After pay is cool they gave me limit of 1000 bucks. You can move payment back week if you don’t have the breed.

I use it to buy high end shoes that cost 200 plus. Which I only did one time. It’s just sitting around honestly.

I always wondered what's the point of this? If I have the money to buy something I'd rather buy it in a credit card and get 2-6% cash back on the purchase. If I don't have the money at the moment as long as I'm gonna have it that month I'd still do that.

If I'm not going to have the money for a while then I'll just wait. These services seem like a normalization of debt. It's worse though because you get benefits and instant gratification with a credit card. You lose benefits and just get the instant gratification here.

Don't they only report to credit bureau if you're late? I guess it doesn't eat up your limit but you also aren't getting price protection, a doubling of the product warranty, or 2-6% cash back in the purchase.

The advantage of this I guess is a longer term to pay. Even then on some credit cards you can set up a plan or on a store card you can get financing at 0% for a longer term.

These are just some middle man stepping in and wiping out your benefits on credit cards for naked financing.

Automatic drafts? You giving a bytch access to your account for a fukking TV?

I cant stand how these people create shyt to just pillage the avg man pockets

Impulse buys lol nikka said a deal on a TV nikka them shyts on sale every other few days

well you're right it's predatory in a way cuz you know people always making late payments and they take a fee from that. They also charge the merchants a fee to work with them. But if you make your payments in time theres no interest, no hidden fees, nothing

Seems like something for subprime borrowers that can't really afford to get what they're buying at the moment and their credit is dodgy.

Literally the only benefit to this is get the thing now for payments.

A TV ain't an impulse buy either. Either you need a TV or you don't.
