Hi Laura
I'm really sorry we couldn't help this time.
I can't give specifics as this is a public arena so please call us if you want further information - 0300 300 0975. If there is anything we can do to help let us know.
I can only give general information here; we never close the door to anyone as we know that things change over time and ask anyone we can't help immediately to apply again in 6months as this gives time for the credit history to improve.
regards
Vicky

Rubbish
I applied for a bed as being on esa for disability I can't afford to pay out for new bed in one go, the gentleman contacted me on the phone to go over my application and check my income and once I said I was unable to work due to disability and I'm on esa with 2 children he couldn't get off phone quick enough he didn't even ask my out goings like he said he would, he just turned round and said OK someone else will call today goodbye that was it and nobody else called.

Hi Craig
thanks for letting me know about your poor experience with us, and I'm sorry about this.
Scott was only able to make contact again yesterday. Our phone number comes up with 0300 at the start so I'm aware that a lot of people ignore calls from these numbers - and I'm one of them! - unless I know the number.
Please keep an eye on your emails and when Scott calls (or if you need to speak to us first) our number is 0300 500 0975.
Sorry again
Vicky
I loved how quickly i have passed
I loved how quickly i have passed even tho i have been rejected everywhere due to my credit .. only 1star off because delivery is 14days, and paid £10 deposit but still been taking my direct debit payment of £44 which is my usual monthly payment I thought it would be £10 less if i paid deposit but otherwise would definitely recommend to everyone with poor credit

Hi Donna
Thank you for your 4* review, and I'm sorry about the delivery date being 2 weeks.
We rely on suppliers as we don't have our own warehouse facility to deliver more quickly. 2 weeks is the maximum for delivery so please keep an eye on your phone for missed calls and texts. Our number is 0300 500 0975 if you need to call.
