just looking for some actual facts about this method of payment.

- Many companies, especially with big ticket items (furniture, home improvements, appliances) offer those types of purchases to people with good credit... 625-800 range... you might get away with a 600 or so, but to be considered for the 0% financing or "same as cash" offers, you'd have to be in the 625-800 range which would be "Good."
- Be careful though! At times it is better to run away from 100% financing because of higher interest rate, even if your credit score is good. For instance, if both of us were to purchase a set of furniture that costs $3,500 with same credit score. If I finance only 60% of the above amount as against your financing 100%. My interest rate would be lower than yours. However, for a credit score of 650 and above, you would be considered for a "Bill Me Later" purchase. If your credit score is not up to 650, never worry, you would exceed that figure as you continuously pay your bills on time. It is a matter of time! Be patient and manage your credit responsibly - and better times would come! Good luck and best wishes! Derrick
