, only time will tell.

    Thanks for your completely useless reply...clearly you have the IQ of a complete monkey if you think I have not already considered that. I think the more sensible forum users will realise that what I am asking mainly concerns the credit agreement! Complete chissler!

    What a horrible person you are. I have seen some nasty comments on here recently but that is just completely uncalled for.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Here, here. Unbeleivably rude, and taking the time to write that kind of abuse if far more pointless than the comments of frugalmacdugal and McAzreal. :huh:
