I bought a leather furniture set and tried to use their interest free credit promotion. Both my husband and I were denied!!!

MY credit score is 757 my husbands over 800 there is no way we should have been denied financing for $1900 . We ended up paying cash because I really wanted the furniture . I believe it to be a scam so the sales person can get their commission up front . I haven't had it delivered yet wish I could cancel .

I'm thinking about filing law suite.

Its been almost 10 days since I bought this and I haven't gotten a letter explaining why I was denied financing. Stay away from this company it's a pure scam...

Reason of review: Problems with payment.

Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.

Furniture Row Cons: Lack of financing, Poor customer service.

Location: Cedar Falls, Iowa

I just had the same experience. Was denied for their 4 year no interest.

Got really good credit. Should not have been denied.

I was approved on the spot for $9000. Furniture Row does not run the card, Capitol One does. Even though you have a good credit score, if you have too many things currently financed, they will deny you.

Guest

I had a similar experience, but stayed on the phone long enough with Capital One that they finally approved my credit. During the call they continued to check back frequently and supposedly it went from the first person to their supervisor and then the supervisor had to do a 'written report' and send it to her manager for approval.

In retrospect, I think they did all of that hoping I would hang up and pay cash because they could tell by looking at my credit history that I would pay off the balance and get the advantage of the free interest and they (Capital One) would not make any money from me.

Guest

Their financing is through Capital One genious, furniture row just signs you up for financing, its not their fault if your denied. Take it up with Capital One, alao keep in mind that nobody forced you to buy the sofa. You made that choice

Guest

You can have a high credit score like that by paying your bills in a timely manner but that doesn't mean you don't have a crazy high debt to income ratio. The salesperson does not decide whether you get approved or not that is up to one of the biggest financing companies in the U.S, Capitol One. Your complaint is not with the sales person or the company just maybe with Capitol one

Financing is through capital one. Furniture row has no say wither you are approved or not. I don't believe your issue is with them rather than capital one

Guest

weird, my credit score is right around 700 and I was accepted for like 5000 bucks...

What do they have to gain by denying you credit?

They get their comission up front and because then you would be forced to pay the entire balance by credit card or cash.

As an employee I can tell you we get commission "up front" no matter the form of payment.
