We use the name and address of your business to conduct a credit and fraud risk assessment, using a range of sources including Companies House. This does not impact your credit score or the credit rating of your business.
You do not have to pay anything upfront for your order. We will send you an email 3 days before payment is due as a reminder. On the day your payment is due, we will attempt to collect it using the method you have chosen e.g., credit card or Direct Debit.
Should the payment fail, we will send you a reminder with an invoice via email, followed by further contact attempts via phone, email and text until the invoice is paid or we are able to discuss the payment with you.
If the purchase remains unpaid and we have not been able to get in contact with you, we will refer your account to a debt collections agency who will add additional interest and fees to your balance. In order to avoid this, it is important you email us on collections@hokodo.co to discuss a repayment plan or other options to pay the balance. Failure to do so will have a negative impact on your credit file and ability to access lending in the future.
No, you can use Hokodo via your account with the merchant or marketplace you’re purchasing from. You don’t need to take any action before selecting your payment terms at checkout.
