3 things : 1) NEVER SIGN SOMETHING WITHOUT READING WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING 2) NEVER SIGN SOMETHING WITHOUT READING WHAT YOU'RE SIGNING 3) You'd still have a pretty good case with trading standards. If a shop says there's interest-free credit and the credit you signed up for (without reading the contract) isn't interest free, then that, in my opinion, is fraudulent. Contact trading standards immediately. It's been my experience that the law is generally tilted towards the consumer than the retailer, so in a "your word against theirs" situation, you may still have a good case. Bob
