In 2021 broke

In 2021 broke, scared, and willing to be homeless, I chose to go into the Nottingham branch, I was served by the Manager, Chen, she asked what amount I was looking for, I ended up telling her my story of domestic violence, financial, sexual and emotional abuse by my then husband Sean, and told her I needed just enough to move out as he controlled all the money, and my jewellery was the only thing he never checked, she gave me 750 pounds. This allowed me to walk away with the suitcase I had packed with me, I never went back. CHEN you saved my life that day, I will always remember you and will always be grateful to you, you didn't judge, didnt mock, but gave me dignity, quiet support and 750 pieces of hope. Thank you.

The payment portal is a joke. I have been in endless error loop while trying to make a payment. Just awful

Excellent customer service

I just wanted to thank the person who served me! Casia (it might be spelled Hasia, apologies) at the branch in Deptford, was so knowledgeable, warm, personable and kind. From the very beginning she answered all of my questions and talked me through the process. She made my day and I can’t thank and recommend her customer service enough!

Racism from HT pawnbroker…

I have been a customer of HT pawnbroker for years. On Friday the 6th of March 2026 between 1300 and 1345 I walked into on of your retail shops in Standish Wigan to buy some jewellery.

The lady asked me to remove my hat in order to buy the product. I had a surgery and could not remove it. I just replied that I wanted to buy a product.

She then asked the manager and he refused to sell me unless I removed my hat so security cameras can take a photo of my face. I said no they refused to serve me and I left. You can check the cctv.

You cannot assume that customers are criminals once they step into your shops.

That is racism and horrible customer service to customers who want to buy from you,after paying taxes with honest hard working money.

I shop all around London area but never experienced that racist behaviour ever. Quite the opposite staff were really friendly.

I then went to another shop and purchased a product.

If I was the owner of that business I would have sacked those uneducated and low level people.

People buy from,retail,shops for:
Anonymity
Supporting retail business
You can buy cheaper.online by 10percent.

Shame on that shop.
