Declined for loan and confused

For the almost nothing in interest that you would earn, I’d argue it’s more hassle than it’s worth.0

just a update , due to an unexpected vet bill caused by my dog having her spleen removed I went with the loan...however this is the awesome part the ring I initially ordered had sold out and would take 12 weeks to order so the jewellers allowed me to pick a ring upto the value of £3799 and they would honour and reduce the cost to match the £1800 loan! so today I picked up the new ring Which would have cost £3600 and its amazing compared to the 1800 one. I never get any good luck and I really excited to see the reaction for the ring ive picked.0

Glad it all worked out for you
in terms of why they initially declined you, if you've had a loan with them before and paid it off in a short space of time, you may be have been flagged as potentially money laundering, as that's one of the tactics used. glad it was approved in the end though and hope your dog is feeling better!0 -
All that says to me is that you were being bent over on the retail price of the ring.the jewellers allowed me to pick a ring upto the value of £3799 and they would honour and reduce the cost to match the £1800 loan! so today I picked up the new ring Which would have cost £3600 and its amazing compared to the 1800 oneWhat goes around - comes around0 -

Away and rain on someone else's parade, I'm an old cynic now but I remember being young and in love!
OP I am delighted you have a much nicer ring and I wish you well with it!2021 GC £1365.71/ £24000 -
Just as an experiment, take it to another jeweller and see how much they offer for it.
£400-500 tops I bet."There are not enough superlatives in the English language to describe a 'Princess Coronation' locomotive in full cry. We shall never see their like again". O S Nock0
