Hi
I just want to know if anyone else has bought furniture or goods of perfect homes. Me and my husband bought two three seater setees from them last year. I was so pleased to be able to get some new furniture i'm a fraid i didn't take much notice of the high interest. I'm now stuck with another three years of payments that i can hardly afford as now my circumstances have changed and i have lost some income. Just recently i could'nt afford to pay one week and they charged me £3. 00 on top of my payment. I have heard as well if you have difficulty paying there is no help with reduced payments and they even come and remove your goods in some cases. I feel like i've got stuck with loan sharks but they are doing it within the law. Their interest is clossal i could have got a loan instead and payed less interest. I feel like they are taking advantage of people who are on low income and can't afford to pay cash for good or have a low credit scoring. I just want people to be aware that they charged more than treble the price the goods are worth surely they shouldn't be allowed to get away with this. What do other people think about this?

I didn't as for a personal attack yes I know I've been stupid. All I'm asking if anyone else has had dealings with these people and what their experiences have been.

Lynsey do you have the cover plus warranty? If you do that allows you to return the sofa without financial penalty. Usually with a hire purchase in order to return the item you need to pay for 50% of the contract but I believe the cover plus warranty allows for return without paying the 50% off, if that makes sense.

Hi Everyone.

I googled reviews for PH as I need new sofa's and these seemed the cheapest out of the different pay weekly shops, and after reading all of them just in this post I have now changed my mind about going in there for sofa's. I will save up instead and buy outright from a shop.
Thanks for the posts they have really helped me.

I am a customer of perfect home and it's the worst mistake I have made in my life, the only reason I used them is because at the time I had bad credit (which is now good :-) ) I have never ever missed a payment as it comes straight out of my bank account without fail every month, every single month I have several phone calls from them asking for payment and I have to explain the same thing every month, it comes straight out my bank, I have had to take bank statements to the store to prove that I have paid, when I went to the store to prove that I had paid I was spoken to like I was ### of the earth and have never had an apology from them for their incompetence, they are a bunch of ###s who haven't got a clue what they are doing. They are the most vile, rudest people I have ever dealt with and thankfully I have only got 5 payments left. If they have treated me like this and I have never missed a payment I dread to think how they would treat me if I was to miss one.

Worst mistake I ever did getting furniture off perfect home. I wanted to send my settee back because I waited a month for it to get repaired. But everytime I rang them up it was always ring us back on saturday. When I told them to come and collect the settee they wanted me to pay an extra week so they could pick it up when they're ready. And the way they speak to you on the phone, so aggressive until they get that payment.
Don't get anything from here unless you know what you're getting yourself into!

trying to get the rip off insurance ATLAS (based in Malta ?) off my monthly premiums and iM now starting to get to same experiences as others even though my insurance is 1000% more protective than ATLAS and is UK based.
They are refusing to remove their insurance based on their premis that the insurance has to be like for like (my excess is £150 to their £100) even though I pointed out that the size of the excess reflects directly on the size of the premium and not the insurance itself !

Hi Everyone,

I never did go to PH for my couches, I have been saving up and putting up with my ones that kill your back if you sit for too long, I find things to do so i don't sit down now haha. I read all these complaints and thought I'm not having them ringing my ref's to see why I haven't paid (not that I had any intention of missing a payment) but the thought of them hounding ref's was horrifying. I would rather suffer for a bit longer than to be hounded like other have been, I would be getting done for assault if they spoke to me like the way they have others, I wont take that off family so i certainly wont take it off a salesperson in a shop.
I hope these complaints put others off from going to places like these, I am desperate for new couches but not that desperate. I've heard that before about their insurance, even if you have top notch insurance they still want you to take out theirs...hmmm they got a fiddle going on there or something?

I have bought a fridge freezer and a washing machine. Fridge is getting very noisy. Call them a to report the fault. They sent a technician and I was told that nothing wrong with fridge. Still does noises so rang again and spoke with manager. Again same man came to my house and he only opened the fridge and said to my daughter " there is some ice stuck on fan so your father will need to switch off the fridge for 1 day and put it on again next day. Well the fridge freezer was new and I have it for 2 months. I have done a video with the stupid noise and I will make a complain. Will I be able to stop my payment until the fridge gets fixed?

I'm a customer with perfect home, since being a customer with them i have had nothing but hssle from them .
im with the cardiff store where the staff simply have no manners i missed a week payment recently due to a family funeral and after they called me to ask why payment was not made i explained a famiy funeral . the reply i had from the manager was everyone uses the same excuse . this firm is the worst ever i have made several complaints to customer service but they simply dont want to know .they are just after the weekly payments . i wouldnt recommend not so perfect home to anyone . when i ordered a double bed i waited 10 weeks before it was delivered the behaviour of this firm is just disgusting .

The person who has posted about the fridge freezer we had the same issue it is manufacturing fault, had no issues getting them to come out as i always deal with the head office. they replaced it with a new one that did the same and i ended up with a better fridge feezerfor the same price as the other for the issues i had had. Never had an issue with ph pay £172 a week, dont have there insurance, never missed a payment no issues.

There's a few thing's you can do you can send it back or you can reduce your payments by getting your own home insurance and also ask the to take their repair cover off as this is just as much as the product you've got so if you pay i.e £1000 with interest I'll be £1000 spk to them about this and they will try to put you of saying you can take it off because it's our peace of mind or if you do it's a new agreement and your interest will go up that's rubbish hope this helps

I am currently a customer of perfect home and the sooner I pay them off the better! I took home insurance out in September 2014 but as I work full time I was unable to take the documents to them as proof until 3 wks ago. I asked of this would be backdated to the date I took out the policy and their answer was no!
I have since read on their website that from the 21st July 2014 optional service cover is now included in the price so if this is the case why since the 21st July have I been paying extra for this service? And why did they not offer to remove the service when I took my insurance policy in as surely what they offer in the cover plus is included in my home insurance! Fuming is not the word! I will be ringing them tomorrow but will probably get a load of bull crap followed by yes we can remove it but can't back date it! Argh! From a very angry perfect home customer!

You are well within your rights to do a voluntary termination of contract. Sometimes we can afford things but our personal situation can change making things harder. To any negative people...if you can afford all that money go and buy the stuff out right!
