Finance Decision
Your application will be assessed based on eligibility, credit history and affordability and Deko will let you know the outcome in just a few seconds. It’s important to know that when applying for finance a credit check is made which is recorded on your credit file.
The loan amount, loan term and interest rate the lender is willing to offer you will be decided based on these checks and the lender’s decisioning policies.
Once approved, Deko will provide you with full details about your lender, including how to contact them. You then just need to digitally sign your credit agreement, pay your deposit and wait for your order to arrive.
In a few cases, your application may be referred to your lender for manual assessment and you’ll be notified by email of the credit decision within 24 hours. If you’re not approved for finance, it could be for a variety of reasons and the lender will be able to give you more information.
Repaying the loan
Your first Direct Debit payment will be taken about a month after you receive your purchase. This will show on your statement as a payment to your lender. You have the right to repay all or part of the loan early at any time.
Cancellation
There is a 14-day cooling-off period where you can withdraw from the credit agreement after signing your documents. If you wish to do this, please contact us (your retailer) directly. We can cancel the application on your behalf. There is no need to contact Deko or your lender.
A payment plan does not affect our standard refund and returns policy. Just contact us and we’ll cancel your application, and the lender will refund your deposit and let you know if you have any balance to repay.
