Sainsburys tempt you in with a low interest rate so they are at the top of the best deals list, then when you apply its possible dont get the low interest rate you thought you might be getting (and was tempted with in the first place) and you dont know this until you apply, then if you dont like it your reluctant to try elsewhere because you have already just applied for credit and might not get accepted. I am trying to pay my loan off early (had it 2 months) and the interest is ridiculous, out of the £197.00 per month that I pay £57.00 is interest (over 25% of the repayment) then when you try to pay the loan off early they charge you 58 days of interest on top which in my case is around £100 to add to the early repayment. so all in all I will have made monthly repayments totalling to £592.00 over 3 monthly payments and still have to pay £9,831.50 to close my account (approx £168.00 difference between the original loan value/so everything else is interest. Don't get suckered into taking a loan from Sainburys unless your lucky enough to win the raffle and actually get the interest rate they are tempting you with. (which of course you wont know until you actually apply and create a footprint on your credit search)
