I have been with brighthouse for 3 years and never missed a payment, i recently had 2 surgeries meaning i cant work for awhile and will be on universal credit until healthy again. I told brighthouse my payment would be 3 weeks later due to this and the balance would be cleared on the day of the universal credit payment. 2 weeks in to the 3 weeks i told them i would be late by and i had 3 visits on 3 different days from their "boys" asking when I am going to pay threatening they can take back my items, which btw they couldn't with out a court order due to the amount already paid. Horrible company the interest rates along with the delivery and installation fees and insurance they charge are insane. If you need an item and your down on your luck go to fair for you instead much better experience avoid brighthouse with all costs! Read more Read less

I had an awful credit score and only Brighthouse was available to me. I bought a couple of items from them,which I knew I could afford. I paid for the items over 2 years and never missed a payment. This helped my credit score alot. The idea is,if you can't pay for it...don't buy it. The Brighthouse house staff were always polite and helpful. Read more Read less

I signed up to both these and dial a tv during a time I was desperate for basic appliances and due to disability had very little savings. These companies are making £1000 profit on a single item. The credit agreements on these higher purchase items are disgusting Read more Read less

Charges too high and if you fall behind they are not helpful at all. Made friends and family fall into debt and financial problems. Since been with another company and know now that brighthouse do not have to act the way they do. Praying on vulnerable people!! Read more Read less
