How long does it take to process a finance application?
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 and will receive an email confirming the Underwriter’s decision. For in-store applications, you can usually wait in the shop whilst your application is reviewed.
Underwriting hours are 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm on Saturday and 10am to 5pm 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.
What is the £99 holding fee for failed deliveries?
For V12 financed orders featuring certain larger items, such as sofas and beds, Furniture Outlet will request a pre-delivery £99 holding fee via PayPal or bank transfer. This fee will only be charged if our delivery team do not have the necessary access to complete the delivery to your property and room of choice. Otherwise, the £99 holding fee will be fully refunded once the delivery has been successfully completed.
Our product listings include the dimensions of the items and their packaging for your reference, so please measure the appropriate door frames, hallways and so on to ensure there is sufficient access for a successful delivery to your room of choice prior to placing an order.
What happens if I‘m about to move to another address?
Where possible, the address you submit to V12 for finance should exactly match the delivery address of your order. If it doesn’t match due to an upcoming move, for example, your order will be subject to a change of address request which takes 3-5 working days for V12 Retail Finance to process. V12’s change of address submissions are subject to additional checks, so it is essential that all the information you provide is correct or the application may be declined.
What should I do if my application is declined?
Applications for finance are assessed based on the information given by the customer and the information obtained from credit reference agencies. If your application is declined, V12 will give you the contact details for the credit reference agency used as you may wish to obtain a copy of your credit report. V12 are unable to share the reason for the decline with you or us.
If you would like to appeal the decision, you can do so by contacting their Underwriting Team on 02920 468 916 or underwriting@v12finance.com.
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.
