Buy As You View [BAYV] fraud

ive been with B.A.Y.V for 6 years now and thought thier service was pretty good, first a T.V payed, then had a dryer payed and then the washing machine was still paying for 2 years until today i realised thier error so im not paying any more, they still expect another year of payments i laughed at them the jokers . so i calculated the items and the years and whatch this for a ### they wont sort out, washing machine £350, £7oo pay in 3 years i pay them £88.00 every 2 months since oct 09 till now =968.00 and there is another year of this to pay. im not paying them i will laugh them out of court they owe me! also the 3rd year i had a stereo they came 2 weeks early for payment but i get payed monthly and ive never ever missed a payment because i was £28.00 short and didnt get payed for a week he took my stereo in his car and went. so i phoned B.A.Y.V they told me he done wrong and they sacked him good ridens. here is some good advice if your desperate for something you need off them keep your eyes open on your total because they never send you any statements you can ring them and they will make up a total for you.

P.S the collectors are polite and respectable thats all i can say is good
thanks for reading this complaint.

Buy As You View [BAYV] Customer Service , Brech of Contract

I rented a TV and washing machine from Buy as you View 2years ago, were by I pay one pound for 4 hours viewing which pays for my TV and Washing Machine .
In the two years I have had them out 4 times to the TV and Once to my washer. The TV went into the work shop as they say the "ON - OFF" button was broken, at that time they had the set for two weeks . On returning ( all fine ) . It then went on the "blink" the engineer came said it was the ariel connection making the picture break up also couldnt get any information on the built in free view, I duelly went and bought a new ariel connection still the picture was breaking up but still no free view info, engineer came AGAIN said it was an old set and the free view needed up dating ! On calling the Customer service line I was told that both items were (Reconditioned ) WHAT ! I have been ;ed to beleive for the past two years I have been buying a NEW set and Washing machine, which by the way has had a new Drum and electrical fault in the two years ! My TV was in the work shop for a month, on returning it last Tuesday they instaled it -- It didnt work the problem it went in with initially hadnt been fixed, they took it away again and still have it at todays date ! I have written twice to them outlinning the problems with absolutly no response to date ! I contacted Trading Standards who explained to me that Buy As You View are in breech of contract, this I quoted to them in my letter of the 4th September and 8th October, Still no response ! What am I to do ?

I had a laptop from bhyv and it broke down they told me that because I missed payment I had to pay for the repair myself with cost me £230 so it got added on to my account weekly to pay for the repairs after having the laptop back 3 weeks later it seems to have the same problem and I am refusing to pay them any more money until they remove the laptop and cost of repair off my account I do not believe they fixed the laptop in the first place feeling so angry with the company any one no my rights on this problem I will be greatful

I bought a tv off BAYV last year. They collected it 8 weeks ago and are now saying they haven't got it back and I must keep paying for it as it must have been stolen. The 2 guys that picked the tv up were apparently supposed to give me a docket or something but didn't. I've involved the police at their request but the police have said its a clerical error on their side most probably but they continue to phone me daily with regards to my account it's driving me insane. The collector has said I need to get a crime reference number so they can sort it then when insurance company deliver a new tv I must leave it boxed and ring him to collect it. Pure madness I will never get anything from this company again they are terrible

Oh and as for them calling the police? What they gonna so? Arrest you for trying to watch tv on your own television? As long as nothing (meter) is damaged I think they would probably think it was a crank call

Also I don't think the police would be very interested in the fact you are trying to watch tv on your own television as long as nothing (meter) is damaged!
Their threats are laughable 😆

Please people just realise you can just unplug the meter from your tv and use another cable from most other tv's or buy one for next to nothing! Hope this helps.

Buy As You View [BAYV] warranty and agreements

Well, it seems that Buy As You View are getting away with murder .They are not regulated by the FSA ( Financial Services Authority ), refuse point blank in admitting miss selling of warranty on goods .I have now seen 3 hp agreements with signatures on which arent the customers .Yet myself and other customer I know of have wrote to Buy As You View about these agreements and Buy As You View have even failed to respond at all, infact they have completely ignored the fact that these agreements exist, on 1 agreement there is no signature on behalf of the company, no date, date of birth of customer is wrong, thats without the signature looking nowhere near that of the customers, so ' allegedly forged '. Buy As You View know full well that the financial Ombudsman cant take cases on of Buy As You View as they are not regulated by the FSA, clever Graham Clarke and co . This company are taking thousands off customers, high interest rates .Yet turn a blind eye to serious complaints . They also state that all employees are trained to sell the warranty, explain to customers what it is, and employees have unannounced visits upon them to check on them, so to speak . If you ever have a problem with this company, telephone consumer direct or your local trading standards . Rip off as you view have no care for their customers complaints .If waaranty is added without your knowledge to goods purchased off this company, or your told you have to have their warranty, or youve been sold it on these grounds, telephone the Office of fair trading, consumer direct .

Buy As You View [BAYV] Interst rates ,mis selling and bad customer liasons

Have been mis selling warranty to customers for years by adding it to hp agreements without asking the customer if they want their so called 'optional warranty ' Harrassment and bullying by employees to customers to get payments out of them, and removal of essential goods from customers using bullying, leaving families without washing machines, televisions etc . High interest rates of 39%, and each time a customers has a new item on hp, they midify agreements adding interest upon interest, the goods are never the customers, unless they pay off goods in full, the company targets low income families, single parents .This company do not give a toot for their customers and the high management such as Graham Clarke, Chief Executive turns a blind eye to complaints when sent to him . I have recently requested true copies of my agreements and have found 2 which have signatures on them which are not mine, so someone has taken it upon themselves to sign the agreement instead of bringing the credit agreements back to me to get signed, or for some other unknown reason . I have sent a letter to top bosses at Buy As You View, who have ignored this concern I have .

Well I Called the company today on behalf
of someone who has been paying these people
for years
Was astounded to learn that they had charged
£174 for a kettle, totaster, and a small microwave I checked the cost of the items at
Asda £84.00
What is worse is they have also charged £104
For a worthless warranty, it does not cover
Breakages just manufacturer issues
Total rip off

Well it has now been over a month since my TV went off due to Buy as you View messing up a Direct Debit, still awaiting a call back with they promised within 3 days, not making another payment until they do, trading standards are investigating them and financial ombudsman as they are trying to place charges on my account saying tried to take DD, but there is no DD setup and there is no transactions on my statement as back has confirmed...

they also say they have tried ringing but my phone logs say otherwise. Even asked they to remove the goods but then ignore my requests, They have also been advised to ring me to gain entry to my flat as I don't hear the door and yet again they try knocking, complete shambles, asking for a settlement figure and they have ignored me. let it now go to court as it is now they legal responsibility to honor these requests
