Harlow Store and staff will be sadly missed.

Long term customer, and found staff at Harlow store very friendly and helpful.

Sad to see your going out of business, and want to express best wishes to all at Harlow store, they became more than just staff in a shop, they became friends, who, took the time to check on me when I became ill, and always asked my partner how I was, whenever he came in to pay my account.

You will be missed.

Brighthouse Care

Very disappointed with brighthouse insurance. I am customer around 2 years, i know this was mistake to take new tv there. On 25th april my tv was damaged, and I remember what probably i have insurance. I just submitted claim same day, and had a call from customer service team on monday. And they are lost my claim, and on 30 april i had conversation again. After that submitted claim again, had call on monday 4th may. Everything was fine, claim submitted. But now i had conversation with brightcare team, and he said what due to coronavirus restrictions he can’t tell me when someone can collect it, because 55inch tv is to big. And i am still paying for this tv and insurance weekly. I will change this review and rating when someone can let me know when it will be replaced.

Absolutely disgusted with the way…

Absolutely disgusted with the way brighthouse have treated me in such a ignorant way. I have been their customer for nearly over a year and have purchased one product with them (cordless hoover). I made sure it was paid completely as I chose to pay the last three payments before my deadline which includes adding on insurance every week so if there was a problem with my Hoover I can get it repaired or replaced. This issue has been going on for over a month now as I put in the enquiry in March, I called up the repairs team and a engineer was sent out. I had put myself at risk letting an engineer come into my house when I’ve been isolating keeping safe. He stated straight away I should not carry on using this product as it sounds like it’s going to blow up and eventually could. Baring in mind I have a toddler, the engineer put in for a new motor replacement and the order was put in place as the motor has died out completely. I was told to wait up to two weeks for delivery (beginning of March). Then 2 and a half weeks later I receive a call off a bright house engineer stating he can not come to my property and put in my new motor as this was beginning of covid-19, I then said I was told it was a delivery and I don’t need help putting the hoover together, they said there’s nothing they can do and said they will be in touch (which they haven’t been). Another two weeks later I called, baring in mind I have been having to sweep for weeks as I have carpet throughout my whole house, they said they are looking into my situation and will get back in touch. They have said my claim is still open and will get in touch when the government guidelines tell them otherwise and haven’t heard nothing, I have enquired on multiple occasions and something needs to happen in to resolving this case.

been working there

been working there for a while, and the truth is the prices people have to pay are sky high, 2nd hand items you can easily find for like a £10 while bh was listing them for hundreds of pounds also most of the time broken, we were always fed bull like " teamwork" and " one team" but once their problems became unavoidable they left everyone stranded with no money or help, they own people thousnads of pounds. people out there have been working for a month with no pay left wondering how they gonna feed their familly. they knew what is happening but refused to let any emloyees know that they can prepare themselfs. most of us found out from sky news and the same they we got notified that we are getting terminated.

I was a customer to brighthouse for a long time now and in the past however before the administration my local store assured me that the sofa I was still paying for would be repaired I heard nothing from their chester store then my TV went still nothing . When I heard of the administration I called to speak to them about these said repairs a lady answered asked for my personal details and when I passed them I asked to know if I was talking to brighthouse she said no and wouldnt divulge who she worked for . To be fair I'm glad you have gone into administration . But I cannot and will not be paying anymore on my agreements a 200.00 sofa was 3000.00 ridiculous.

I will be seeking compensation also on a mis sold insurance scam which clearly has no standing .

Matty, thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. I have found your account and there is no indication that you have spoken with us to report any issue with any of your items. It may be prudent to contact us. You can do so by calling your store number and selecting the relevant option to your needs.

I am somewhat confused by your comment about someone not divulging who they work for, all our calls are introduced with our corporate welcome and telephone menu and our operators answer with "BrightHouse". Please be sure to only call a known number for us.

I appreciate you have said you will not pay and I can see you have frequently withheld payments. Please note that doing so may result in a report to a credit reference agency and may affect your ability to obtain credit elsewhere in the future.

Don't trust them. Rip off

Do your research before you buy. I paid over the odds, on a high apr rate. Even after I paid them back in full, I still owe an additional 20%

Update there claiming my review is not relating to them. Now I see how they get users to take down the negative ones.

Annamarie, thank you for taking the time to search us and leave your comments. I have found the record of your cooker purchase and it was indeed paid off last year.

The agreement was actually taken out in November 2017 and came with a 12 month manufacture's warranty, which has long since expired. You also did not include any BrightCare with your agreement, so had the item broken down after the 12 months and before the item was paid in full, you also would not have been covered.

Our installation engineers are professional trades people would have only installed the cooker in line with industry standards, I am sorry that here you are, over two years later, concerned about the work carried out and taking the word of another trades person that we did not do a proper job. As we have been unable to inspect the work, we cannot make any comment. I am however sorry that you are unhappy with the work.

I hope you manage to get your cooker fixed.

Shocking aftercare

Shocking aftercare. Paid insurance plus bright care. 1st issue we have and are fobbed off. Cancelled my easy pay until they sort the issue. Told we were getting a replacement sent, waited 2 weeks, called again to be told it's been put on hold. Fair enough then, my payments are on hold now too. Never missed any payments in over a year. Disgusting customer service. Jokers. Honor your insurance or get nothing else from me.

Sam, thank you for taking the time to find us and leave these comments. Whilst we aim to reply to all Trustpilot reviews, regardless of comments, offering you with a response is proving somewhat difficult as the recent events affects around 2400 members of staff and lots of customers who use BrightHouse for essential purchases with no problems. I can only presume from this comment you have had a bad experience in the past. We actively encourage people with concerns to contact us and we can look to put things right, did you ever contact us at the time with your concerns?

Brighthouse are praying on the working class. They charge over 69% APR and employ thugs in there stores to collect there weekly payments. This company stands for everything that is wrong in our capitalist society. In short they are no different to shilock of other evil loan shark.

Steve, thank you for taking the time to search us out to leave your comments. I can last see we transacted business with you around 4 years ago, when it appears our relationship came to an abrupt end.

I am sorry to learn that you believe we pray on the "working class". Please be assured that BrightHouse is an organisation that prides itself on being open to everyone, regardless of class. We were there to be able to offer credit to those who may not be able to take credit in a more conventional manner, for whatever reason.

Our interest rates may have been a little higher than some credit facilities available, but were set in accordance with the guidelines allowable by our regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). So much was out commitment to fairness, these rates were reviewed last year and many of them reduced.

With regards to your comments about employing "thugs", I am unsure what you are meaning as all our staff are trained professionals and act with integrity to adhere to the BrightHouse core values. If you have had an issue with any member of our team, it may have been prudent to let us know at the time so we could have dealt with it accordingly.

Amanda, thank you for leaving your comments. Whenever you account falls into arrears, it defaults to the weekly payment cycle. I can see this has happened quite a lot recently. If you were wanting to pay monthly, you need to ensure your account is paid one month in advance then keep on top of your payments.
