Bright House and Argos offer a pay weekly finance plan but they do charge interest. If you prefer to make weekly payments this plan is for you.
Beware of high interest charges, typically Bright House charges 99.9% APR for their Pay Fortnightly or Pay Weekly Plans. These plans are very easy to get approved for and they welcome people with bad credit too.
Nintendo Switch Bad Credit Finance
What about a poor credit history? Missing payments can lead to an adverse credit report. Some of the retailers mentioned above are unlikely to approve you of credit even though they have relatively loose credit approval process.
There is a company called Lintronics.UK which offers credit to people with poor credit scores and the great thing is they offer 0% APR and boast they offer credit to 96% of their customers. This is a company you should check out if you want to buy a Nintendo Switch and are worried about your credit score.
