What is a Very or Littlewoods account?
At Marsh Finance, we know how important a good credit score is, especially when applying for car finance. This article explains how having a Very or Littlewoods account can affect your credit score.
Very and Littlewoods, part of Shop Direct, offer products like clothes and electronics with a credit account option called Very Pay. These accounts work like store cards, letting you buy items and pay over time. They have a high interest rate of 39.9%, so it’s best to borrow small amounts or pay off your balance quickly to avoid high charges.
You can apply for an account on their websites. They have an eligibility checker to see if you qualify. Once approved, you get access to an app to manage your account with flexible payment options, including an interest-free period if you pay in full within three months.
Your credit limit with Very or Littlewoods depends on a credit check. Their lending criteria might be more relaxed than car finance lenders, but your credit score still affects your borrowing limit. If your credit score is low, they might give you a lower credit limit.
Using a Very or Littlewoods account responsibly can help improve your credit score. Making purchases and paying them off on time shows lenders you are reliable. But, late or missed payments will hurt your credit score, so only borrow what you can repay comfortably.
