[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

I hate all these kinds of places, Minga, Dull House etc. They do prey on people that are struggling & then they struggle just that bit more.

There's one up town & I'd love to chuck a brick through its window & every new pain after that

I wouldn't give them tihs on a stick

Yeah.......Like when you're desperate for a few quid. Some loan company (shark) will lend you a few bob at an interest rate of 5,000%. Parasites.

[Mr Skrunts]

my bro in law got a new tv from bright house what a rip off 

tis a nice tv though


http://www.brighthouse.co.uk/products/televisions/47-inch-lg-smart-tv/

should be no more than say £800 at the most

they just pray on the vunrable all the time

although I suppose he did have a choice to say no

Cheapest I could find it for was                  £898.00
  so split by same ammount of weeks           156           weeks
  would be                                                   £5.76       a week if you could get interest free

Those robbing gits have allready made £396.97 before the finance (plus proffits from buying direct from the manufacturer)

I bought a TV from Richers a year or so back and upgraded the warranty to 5 years for about £35.

Cost us £50 for our 5 year warranty, but we can claim that back if we don't make any warranty claims in the remaining 2 months it has left to run.

Dull house as i call them cause they are dull they are for poeple who can't get cerdit from any where and thats why they opened there shops and there rates are 49.9% which is a rip off i would never go to dull house and would rather save the money for what i want even if it took me a yr or so

If you miss a payment at dullhouse they send the heavies to your door and lift it , must cost them a fair bit each week employing them

Sadly, most folks believe the boll*cks that the heavy's come out with and let them in instead of telling them to pish off

I don't have a massive problem with companies like this. 

There's a demand, Brighthouse or whoever make nice money out of it, the slender-witted get to watch their mahooosive tellies now rather than later. Keeps them off the roads a bit. 

I wouldn't personally want to be in that line of business, but it's up to the public to 'not want' their services, not for me to say they shouldn't be available.

Tbh, these companys are just filling a gap in the market.
Its called "supply and demand".
All they are doing is supplying the goods that some folks would have bought on a credit card before the markets went tits up and the banks started calling in the dept's.

The real scumbags in this sort of field is companys like Cash Convertors 
This has got to be one of the biggest outlets for stolen goods going 
Nowdays, the little scrotes tend to nick what they can, stash it for a few months till the heat has died down then its down to Cash Convertors where the very minimum of checks are carried out and they can make some nice risk free money

I think its quite straightforward. These companies wouldn't exist if no one used them. And judging by their success and advertising profile, it would seem they have a significant following. Else they would be out of buisness.

In the OP's in law's case; it seems straightforward. Its his choice to make an informed decision. I suspect brighthouse did not force him to buy anything. He must have walked into their showroom with an intent to browse/buy. And he still had a choice to say no to being fleeced. Yet he chose not to. Adults can make their own decision, just like some choose to smoke knowing fully well that they are paying into an investment fund for cancer.

I was bought up with the ideal that borrowing money was shameful and it wasnt something that should be done unless there was absolutely no other alternative. I still stick to it. For me no TV or a much smaller TV or one off gumtree/freecycle would suffice. But not everyone thinks alike, and thats what these companies make a living off.
