What are catalogue debts?

Catalogue debts are debts that usually come about after a company offers a ‘have now, pay later’ scheme. These may seem like an easy way of getting what you want, but what happens is that you’re expected to spread out the repayments using a payment plan to the company on either weekly or monthly terms.

If you make these payments on time, it’s a very convenient way to shop. It is very easy to accidentally miss these payments however, and if this happens, problems arise. This is when Littlewoods Debt Collection would step in.
