Buy Now Pay Later

How do I make a payment towards my Buy Now Pay Later order?

Want to make a payment on the things you’ve bought with Buy Now Pay Later? To make a full or partial payment simply log into "My Account", choose "Make a payment", select "Pay Buy Now Pay Later" and allocate your payment to the specific item(s) you wish to pay off.

Making partial payments may result in a portion of the lump sum of compound interest being refunded at the end of the delayed payment period.

Remember, if you choose not to pay the cash price before the end of the delayed payment period any outstanding balance plus the lump sum of compound interest applied at the date of order will become payable. Interest will be charged at your account rate.

What is compound interest?

Simply put, it means interest charged on interest. On your Littlewoods account interest is charged when you order for specific repayment terms. Interest is calculated daily on the cash amount and also on the accumulated interest throughout the delayed payment and repayment period. This calculation factors in planned repayments relevant to your chosen repayment term.

Where is Buy Now Pay Later shown on my statement?

A breakdown of all Buy Now Pay Later purchases can be found in the BNPL Summary on your statement. You can also log into "My Account" and go to "Transactions & Statements" to view your Buy Now Pay Later purchases.

What is excluded from Buy Now Pay Later?

If you are experiencing financial difficulties please get in touch. Click here for details (lines are open Monday to Friday 8am – 8pm and Saturday 8am – 6pm).

What is 'Affordability' and why do you need my details?

When we assess your credit limit we ask you for some information such as your residential status and annual income, known as ‘Affordability’ questions. We use a credit reference agency to verify your responses for to help us to determine a credit limit that is affordable to you.

We will regularly assess your credit limit, verifying information provided by you with a credit reference agency (this will leave a soft search footprint on your financial record which will not be seen by third parties such as lenders).

So we can provide the best service, we expect you to provide accurate and complete information on the affordability questions, particularly with reference to any information that may impact our assessment of affordability.

How and where do I change my credit limit?

To change your credit limit or view you affordability details, log in to ‘My Account’ and go to My Credit Details.

Prior to requesting a credit limit change we need you to enter or update your affordability details, to request a credit limit change there are two options:

  1. Apply for credit limit increase
  2. Request credit limit decrease

What is Persistent Debt?

How will I know if my account is in Persistent Debt?

As part of the FCA rules on Persistent Debt we will be in touch if you have, over the past 18 months, paid more in interest, fees and charges on your account than towards paying back the amount you borrowed. Under the FCA rules this means your account is in something called “Persistent Debt”. We will monitor your account and will let you know when your account is in Persistent Debt.

18 months notification: If your account is identified as being in Persistent Debt, then we will contact you to explain your options and offer support if you need any extra help.

27 months notification: If you have not made sufficient payments to help reduce your Persistent Debt balance, we will get in touch again and explain what you need to do next.

36 months notification: If you’re still in Persistent Debt at this point, we will contact you to explain your options to repay your Persistent Debt balance over a reasonable period.

Why does it matter if I'm in Persistent Debt?

Although your credit account gives you flexibility on how to repay your balance, choosing interest free terms will reduce the cost of your borrowing over time. Having long term debt also means that you're more at risk of running into financial difficulties in the future.

Will this affect my credit score?

No, but having long term debt could mean that you’re more at risk of running into financial difficulties in the future.

Am I doing anything wrong by just paying my minimum payment?

No, but it’s worthwhile making use of our 20 week or 52 week interest free credit options for any new purchases, or choose Buy Now Pay Later where you can avoid paying interest by paying the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period. This will reduce your overall cost compared to paying over longer periods and being charged interest.

How can I avoid paying interest in the future?

Why not take advantage of our 20 week or 52 week interest free payment options for any new purchases or choose BNPL and pay the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period to avoid paying any interest. This can be done in one full payment or multiple partial payments. Making partial payments without paying the full cash price may result in a portion of the lump sum of compound interest being refunded at the end of the delayed payment period.

These options will reduce your overall cost compared to paying over longer periods and being charged interest.

We have arrangements in place with these helpline providers for them to identify the cause of any fault (we do not have the necessary technical expertise to do this) and to offer you an appropriate remedy. If you are dissatisfied with the service provided by a particular helpline, please inform us and we will take back control of the matter.

Can I have a copy of the model cancellation form?

The item I bought was part of a promotional offer, what do I need to return?

When you return an item we will identify if it is part of a multibuy deal such as ‘3 for 2’ to determine if the offer still applies. If the offer is broken, for example, you return one of your 3 for 2 items and keep the free one we will automatically reverse the offer and charge you the correct selling price for the items you keep.

Here are some examples to help explain this further:

Example 1 – You return the free item

  • You spend a total of £24 on a 3 for 2 multibuy offer.
  • The 3 for 2 multibuy is made up of: 2 items priced at £12 and 1 item priced at £10 (this becomes free as it’s the cheapest).
  • On your statement you will see 2 items showing £12 charge and 1 free item showing no charge.
  • If you return the free item then no refund will be applied as the item was not charged.

Example 2 - You return one of the items you paid for

  • You spend a total of £24 on a 3 for 2 multibuy offer.
  • The 3 for 2 multibuy is made up of: 2 items priced at £12 and 1 item priced at £10 (this becomes free as it’s the cheapest).
  • On your statement you will see 2 items showing £12 charge and 1 free item showing no charge.
  • If you return one of the £12 items, then a refund is credited to your account.
  • Because the 3 for 2 offer has now been broken, we will also automatically debit your account for the original ‘free’ item at £10.
  • Your final spend would be £22.

How do I return a parcel that has been sent to an alternative address?

Let us know you want to return in the normal way here. The person returning the parcel will need the returns code in order to return to the selected Post Office or Yodel store on your behalf . You can send them a screen shot of your returns code or forward the confirmation email.

How many labels do I need to return multiple items?

If possible, please return all items in the same parcel you only need to click 'Get Label' once and generate 1 code. If you are sending back multiple parcels you will need separate labels for each parcel as they have unique tracking numbers. Remember your returns address label will be printed for you at your chosen Yodel store or Post Office, just show your code when you hand over your parcel.

Do I need a printer for my return?

No you don't need a printer to return your items. Once you have generated your Yodel store or Post Office code you can show this in your selected store when you drop your parcel off, they will print the returns address label for you and stick it to your parcel. It’s as easy as that! To get your returns code go to 'How do I return an item' and follow the simple steps.

Direct Debits

What is a Direct Debit?

Direct Debit is a simple, safe and speedy way to pay regular bills and subscriptions automatically from your Bank Account. You choose a payment option (minimum payment or total balance) to be collected. From then on the amount will be deducted from your account on a regular basis every 28 days. Littlewoods can only take the agreed amount. When we send your statement we will tell you the amount of the payment and date of when we will request it from your Bank or Building Society. You can set up a Direct Debit online using My Account. You must be the account holder and the only person required to authorise debits on this account. The account that you use must accept direct debits (e.g., some savings accounts do not accept direct debits)

What do I do if I have a query about a Direct Debit?

If you have a query regarding an indemnity claim for your Direct Debit with Littlewoods, please speak to your bank or building society. For any other queries please contact us via webchat above.

Will my Direct Debit be taken from my bank account on the same day every month?

No, payments are requested at 28-day intervals throughout the year in line with your statement.

Can I cancel a Direct Debit?

You can cancel your Direct Debit from the Payments tab within My Account by clicking on to Direct Debit and selecting cancel. Please ensure you also cancel the Direct Debit with your bank/building society.

Your Bank or Building Society can make the cancellation up to and including the due date, but try not to leave it until the last minute or you run the risk of a payment being made. Remember that cancelling the Direct Debit simply stops paying the company. If you carry on receiving the goods or service then you will have to organise an alternative payment method.

Once my DD is set up do I have to do anything?

No, other than making sure you have sufficient funds in your account when the payment is due. To assist with this, Littlewoods will give you advance notice of the collection dates and amounts, whether you set up a Direct Debit by the telephone or Internet. It is sensible to check your Bank statement regularly to ensure that all your Direct Debits are going out as shown on your advance notice.

You may want to change your payment amount (minpay or full balance) You can do this via the Payments tab in My Account and selecting the direct debit tab.

Please note: once you have requested a Direct Debit to be set up, you will need to continue to make payments on your account as normal until your statement indicates that your payment will be taken by Direct Debit. Your statement will tell you the amount of the payment and the date it will be taken from your bank / building society account.

If I set up a Direct Debit via the Internet, what record will I have of the agreement?

You will be sent confirmation of your Direct Debit Instruction within 3 working days of your on-line sign-up, and then 14 days before the first collection. Simply check the details and contactLittlewoods if you have a query. Regardless of what method of sign-up you agree to, you are still fully covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee.

Problems setting up a Direct Debit?

If you are having difficulties setting up a Direct Debit, check the following :

  • You must be the bank account holder and the only person required to authorise direct debits on this account
  • The bank account that you use must accept Direct Debits (e.g, some savings accounts do not accept Direct Debits)
  • The name and address details held by your bank or building society must match those in My Account.
  • If you are continuing to have problems then please contact us via webchat or your bank or building society for advice

The Direct Debit Guarantee

  • This Guarantee is offered by all banks and building societies that accept instructions to pay Direct Debits
  • If there are any changes to the amount, date or frequency of your Direct Debit we will notify you normally within 14 working days in advance of your account being debited or as otherwise agreed. If you request us to collect a payment, confirmation of the amount and date will be given to you at the time of the request
  • If an error is made in the payment of your Direct Debit, by us or your bank or building society, you are entitled to a full and immediate refund of the amount paid from your bank or building society
  • - If you receive a refund you are not entitled to, you must pay it back when we ask you to
  • You can cancel a Direct Debit at any time by simply contacting your bank or building society. Written confirmation may be required. Please also notify us

What is Persistent Debt?

If you've paid more in interest and charges than you've paid off the amount you borrowed over an 18 month period, this is considered Persistent Debt by the Financial Conduct Authority.

How will I know if my account’s in Persistent Debt?

If you’re in Persistent Debt we’ll get in touch by letter or email to let you know and advise you of what actions you can take to help improve your situation.

I’ve received a letter or email from you saying I’m in Persistent Debt – have I done something wrong?

No, you haven’t done anything wrong – lots of customers making minimum or low repayments have been sent a letter or email.

What do I need to do if my account is in Persistent Debt?

We suggest you look at your finances to see if you can afford to increase the amount you pay each month. You could also try to make extra payments where possible. Taking these actions will clear your balance sooner and may reduce the cost of borrowing.

Do I have to pay my full balance in 18 months?

No, we’re not asking you to pay off your balance. You just need to pay more of the amount you’ve borrowed compared to the amount of interest and charges.

What if I don’t increase my payments?

We’ll regularly review your account and we’ll contact you again if we find that your position has not changed. To prevent you from getting into further debt, we may have to suspend your account. If this happens you won’t be able to shop on your account until we’ve agreed an appropriate plan for you to repay your outstanding balance. We may also make the credit reference agencies aware of your circumstances.

Can I just pay my minimum payment?

Yes, you can still pay just your minimum payment if money is tight one month. However, we would recommend increasing the amount you pay each month to help improve your situation

What if I can’t afford to increase my payments?

If you think that increasing your payments could be a struggle for you, please let us know and we’ll do what we can to help. Visit our page littlewoods.com/persistentdebt for more information including contact details.

Alternatively, if you’re experiencing significant or potentially long-term financial difficulties, it may be beneficial to contact a debt advice service.

Communications

Why are you emailing me letters?

We’re emailing our letters to make your shopping experience even better as well as getting information to you in a more speedy way. Letters can take up to a week to arrive, which is too late for the type of message we’re sending. It’s kinder to the environment and means we can deal with your queries faster. However, there are some letters we’ll have to continue to mail to you for security or regulatory reasons.

We’ll store the letters in ‘My Account’ for 8 weeks for you. Want to keep them for longer? No problem. You can either print them or download and save them. Just so you know, we’ll remove them after 8 weeks so that we don’t clutter your account summary tab with old information.

How secure are these emailed letters?

We’ll send you sensitive letters as a PDF that requires a password to open the attachment. The password is made up of information that we both know and we’ll tell you what we need you to input in the email. For security reasons the password will never be your account number. If you don’t want to get attachments you can opt out of these by changing your preference in the ‘My Details’ tab of ‘My Account’. If you chose not to receive PDF emails we’ll just email you to let you know we’ve put a letter in ‘My Account’ for you to view.

The letters will come from Littlewoods and you’ll see the email address displayed as notification@eletters.littlewoods.com. If you’re ever worried about whether it’s a genuine email from Littlewoods, check the email has come from this email address before opening it. Alternatively, you can sign into ‘My Account’ and view the letter safely in the account summary tab.

We highly recommend you register your own personal email address rather than a shared one to make sure no one else can have access to your personal mail.

Why am I not getting letters emailed to me?

We won’t send you emails if you’ve not registered in ‘My Account’ or if we can’t deliver emails to you. If we haven’t got your postcode or phone number we can’t construct a password to protect your letter, so we’ll tell you it’s in ‘My Account’ instead. (You can add a phone number/post code if it’s missing in ‘My Details’ at any time).

How can I prevent my identity from being stolen?

Ensure all your personal details are kept confidential. Avoid giving them out easily and store them in a secure location.

Destroy documents such as bank and other credit statements, household bills and receipts that may show your name, or other personal details.

Make sure that you thoroughly check through statements from the bank, building society or credit cards for unknown transactions.

Fully close accounts that you no longer want to use, and change the addresses on them when you move.

How do I identify spoof emails?

You may receive emails claiming to have been sent by us with subjects such as:

‘Your account has been suspended’ or ‘Online account expired?’

Usually, these emails have not been sent by us and are actually forged. They’re designed to encourage you to click the links in them and to log in to your account.

These emails are known as phishing emails and use genuine company logos and addresses to look and feel like they’ve come from the company. The links in these emails usually direct you to a fake login page, which looks exactly like the real login page. If you log in, your account details are stolen and may be used to access your account or commit fraud.

Should you receive a suspicious email claiming to have been sent by us, you can forward it to customersecurity@theverygroup.com where we can check its validity. If it’s a phishing email we’ll investigate further. When forwarding suspicious emails, please don’t change the subject in the email as this can be useful to us. If possible, please attach the email to a new email and submit it to us.

Please don’t click on any of the links in the suspicious email as the purpose of the email is to guide you to a website in order to collect personal information and commit identity theft or other crimes.

If you’ve entered, or suspect you may have entered, your account details into a phishing website, please follow the information on the ‘What can I do if I feel I have been the victim of identity theft’ page.

Please note that we won’t be able to respond to all of the emails sent to customersecurity@theverygroup.com.

Is it safe to key in my SecureCode or Verified by Visa password online?

No one at Littlewoods can read your password. The information you enter on the screen is sent securely to your card provider who’ll check it against your registration details and let Very know whether the payment can be accepted. Card suppliers will vary in the amount of information they’ll ask for to verify your SecureCode. Many will only ask for some of the characters. It’ll be similar to the process you go through if you currently use online banking.

What should I do if I have a Security or Privacy concern about my data or account

If you believe that the Security or Privacy of your account or Personal data held by us has been compromised, please contact us on securityandprivacy@theverygroup.com with a description of your concern and contact details to allow us to investigate.

Someone has tried to access my account

Concerned that someone may have tried to access your account.

What is 'Affordability' and why do you need my details?

When we assess your credit limit we ask you for some information such as your residential status and annual income, known as ‘Affordability’ questions. We use a credit reference agency to verify your responses for to help us to determine a credit limit that is affordable to you.

We will regularly assess your credit limit, verifying information provided by you with a credit reference agency (this will leave a soft search footprint on your financial record which will not be seen by third parties such as lenders).

So we can provide the best service, we expect you to provide accurate and complete information on the affordability questions, particularly with reference to any information that may impact our assessment of affordability.

How and where do I change my credit limit?

To change your credit limit or view you affordability details, log in to ‘My Account’ and go to My Credit Details.

Prior to requesting a credit limit change we need you to enter or update your affordability details, to request a credit limit change there are two options:

  1. Apply for credit limit increase
  2. Request credit limit decrease

What does each of the ‘Affordability’ questions mean?

Residential Status - This best describes the accommodation you live in, for example if you rent or own your property.

Employment Status - You’ll need to tell us if you are working and the status of your current job. If you don’t currently work, select ‘unemployed’.

Annual Income - Is the total income you earn per year, this includes your salary before tax and any benefits or pensions you may receive.

Total household Income - Is the combined income earned per year before tax of every person in the household, also includes benefits or pensions received by household members.

Number of Dependants - Anyone living within your household that is dependent on your financial support for example children or older relatives.

Do you check my affordability details with a credit reference agency?

We do verify information provided by customers with a credit reference agency, this verification will leave a soft search footprint on your financial record which will not be seen by other third parties such as lenders.

We are committed to being a responsible lender who acts in the best interests of its customers. This means we have a responsibility to our customers to be open and honest, and to treat them fairly.

  2. Go to My Credit Details
  3. Then select Manage credit limit offers

If you’ve requested a credit limit change and don’t receive the desired outcome, it’s because we always aim to be a responsible lender, so any limit provided will take into account your affordability information, external credit reference agency data and available internal information.

As a responsible lender we want to ensure that you can afford the credit limit provided. We encourage you to be open and transparent when answering affordability questions so that we can properly assess your financial situation

My circumstances have changed and I’ve been refused a credit limit increase?

We verify affordability details with an external credit reference agency, it may take the credit reference agency up to 30 days to update your credit file to reflect your new circumstances.

Why can’t I decrease my credit limit?

You can request a decrease to your credit limit whenever you want, your current balance will determine if your limit can be decreased.

I've reached my limit for the number of times I can request a credit limit change or update my affordability questions online?

We’ve limited the number of times you can request a credit limit change or update your affordability details online within a rolling 30 day period, this limitation does not apply when your request is performed by our Customer Services Team.

How do I recycle waste electrical products?

Why recycle?

Unwanted electrical equipment is the UK’s fastest growing type of waste. Many items can be repaired or recycled, saving natural resources and the environment. If you do not recycle, electrical equipment will end up in landfill where hazardous substances will leak out and cause soil and water contamination – harming wildlife and human health.

We can help...

We are pleased to offer our customers the chance to recycle their old electrical items when purchasing a new item from us. Simply take your old electrical product to our Wrexham Distribution Centre at Bryn Lane, Wrexham Industrial Estate, Wrexham LL13 9UT and we will take it off you and recycle it free of charge.

What is Buy Now Pay Later?
Buy Now Pay Later is an interest bearing option that allows you to delay payments on your purchases for up to 12 months. The delayed payment period starts from the date of order (including pre-ordered items and those not ready for immediate dispatch).

You can choose:
A delayed payment period of 12 months and then a repayment period of 104 weeks when you spend £50 or more.
A delayed payment period of 12 months and then a repayment period of 156 weeks when you spend £99 or more.

How interest is calculated?
Interest will be charged for the delayed payment period and the chosen repayment period.

Interest is calculated and compounded daily at a typical rate of 44.9% per annum for the delayed payment period and repayment period and is charged to your account at date of order as a lump sum. This calculation factors in the planned payments that are requested during the repayment period. Your interest rate is personal to you and will be detailed in checkout.

How to avoid paying interest?
You can avoid paying all interest for both periods by paying the cash price before the end of the delayed payment period. This can be done in one full payment or multiple partial payments.

Making partial payments may result in a portion of the lump sum of compound interest being refunded at the end of the delayed payment period.

Remember if you choose not to pay the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period any outstanding balance plus the lump sum of compound interest applied at the date of order will become payable.

How do I make a Buy Now Pay Later payment?
To make a full or partial payment simply log into My Account, choose "Make a payment", select "Pay Buy Now Pay Later" and allocate your payment to the specific item(s) you wish to pay off. Alternatively, you can call us.

What happens after the delayed payment period?
If you have not made any payments towards your Buy Now Pay Later, the outstanding balance plus the lump sum of compound interest will be payable across your chosen repayment period. This will now be included in your account minimum payment request each month.

If you have made partial payments, but not cleared the full cash price before the end of the delayed payment period, the outstanding balance plus a reduced lump sum of compound interest will become payable. The repayment amount agreed for the repayment period will remain the same, meaning the repayment period may be shorter than originally agreed.
If you have paid the cash price in full before the end of the delayed payment period, you will not pay any interest.

What is excluded from Buy Now Pay Later?
The costs for delivery, installation services and any warranty and insurance products cannot be placed on Buy Now Pay Later. Buy Now Pay Later availability is subject to your credit and account status.
