Contract

Contratto individuale di acquisto del credito

Un contratto di credito in cui un fornitore di servizi finanziari paga il venditore per uno specifico acquisto di un telefono e il cliente ripaga il fornitore a rate.

Questo è giuridicamente separato dal contratto di telefonia mobile anche quando entrambi i costi compaiono sulla stessa fattura. L'annullamento o il trasferimento della linea telefonica normalmente non cancella il saldo residuo del dispositivo.

Prima di accettare, leggi il prezzo totale in contanti, il numero e l'importo dei pagamenti, le commissioni, le date di pagamento, la gestione dei ritardi di pagamento, le condizioni di proprietà o del programma di restituzione e le clausole sull'uso e la registrazione delle informazioni di credito.
