That’s when Homestyle comes in handy. With us, you can spread the cost, interest-free, no credit checks, no hidden fees.

But the question you ask is: "do I have enough credit right now to make that order?"

Homestyle’s Text Back My Balance service is the fastest way to check your account, anytime, day or night.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Text the word “BALANCE” to 07860 041 435
