Catalogue Finance Claims - What’s it all about?

A lot of UK households have purchased daily items through catalogues including clothes, electronics, kitchen items, gifts, toys and more. Whilst you can usually buy these products upfront, there is always an option to purchase these using different credit options, including catalogue credit cards or Shop Now, Pay Later.

These financial options can often seem appealing to spread repayment and come with other incentives such as discounts or points, but they can be very expensive ways to buy goods and a lot of people have fallen into the trap of overpaying for products and getting into debt, whilst catalogue companies were not carrying out sufficient checks.

“The interest rates charged by catalogue firms are very high, with some charging as much as 50% APR. If you have struggled to repay, you can now submit a claim with Forces Compare and get this refunded back to you.”

Catalogue Credit Account Claims and Refunds

Catalogue firms offer a service called a ‘credit account’ which means that you do not have to pay anything upfront for an item, but you are sent a monthly statement with details of what you owe and the minimum repayment.

With rates of around 20% to 50% APR, this is an expensive way to purchase any everyday item and is more on par with the interest rates charged to people with very bad credit histories.

If you were to purchase £850 worth of goods using a JD Williams credit account and spread repayment over 12 months, you would pay a total of £1,014.98, with 39.9% APR (Annual Percentage Rate). Customers are offered minimum payment, but will be charged £12 each month that they miss one.

In addition, customers are often given credit limits on their accounts without any formal checks such as proof of income, credit checking or affordability. For example, Littlewoods offer a catalogue credit card with a limit up to £1,500 – and customers may not be able to afford this financially.

Shop Now, Pay Later Claims

With Shop Now, Pay Later, you can buy items and delay repayments for up to 12 months. If you have not fully paid the amount by this date, you will be charged a high interest rate, including 39.9% (Fashionworld) and 44.9% (Next and Littlewoods).

If you were caught in a position struggling to repay, the interest can quickly start to add up and for many customers, they have had to use additional loans to clear their debts.
