spyguy Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 I would have used Sh1tehouse down the sh1tter but mods dont like swears in thread titles. Brighthouse seem to be collapsing. I googled but all i get are warnings aboutbrighthouse and not use them. Good riddance to sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bossybabe Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Great. The Isle of Wight store probably contributed. It opened 9 months ago. Serve the b@stards right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isambard Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Passed this shop the other day. Should not even be allowed to trade. Prey on the vulnerable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
200p Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/02/04/brighthouse/ 4 February 2017 BrightHouse’s finances are under strain from temporary lending rules agreed with the FCA that force it to carry out more stringent checks on customers’ credit history before lending to them.

dgul Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 It is a shop which I don't understand why it exists. The local shop has prices/'deals' that even the dimmest imbecile would see as being exorbitant, and it never, ever, seems to have any customers in. At all. Ever. Not even browsing. I can only imagine that there is some poor schmuck in Hartlepool* who took out sofa on tick within 2 minutes of the first store opening, and their computer's linear sales model forecast a gazillion in profit if only they could rapidly expand everywhere. Or it is some kind of Brewsters-Millions-like system designed to lose vast sums of money extremely quickly, whilst simultaneously screwing over as many people as possible?

onlyme2 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BrightHouse_(retailer) Tax avoidance[edit] In January 2015 Private Eye reported that BrightHouse had paid very little UK corporation tax between 2007 and 2014 - less than £6m - after revenues of £1.6bn and operating profits of £191m. According to Private Eye, interest of £76m owed to a Luxembourg-registered subsidiary of BrightHouse's owners Vision Capital had significantly reduced taxable profits. In addition, records showed BrightHouse's '5 star' insurance to be operated through a sister company based in Malta, where tax on profits would in effect be no more than 5 per cent under Maltese law. BrightHouse told Private Eye it complies with all relevant tax regulations and that all its arrangements were arranged with HMRC.[24] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
