Suicide note: Banker Lament by Mat Lloyd
High Street firm BrightHouse, which offers the poorest and most desparate families the chance to own flashy household goods in rent-to-buy schemes has been described as "Vultures" by The News of the World.
Forty per cent of customers are single mothers and the vast majority are on low incomes, many on benefits, and unable to get credit anywhere else. Brighthouse targets particular postcode areas and opens up stores in the poorest most deprived parts of the UK. Their customers pay a small weekly sum for branded goods such as TVs and washing machines — but often end up shelling out DOUBLE the normal price.
The News of the World investigation found that the firm charges a whopping interest rate of 29.9 per cent APR. But it really makes its money from expensive add-ons in the form of the service cover and Damage Liability Cover, which is compulsory for customers with no home contents insurance.
Has anyone noticed the strange similarity between the initials of Blair Oliver & Scott, debt collectors and those of the Halifax Bank of Scotland - a reputable UK high Street bank.
Another funny coincidence is that HBOS always use the services of BOS for their debt collection activities.
Despite a variety of searches, no website or other information for Blair Oliver & Scott was discoverable - save that their registered postal address is:-
BLAIR, OLIVER AND SCOTT LIMITED
ARROL HOUSE, VIKING WAY
ROSYTH EUROPARC
ROSYTH
KY11 2UT
