Wish i was in a Ramen Shop Counter
I woke up this morning to this email received last night, I didn’t click on anything but went to Google the site, found the url and went to the Splitit site directly.

On there I can log in via “Magic Link” where it send you a link to the inbox and log in that way without any password.

On the profile page it doesn’t show any “Plans” or credit, so the site doesn’t say I ever signed on. Meaning nobody used my email to use this site. So I don’t understand what this email is about. Did someone take out credit in my name?

Look at the 1 star reviews of Splitit on Trustpilot and you'll see a few people who didn't realise they were using it because it seemed to be getting set up on their behalf when taking out a 'pay over instalments' type option with an online retailer.

I don’t do that usually, only ever done it once and that was on PayPal when I bought on LCE, pay in 3 back in last September so it’s paid off in November.

I don't think it's only instalment plans they're involved in - it may also facilitate 'buy now pay on delivery' type arrangements or other 'buy now pay later' - essentially anything that is effectively credit but without showing the customer any kind of arrangement or application.

The only thing recently is getting a deskmat on Aliexpress that I selected pay on delivery. I used my Amex on that so it’s not out of my bank account. I guess it could be that…
