I was looking to get a ribble in the next week and I've been on their website plenty of times recently but on checking today it appears that their buy now pay later finance deal has disappeared.

Does anyone have any news on this?

    cannot give you a specific answer to your question but hopefully you will take some comfort from knowing that it was not interest free and having looked at it myself you paid quite a substantive amount over the price of the bike for the privilege.
    That maybe why perhaps Ribble no longer do it.

    Yea they don't do it anymore. Can't remember the reason the guy gave me in the shop but I know they have stopped it.

    0% on purchases credit card thing would give you the same deal
  • Seems like a lot of places that did, through v12 finance, do not anymore. See Wiggle also.

    Facebook? No. Just say no.
  • I asked about this around New Year time and the reason they gave was that the finance company wanted to change the terms - and this made it unviable. They were hoping it would be sorted soon - although that now looks unlikely.
  • yes all the big online retailers do not have the interest free options anymore, instead they have 19%+ over 3 yrs in the case of Wiggle!!!!!!!!!! Guess they werent making any money from buy now pay later. CRC,Merlin et al have all binned finance. I remember the 3/6 month cheque spread at Merlin, it was a fantastic idea!

    I am looking for some wheels and there are 0% deals for 6 to 18months over £200 but at full rrp. Still tempted though!

    When the Tories policies start to bite I reckon we may see the 0% deals resurface.
