Our Finance Options & How It Works

Rifleman Firearms Limited is a credit broker, not a lender and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN 622634). We do not charge you for credit broking services. We will introduce you to Finance available from a number of our partner lenders.

0% finance with a term of 12 months or less is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.

Used responsibly, finance is a great way to spread the cost of your purchase.

To spread the cost of your purchase, simply choose Finance at the checkout and select the finance option that suits you. The application form is quick and simple and includes help text throughout to assist you. You will receive a decision from your lender in just a few seconds.

Please be aware that finance options are a form of credit. If you fail to maintain your payments, your lender could ask a debt collector to contact you or commence legal action to recover the money you owe. A poor repayment record will affect your credit file.

Check your eligibility

To be considered for finance, you will need to meet all of the following criteria:

• Are at least 18 years old.
• Are in regular full or part-time employment (minimum 16 hours per week or £10,000 income per annum), unless you are retired and receiving a private or company pension, or you are in receipt of disability living allowance.
• Are a permanent UK resident and have lived in the UK for at least 3 years.
• Have a UK bank account capable of accepting Direct Debits.
• Have a good credit history with no late payments, Debt Relief Orders, County Court Judgments or bankruptcies.

Available Finance options

We offer a range of interest-free and interest-bearing finance options to help you spread the cost of your purchase over 6 to 60-months . The value of the loan needs to be over £250 and no more than £15,000 and you can choose a deposit of up to 50% of the value of the goods.

Whichever finance option you choose to apply for, you need to be sure that you can afford to pay the deposit, and keep up with your monthly repayments. You should think about any changes to your situation that might occur during the term of the loan, which could impact on your finances - e.g. retirement, moving home, changing jobs, or any health issues which could affect your income or expenditure.

Alongside the finance calculator and on some of our promotional banners, you will also see the representative example. This could be written in a sentence, as shown in the example below, or in a table format:

Representative example

Cash price £1900.00, Deposit £190.00. Total amount of credit £640.56 over 48 months with an annual interest rate of 17.9% (Fixed). Monthly repayments will be £48.97 with a total repayable of £2540.56. 17.9% APR representative.

The representative example shows the finance information that we expect to apply to more than half of accepted applications for the specific amount and repayment term.

As we mentioned earlier, the representative example is not a quote or formal offer of finance - we display this to help you understand how much a loan will cost, and so you can compare it with other products.

Whilst these numbers are there to help you understand what a loan will cost you, it’s important that you understand any other potential costs in the terms and conditions of the finance option you select. For instance, you may be charged missed or late payment fees if you don’t keep up with your payments.

FAQs

Finance Decision

Will I be accepted for finance?

Your application will be assessed based on eligibility, credit history and affordability and Buyline will let you know the outcome in just a few seconds. Your lender will perform a ‘soft’ credit search on your credit file as part of their assessment, to determine whether the loan is affordable for you and if you are likely to make your repayments on time.

It’s important to know that if your application is accepted, a ‘hard’ credit check may be made on your credit file. Only you can see that a ‘soft’ search has been made on your credit file, but a ‘hard’ credit check will be visible to others viewing your credit file, for example, if you apply for credit in the future, the lender will see that an application credit search was made on your credit file.

In a few cases, your application may be referred to a lender for manual assessment and you’ll be notified by email of the credit decision within 24 hours.

What do I do if I have been declined?

If your application was declined, your lender may be unable to give you specific reasons why. Lenders use information from your credit report, alongside your income and expenditure data to make a lending decision. If you feel that there has been a mistake, please contact your lender - their contact details will appear on the email informing you that your application was declined.

You can also contact the Credit Reference Agencies if you think there is a mistake on your credit report:

Experian

Equifax

TransUnion

Payments and Order

How do I make my monthly payments?

Your lender will help you set up convenient, pre-authorised payments via your bank account or your credit/debit card.

Can I request delivery to an address other than my home address?

In order to safeguard against fraudulent applications, we are only able to deliver goods to your home address.

I want to amend my order.

If you have been approved for finance, the amount or term cannot be amended. You will need to contact us (your retailer) to amend the goods or services you ordered and you may need to complete a new application for finance. Please note we cannot guarantee a new credit application will be approved.

I haven't received my goods or service.

Please contact us at ask@riflemanfirearms.co.uk and we will help you.

I want to change my Direct Debit details.

Changing your payment date can only be done once the first payment has been taken. Please contact your lender to talk to them about updating your Direct Debit details.

Are there any fees or charges to pay?

There is no fee for processing your application and Deko does not charge you for its credit broking services.

Fees will be payable to your lender if you fail to maintain your repayments. Fees and charges may include late payment fees and administration/letter fees if you are issued an arrears or default notice. Full details of all fees and charges will be set out in the terms of your credit agreement.

Cancellations and Returns

I want to return my goods and cancel my finance agreement.

Please see our clause 14 in our Terms & Conditions section which can be viewed online on our homepage at www.riflemanfirearms.com. Some products cannot be cancelled, for example, made-to-order or bespoke goods, so you should check this before you complete your purchase.

Where you do have the right to cancel, you must do this within 14 days of entering into the finance agreement.

To cancel your finance agreement, please contact us (your retailer) and arrange to return your purchase or cancel the services. Once we have confirmed cancellation, we will advise your lender to cancel your finance agreement and refund any payments that have been made. If you made your purchase in-store, we will refund any deposit payment that you made. Your finance agreement can only be cancelled by your lender if your purchase is cancelled with us.

What happens to my loan if I want to return my order?

If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you can return it up to 14-days after delivery. In this case, we will notify your lender to reduce your loan amount accordingly. You will receive confirmation from your lender within 3-5 business days after we received your return in cases where a full refund is processed.

Can I withdraw from the credit agreement and pay by a different method?

You have the right under section 66A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 to withdraw from the agreement without giving any reason before the end of 14 days (beginning with the day after the day on which agreement is made or, if later, the date on which the lender will tell you that they have signed the agreement). If you wish to withdraw you must give your lender notice in writing or by telephone or email. The name and contact details of your lender will be clearly shown on your credit agreement.

Please note that if you do give notice of withdrawal, you must repay the whole of the credit without delay and in any event by no later than 30 days after giving notice of withdrawal. You will also have to pay interest accrued from the date the agreement was made until the date you repay it.
