Alan's absolutely right, and whether to offer this is just a business decision. What might be more interesting would be to consider why essential equipment required because of a sensory loss is not made available by Social Services following assessments. Needless-to-say I shouldn't hold your breaths!

I would be able to increase my customers at least twice if I was to offer credit. .

Hi, yes I think all companies should offer something like the easy pay like RNIB offer. I do think that something should be done about this. It would make products more affordable and allow more of us to buy some of these products that we may find useful in our personal lives.
