Can I Buy a TV with Bad Credit Score?
Yes, absolutely! The straightforward answer is yes, you can buy a TV even if you have a bad credit score. Many traditional retailers and finance options might look closely at your credit history, making it challenging to secure credit with a low score. However, there are alternative solutions designed specifically for people in your situation, and TrustPay is one of the best available in the UK.
At Trusty Stores, we understand that life happens, and a past financial hiccup shouldn't stop you from enjoying a new television. That's why we offer TrustPay – a 0% APR, no-credit-check facility up to £1,200, specifically designed to help you get the TV you want without the stress of credit rejections.
How Does TrustPay Work for People with Bad Credit?
TrustPay is different from traditional finance options. When you apply for TrustPay at Trusty Stores, we don't run a credit check that could negatively impact your credit score or lead to rejection based on your financial history. Instead, we look at your current ability to make repayments. This means we focus on your present income and outgoings, not what happened in the past.
Here’s a quick overview of how it works:
- No Credit Checks: Your credit score isn't a factor in your application.
- 0% APR: You won't pay any interest on your purchases. What you see is what you pay.
- Flexible Repayments: Spread the cost over manageable weekly or monthly payments.
- Up to £1,200 Store Credit: Plenty of scope to get a great TV.
- Quick Decision: You'll usually get an instant decision, so you can choose your TV and take it home without delay.
This approach opens up opportunities for everyone, including those with CCJs, IVAs, or simply a limited credit history. Our goal is to make shopping for a new TV simple and accessible.
What Kind of TVs Can I Get with TrustPay?
With up to £1,200 in store credit, you have a wide range of TVs to choose from at Trusty Stores.

Why TrustPay is a Great Option for UK Shoppers
Beyond just helping you get a TV with bad credit, TrustPay offers several benefits that make it an attractive choice for many UK consumers:
- Budget Management: The fixed, interest-free payments help you manage your finances without unexpected costs.
- Access to Essentials: It provides access to important household goods, like a television, which has become a central part of modern home life for news, entertainment, and connection.
- No Hidden Fees: Transparency is key. You'll know exactly what you're paying and when.
- Building Trust: While TrustPay doesn't report to credit bureaus, successfully managing your TrustPay account demonstrates responsible financial behaviour, which can be personally reassuring.
Are There Any Downsides?
It's important to be realistic about any financial product. With TrustPay, the main 'limitation' is that it's store credit, meaning you can only use it at Trusty Stores. While this is perfect if you're specifically looking for a TV or other household electronics we stock, it's not a general-purpose loan. Always ensure you can comfortably meet the repayment schedule before committing to a purchase.
Remember, while TrustPay doesn't perform a credit check, we do assess your affordability to ensure the repayments are sustainable for you. This is a responsible lending practice designed to protect both you and Trusty Stores.
Frequently asked questions
Will applying for TrustPay affect my credit score?
No, applying for TrustPay will not affect your credit score. We do not conduct hard credit checks through credit reference agencies, so your application won't leave a footprint on your credit file.
What if I already have other finance agreements?
Having other finance agreements doesn't automatically disqualify you from TrustPay. Our assessment focuses on your current income and expenditure to determine if you can afford the repayments without overstretching your finances.
How quickly can I get approved and take my TV home?
Many TrustPay applications receive an instant decision. Once approved, you can typically choose your TV and take it home the very same day, subject to stock availability and store opening hours.
