Looking to upgrade your gaming setup but have a less-than-perfect credit score? You're not alone! Many UK shoppers think a new console on a pay-weekly plan is out of reach if they have bad credit, but we're here to tell you there's a straightforward solution.
Let's face it, a brand-new gaming console like a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, or Nintendo Switch is a significant investment. For many, paying the full amount upfront just isn't feasible. This is where pay weekly options come in handy, allowing you to spread the cost into manageable chunks.
Traditionally, these types of payment plans often involve credit checks, which can be a real hurdle if your credit history isn't sparkling. But what if we told you there's a way to get the console you want, pay for it weekly, and completely bypass the need for a credit check?
When you apply for credit – whether it's a loan, a credit card, or even some traditional pay weekly schemes – lenders look at your credit score. This score is essentially a snapshot of your financial reliability, based on how you've managed money in the past. If you've missed payments, defaulted on agreements, or have county court judgments (CCJs) against your name, your score can take a hit. This 'bad credit' can make it difficult to be approved for new credit, as lenders see you as a higher risk.
For a console, which can cost hundreds of pounds, many retailers offering finance options will carry out a credit check. If you fail this check, you're usually denied the payment plan, leaving you to either save up the full amount or miss out. This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if you know you can afford the weekly payments, but your past financial history is holding you back.
This is where TrustPay, offered exclusively by Trusty Stores, comes into its own. TrustPay is designed specifically for everyday UK shoppers who want to buy essential and desirable items, like the latest gaming consoles, without the stress and scrutiny of a traditional credit check.
