DEBT ADVICE:

Here at Pay Later Carpets, we understand that from time to time, unforeseen issues can arise regarding personal finances. As a responsible lender, we want to be as supportive as possible to any of our customers who may find themselves in such circumstances. We are happy to offer any support we can to alleviate stress or worries regarding agreed repayment plans and in these situations, we are available to discuss repayment arrangements to try to find a solution to suit all. If you are having difficulty in making or keeping up with any payments, please contact us immediately to discuss options and solutions.
