  5. APPLYING FOR FINANCE

    With most applications, we expect that you will be given an acceptance or decline decision within 10-20 seconds. In some cases, V12 may return the decision as 'referred'. You will then be contacted for further information. Once the underwriters have made a decision you will receive an email confirming their decision. For in-store applications, you can usually wait in the shop whilst the underwriters review your application. Underwriting hours are 8 am to 8 pm, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 5 pm on Sunday & Bank Holidays. If your application is referred outside of these hours then you may have to wait until the next working day for the decision.

  6. DECLINED CREDIT APPLICATIONS

    Should V12 decline your application they are unable to share the reason for the decline with you or us.

    V12 will give you the contact details for the credit reference agency used. They will also give you information on how to appeal the decision if you wish to discuss the matter further. Please note that V12 is unable to discuss this over the telephone. You should also note that each lender applies its own credit score to applicants so if you have recently been accepted for credit elsewhere this does not necessarily mean that appealing the decision on this basis alone will result in a change of decision.

    For orders made online or via mail order using finance we are only able to deliver the goods to the address on your credit agreement or an address approved by V12. The collection of goods from the store or delivery of goods to addresses not approved by V12 is not permitted.
