That's stupid, for sure.
But any loan at that sort of rate is fucking evil and should be illegal. Some people need protecting from themselves.

I'm of the opinion places like Brighthouse should be banned

I'm not familiar with what Brighthouse does.
Although I've seen one has opened up in Basildon.

It is the equivalent of a catalogue I think
You pay £x weekly

They allow you to pay monthly for TVs, laptops, stuff like that
But the rates are fucking criminal, and they're mostly selling to those who don't know to look for things like that.

Yeah, just googled them.
It's criminal.

Well, it's not, which is the point really, but you know what I mean.

I'd suggest they are more selling to those that can't afford to get things any other way.
but, of course, they are splendidly symptomatic of the "must have thing now" state of society. yep.

I sort of half agree with you
but it's the only way a company lending small amounts for such short periods can exist. It's only immoral in the sense that people with that little money probably shouldn't be borrowing more, but, what you gonna do? It's better terms than defaulting to "Big Trev" after all, surely?
