    Unless you're a graphic designer (doing video edits) or a games programmer (so needing high end video capability), you DON'T need an £1800+ PC for work.

    So I can only presume that either one of the above applies ... or you're deluding yourself regarding requirements.

    How exactly are you improving your credit rating (which by the way, doesn't exist, it's a made up number that no-one else can see) by taking on £4K of debt at 99% APR then? Your credit history will now show that loan, and no-one else will offer you credit other than another payday loan- shark outfit.

    Maybe he's mining bitcoin in the (forlorn) hope that will improve his finances...hence the 4 grand PC. Of course all he'll end up with is a headache and a huge leccy bill.

    If it was bought for business doesn't that take away consumer rights and make it a B2B purchase? I assume he still has rights for mis described goods but they might be very different to CRA.

    OT don't want to sound harsh, but there's a clear link between people who get a bad credit rating and people who go to brighthouse. But if you were genuinely that desperate I suppose you had little other choice.
