    I wouldn’t even consider borrowing at 9% for new windows. Obviously rates are dependent on credit rating but if I had to pay that much I just wouldn’t borrow!

    I did with intention of overpaying, not immediately though late Summer time.
    HFC aka Nevunos Finance are very good at using example of interest saved when increasing repayments.
    I've never been in headline selected few of 3.8% apr etc.
    Windows were essential, it's a reminder of what could be required after moving into pre owned flat.
    Only decision is Bathroom walls, though not going to be 22' maybe next year if possible.

    Some mser's can enjoy my recent dropped 49 points whilst clearscore view EV+Admiral+Furniture finance as three 'loans'.
    Personally I enjoy the challenge of next three or more years.

    Your credit score means very little, however I am certain that there are no MSE'rs in this thread that would enjoy seeing your"score" or credit record moving to an adverse position.  The overwhelming advice in this thread (and others) has been to reduce your reliance on credit.  You may enjoy the challenge of managing the next three years, but that is not an approach that has been recommended on here

    No harm taken, once Aqua is added I expect further temp score drops over 2022.
    I continue to enjoy changes in visual score since I use credit again, whilst the numbers are of no particular use the changes 'seen' can be quite helpful.

    though that's for another thread.

    thanks

    9.9% actually ;)

    But don't worry, utilisation on the credit card is low!

    NO, I know of purchase offer 0% 4 months
    +balance transfer offer 0% 7 months
    My question was how does Aqua BNPL offer differ, is it for example any specific retailers.
    0% 3 months.

    I have used bnpl though offers from retailers, apart from paypal credit, this Aqua bnpl offer is 1st ive seen from a credit card provider.
