iansheff Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Rent-to-own retailer BrightHouse has announced 30 store closures as 350 jobs are slashed. There is a £22.1million pre-tax loss in it's last set of accounts, also the FCA are imposing a cap on interest rates that firms like Brighthouse will be able to charge customers in April. https://www.mirror.co.uk/money/brighthouse-store-closures-full-list-13958273 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Not before time. I wouldn't mind if they only sold essentials, but I'd be struggling to work out who needs a £300 iPad from there, and eventually paying nearly £800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Never like the thought of people losing their jobs but the sooner this odious outfit hits the buffers the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willman Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Obviously it'll please the ones who have always moaned about the likes of Brighthouse, but no so good for the staff or the people who need the facilities they offer. The next thing for the charities to source will be wide screen tv's to pick up with your food parcels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Car Boot Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Another capitalist exploiter bites the dust. The Brexit effect is really starting to hurt those who hurt the poorest! Hurrah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carosio Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Perhaps the Co-op could provide a similar model to Brightside but at much cheaper or zero interest rates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to be a complete idiot to buy anything from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
