    Will check H.N. thanks.

    Well shure someone here might know, do they have a minimum Income figure needed for Pay Monthly option is my question...


    Also is an 1890 number free or am I paying for being on hold? I wonder is it free or local rate or something...

    Am gone over the hour mark on hold. Eff.m.l.


    It's 5.58 right now. Imagine if I get cut off in the next couple of minutes, and ring back again and get a voice telling me they're closed and to ring again tomorrow! :D

    Love cold Chicken, so tasty. Especially in Toasted Sambos.

    Love Robbie Williams too!

    Don't get many Whatscraps, so think am okay on the J.W. front but will stay on guard. en-garde?

    Couldn't ring the bloody Finance Company anyway. The silly codes involved. Phone just cutting off. Google suggests some bands of Area Codes might not be accessible on a Mobile.:rolleyes::(:( Could cry.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,131 ✭✭✭misstearheus


    Tune in later today for more of the same! :pac: Have to ring the Finance Company, will see how long it takes them to answer their Phone. I suppose at least they are opened on a Saturday. 2hours26 minutes of my life I'll never get back for frack sake. I still want to know whether I get charged for a 1890 number. Oh shure ballz I mightn't be able to ring that English number on my Mobile. :(:mad: Well ballz to that. :mad::(

    1890 number isn't free.

    Finance companies will check your credit rating, you need an income and the amount you can borrow will depend on the balance of outstanding loans, your repayment capacity and the risk for them. If you've never had credit, and therefore don't have a credit rating, they will give you a lower amount.

    Just apply and see, don't waste your time ringing.

    This may or may not entertain you �� If I ever have an on hold phone call response this shall be it.

    Currys Stores are closed. Am looking for Pay Monthly Option, which ya need to apply for in-person in-store or still would need to set it up or talk it over with someone senior on-the-phone I would imagine rather than Junior Staff or Store Desk Clerk / Sales Assistant. They do appear to still be doing sales online and delivering and answering phones.. after 2hoursand26minutes..:rolleyes: Can't purchase or request the Pay Later option via buying online though or at least if it is possible to do so I can't find where. It just asks ya for your Bank Card details for an instant purchase.

    You need to provide photographic ID, proof of address and sign the credit agreement so I'm not sure if it's possible while stores are closed to the public.

    You can apply for small loans through online banking, if approved the funds are lodged into your account. Would that help?

    I'm not great with jokes - Prefer real stories so heres one, When I was a young lad my Aunt and uncle and cousns came to visit.
    They had 2 daughters around same age as me, so we were playing hide and seek real early one morning. So I hid upstairs in the upstairs bathroom bath tub. I crouched down in the bath tub. Suddenly I heard footsteps running into the room so I jumped up out of the bath thinking I had been found. But it was my naked Aunt who was staying over who had ran across the landing from her guest room.
    So she came flying into the bathroom at good speed with her knockers bouncing around and then I jumped out of the bath just at that moment.
    She let out a scream that I'll never forget and I let out a weird noise too. I'll never forget the awkwardness. There was a few seconds where time froze and she was there naked and I was there standing in the bath tub thinking WTF happens next.
    Still to this day its etched in my memory, first time I saw a womans melons. My Aunts.
