How quickly will my application be processed?

Your application will be processed as soon as you complete your application online. You will receive an instant decision, Approved, Referred or Declined. You will be sent an email to confirm the status of your application as soon as it has been processed.

Once my application is approved, what happens next?

Once you have filled in the online application, in most cases you will be able to electronically sign the paperwork and therefore nothing further will be required from you.  In some cases, you may be required to post some information to Hitachi Capital. It is your responsibility to send this information as a matter of urgency, as we will not begin manufacturing your order until we have received confirmation from Hitachi that they have received the relevant, required paperwork.

 

If you refuse my application, what is the reason?

You will not be given a reason for your application being refused, but if refused it will usually be for one of the following reasons, or combination of these factors:

Your credit score/rating
You are considered to be overcommitted
You are aged under 18
Your existing account performance with other lenders

Please bear in mind that it is not Purely Diamonds who have declined your application, it is Hitachi Capital who are providing you the finance, and we cannot give you any information regarding why your application was refused.

The Credit Reference Agency gives you a credit score based on their assessment of your credit history, for example your payment history on any current or settled financial commitments. This score is then used as part of the assessment of your application which on this occasion did not meet our minimum requirements.

The address and contact details of the Credit Reference Agency that we used is detailed below.

If after receiving your credit history information you wish to appeal against our decision or would like further information regarding our decision, please write to me at the above address or email to referrals@hitachicapital.co.uk. Replies to letters or emails will be sent by post.

Please note that we are unable to discuss your application by telephone.

You must be 18 years or older, work a minimum of 16 hours a week, or be retired with an income.

Homemakers are not excluded from making an application in their name; however the employment details of your spouse will be required in order to process your application.

If my finance is refused, do I get my deposit back?

Yes, we have to temporarily 'hold' your deposit in order to process the application, but if your application is declined by Hitachi the hold on your deposit is released and no deposit is actually processed or taken. The hold on the deposit does mean your available balance will be reduced by the deposit amount for up to 3-5 working days, this is due to your banks own refund procedures.
