How to take a washing machine by installments

Was the washing machine broken, but there is no money for a new one? There is a way out if you buy a car by installments. Stores offer various conditions of purchase by installments and on credit, because these are the most popular consumer loans today. How to draw up an installment agreement not to be cheated - we’ll talk about this.

What does it mean to buy by installments?

Buying a washing machine by installments means paying in installments at regular intervals without paying interest on installments. Simply put, there is no installment plan for any overpayment and no interest. And this is its main difference from the loan.

An important difference of the installment plan is that the store employee (manager, seller) must deal with it, and the bank employee who can be in the same store must arrange the loan. A bank is an intermediary between a store and a buyer of goods; accordingly, he will have to pay a percentage of the transaction. In a rare case, the store assumes the obligation to pay interest. But in this case, be careful, because there may not be an overpayment, but the product will cost several thousand more than its counterpart in another store.

Note! Unlike a bank loan, an installment plan is issued for a short period and a small amount, so you need to be prepared to repay the installment plan.

As a rule, installments are granted for 1-10 months in the amount of not more than 150 thousand rubles, but there are exceptions. In some stores, installment payment for goods is a promotion that takes place on certain days. As for the down payment, its size is determined by the store, and for installments it can be 0 - 50% of the initial price for a washing machine. The installment process is faster because you do not need to confirm a good credit history and provide a package of documents.
