So glad to read BH posts before I committed to buying from them.

Hi all,

 

First of all I want to say that I think it is awful how you all have been treated and ripped off by this company. I hope you all get resolution soon.

 

Thankfully for me I have read through your posts and have decided to stay a million miles away form these people. I was not 100% sure because of the costs because they seem to double the cash price but now I feel I have had a lucky escape.

 

I am quite impatient and we need a new 3 piece so I was seriously considering it but now we will save for a year and then buy from another store.

 

I hope you all sort these buggers out and get your money back and force them to treat you like human beings instead of account numbers.

 

Good luck x

Also remember that the base cost of an item is 2 - 3x the price that it is anywhere else. THEN they throw charges/interest/insurances on top of it.

Why not look for a Credit Union in your area.. you can save with them for a while and then you might be able to take out a loan with very low interest rates.

I absolutely will never consider these people or the other ones after reading posts on here, I feel like we have had a lucky escape. I was put of by the amount the items were with all the interest added, I hadn't even considered their insurance cover etc.

 

I will look into the credit union because I want to start saving each month again like I used to but I don't trust the banks, so a credit union would be a brilliant choice plus it helps other people who have not got excellent credit scores (like I haven't).

Hello there.

 

I'm pleased that we've helped you. Here's a link to a forum stikky about credit unions. It includes a link to a website that helps you find your nearest one. I think they're a great idea, but then I wrote the stikky so I would say that.

Hi Marcus,

 

Was it very easy to join? I have managed to find a local credit union that looks very interesting. I am only really interested in the savings side at the moment and I want to keep away from regular banks. I really like how the money people save is used to fund low cost loans for people. If we can keep money away from the immoral practices of the banks then I see that as a victory for the normal man in the street

 

Kind regards

Me

I recently went in to do some secret shopping and they REFUSED to give me any terms and conditions for the 5 star service or any other terms for that matter so I could make an informed decision as a customer to join them (I wasnt really but it goes to show what they do to hide away there dirty deeds)
