Littlewoods/Very pay monthly help

Firstly i would like to apologise im new here & have no idea if this is the correct place of posting.

I am looking to buy a iphone 7 on a pay monthly plan (just the phone, no sim), these websites are willing to offer me (part) £600 credit, if i accept this credit am i obliged to any payments if i decide not to buy (as im unsure what happens as the phone exceeds the limit theyre offering me)

& Also if i was to accept the credit and try to buy a product for more than the amount given, what happens (e.g credit limit £600, phone £700)

Thanks for any help (their live chats are never not busy so cant get through to them)

    If you don't buy anything you don't pay anything. If you spend £500 then your repayments would be based on owing £500, not £600.

    If you buy something for £700 then I would expect you would have to pay them £100 up front and then pay off a loan of £600. Best place to ask would be the customer services of the company concerned.
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
