Applying for Credit Online Times Out

SorrelRadish

I am trying to buy something on the Apple Store website using Barclays Finance. As I am running a business at the same time, my application has timed out twice. I have had two emails from Apple saying that I was declined credit so the sale has been cancelled. That's fine, but does this count on my credit file? Should I try again now that the office is quieter or stop?

I don't think that would be the reason it's timed out.

Sorry, I was unclear. I placed the order with Apple and was sent to the credit application. The application timed out because I did other stuff like answering the phone and explaining something to a colleague. When I turned back to my computer, it had timed out. What I am worried about is: does each time the credit application times out count as a declined credit application? Should I start a third application or stop and try in a few days' time?

If you didn't successfully submit the form, then no it shouldn't record it

Best thing to do is check your credit files and see if the searches are recorded on there
