WHAT IS A RETAIL INSTALLMENT CONTRACT?

A retail installment contract allows you to borrow a specific amount and pay it back over a specified length of time with a set number of payments. For example, you might borrow $1,200 and agree to pay it back in 12 monthly payments of $100 plus interest.

Examples of traditional installment loans similar to retail installment contracts are home mortgages, car loans and even personal loans.

With retail installment contracts, you can spread the cost of an item over a longer period of time instead of paying a large amount all at once. The term of the contract can vary from a duration of months to years.

For example, you may get a contract for $1,000 to get a bigger, better TV. You’d pay a set amount of about $42 (plus finance charges) per month for 24 months on a 2-year contract, instead of $1,000 upfront.

Unlike with a store credit card, you cannot keep adding to your debt if you are under your credit limit, and required payments do not typically change from month to month. This is one reason why retailers like Conn’s HomePlus® are typically more willing to give retail installment contracts to people with bad credit.
