Translate a Buy Now Pay Later Offer Before You Use It

Pay nothing for six months. What it does not say on the button is what happens at month seven if the balance is not clear. Buy now pay later schemes range from genuinely useful to expensive, depending on the terms and whether you hit the deadline. This translates the offer into plain language: what you are agreeing to, what the charges are if you miss the window, how it affects your credit file, and whether there is a better option for spreading this cost.

I am looking at a buy now pay later offer for a purchase and I want to understand what I am actually agreeing to before I use it.
