Application process
No – there are no hidden costs, interest charges or arrangement fees.
Yes. You have up to 30 days to sign your contract so the delivery dates you may have seen during your purchase may now be in the past. When you do e-sign your contract, you will then receive a confirmation email that will show accurate delivery date(s).
If you choose to apply for credit, credit and identity checks will be carried out on you, using one or more credit reference agencies. If you check your eligibility (but before you would be offered credit) Creation will carry out a soft credit check or ‘soft search’. This will allow Creation to see details from your credit report to allow them to make a decision based on your financial situation. This will not affect your credit score. If you are eligible and you continue your application, a hard credit check will be carried out. This will be seen by other lenders and may affect your credit score.
Yes you can – there’s a 14-day cooling off period during which time you have the right to cancel the credit agreement. Please refer to Creation directly to discuss your rights to cancel your agreement. If you use your right of withdrawal from the agreement this will not cancel your purchase and therefore you will still be required to pay for goods already dispatched.
Selected products that cost £300 or more each (excluding any delivery charges) can be purchased if you are eligible for interest free credit from Creation. In addition, if you spend £300 or more on selected products that cost £100 or more each, these can also be purchased if you are eligible for interest free credit.
If your basket contains items that cost less than £100 each, the option to check your eligibility and apply for credit from Creation will not be available. In this situation, to be able to apply for interest free credit, please remove any items that cost less than £100 from your basket, ensure your basket total is £300 or more and continue to check out.
The amount you can borrow is subject to eligibility checks by Creation Finance.
Managing my credit agreement
Yes – you have the option to repay the credit early in full or in part at any point during the contract.
After a successful application, you’ll be sent details so you can register online with Creation to access their Online Account Management service, so you can:
- Make payments
- See your balance
- View a statement
- Make additional payments
- Pay off your balance early
- Update your contact details
- Change your direct debit date
You can also pay by phone and by bank transfer.
If you fail to make one of your repayments you will incur an additional £30 fee. This will also apply if you pay late or your direct debit fails. The maximum late fees you will incur are £60 in any 12 month rolling period. No interest will be applied to fees. Fees are applied to customer accounts within the first 30 days of the account falling into arrears.
Full details on fees and charges are set out in your credit agreement.
The interest free credit will be repaid over 12 months.
Creation will collect your first payment around one month after you place your order, using the Direct Debit details you provided when applying. Equal monthly payments will then be taken for the length of the agreement. If your delivery takes longer than one month to arrive, your first repayment will be at the end of the month in which you receive your goods.
And it’s important to note that you will not be charged additional fees or any type of interest if all payments remain up to date.
Returning an item / Refunds
Yes - If your item is faulty or damaged you can use our Replacement Process.
Please note that should you return or exchange items, for any reason, or should Dunelm cancel items due to stock availability the remaining value of your order must be higher than 10% of the original credit agreement.
If the item you request a refund for makes up less than 90% of the order total or outstanding balance, a refund can be issued for just that item. If the item you request a refund for accounts for 90% or more of the order total or outstanding balance of the credit agreement, Dunelm will ask you to either:
1. Pay by another means for the remaining item(s) you wish to keep that make up 10% or less of the total order value.
Or
2. Return eligible items purchased using that credit agreement in order to receive a refund. This is due to our credit provider Creation not being able to honour the original credit agreement in this scenario.
When you return part of an order, your refund will appear as a cost reduction to your Creation agreement. You’ll be able to see this by accessing your Creation account online. Depending on the amount that’s been refunded and your monthly payments, you will find that the number of months remaining on your agreement is reduced, rather than your monthly payment amount. The refund will also be reflected in your remaining balance.
You will receive a full refund for the items that haven’t been supplied. The refund will appear as a cost reduction to your credit agreement. Your monthly repayments will stay the same, but the length of your credit agreement will be reduced to reflect your refund.
To check your balance and view your monthly payments, you can access your Creation account online.
To return a complete order, you can use our usual returns process.
When we’ve received your returns, your credit agreement will be cancelled and any payments you’ve made will be refunded.
If you'd like to exchange what you’ve ordered, you’ll need to follow the returns process, then place a new order and start a new credit agreement. You can’t exchange one product type for another as part of the same order or under the same credit agreement.
This won’t affect your credit history, as long as you arrange your new order and credit agreement within 30 days of your original order.
