Question: Will this line of credit help my credit
rating?
Answer: Although not intended to be a
tool for rebuilding credit, your credit line will be reported to

This can be used to demonstrate creditworthiness when applying
for housing, credit, insurance, and employment.

some items?
Answer: We offer our lines of credit, initially no
less than $7,500 per customer without running a credit check. Our
experience has shown that a down payment helps defer part of our
investment in the product, which permits us to finance the balance
for you at a 0% interest rate for the first year.
Question: How can I speed up the processing of my
order?
Answer: The best way to make sure your order is
processed quickly, is to insure there are no errors by checking it
for accuracy and legibility. You may send us a money order to avoid
the check hold time. You can also charge your down payment on a
Visa or MasterCard.

Answer: Visit us online at www.firstplusplatinum.com . Follow the prompts at our website. It's that easy! Your order
will be processed depending on the method of payment.
Question: What is the "Best" way to pay for my
order?
Answer: Online Checks are the most convenient form
of payment, and when you process an Online Check we process your
order immediately. We have a credit card option to use a major
credit card such as a Visa or MasterCard. Otherwise, you have the
option of using a Money Order. Money Orders are processed within 72
hours of receipt. Items in-stock usually process in 2 weeks and
will ship in 1 to 2 weeks. Holidays can be an exception to this
however. Personal Checks require 14 days to clear our bank system
before we can process your order. Even if your bank has cleared
your check, we do not receive notice until several days or more
after deposit. The Christmas holidays require additional time.
Please allow 2 to 3 weeks for delivery.
Question: How often will I receive a
statement?
Answer: Statements are mailed once a month.
Statements go out only if there is a balance due, or if you have a
zero balance you will receive one zero balance statement. "Payment
Due Date" is the date your payment must be received in our office.
It can take 3-5 business days for us to receive and process your
payment. By mailing your payments at least 10 days before they are
due assures you of a good prompt payment record.
Question: What if I can't pay the minimum payment
due?
Answer: In order to keep your account in good
standing, the minimum amount due must be received on or before the
due date. If you cannot pay the minimum, call the customer service
number and speak with an agent who will work out a convenient
payment alternative. We do ask that you pay any amount you can and
include as much of that amount due as possible.
