Dear Customer,

We are writing to inform you that Lifestyle Rentals Ltd trading as Hiya ("the Company") will cease trading on 20 July 2026.

This decision has not been taken lightly. Following careful consideration of the Company's circumstances and all available options, it has been concluded that ceasing trade is the most appropriate course of action.

What this means for you

1. Termination of Your Rental Agreement

Your rental agreement with the Company will terminate with effect from 20 July 2026 pursuant to the relevant clause within your contract.

We acknowledge that the contract provides for a minimum of seven days' written notice. Unfortunately, due to the Company's circumstances and the immediate cessation of trading, it has not been possible to provide the full contractual notice period.

2. Rental Payments

Please ensure that no further rental payments are made from 20 July 2026 onwards.

The Company is taking steps to cease the collection of future payments. However, we recommend that you review any standing orders, direct debits, or other payment arrangements linked to your rental agreement and take any necessary action to prevent further payments from being made.

3. Equipment Currently in Your Possession

You may retain the equipment currently rented from the Company free of charge.

Please note that, following the cessation of trading, the Company will no longer be able to provide servicing, maintenance, repairs, replacements, technical support, or any other aftercare services in relation to the equipment. Should the equipment require repair or replacement in the future, you will need to make your own arrangements.

4. Personal Data

The Company will ensure that any personal data held is deleted or destroyed in accordance with its legal and regulatory obligations, prior to the liquidation of the Company.

Further Information

Should you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact FRP Advisory Trading Limited, whom the Company has instructed to assist with the process of placing the Company into Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation.

If I could give 0 stars I would!!

If I could give 0 stars I would!!! Been with the company for several years everything was great at the start had my fridge freezer for 1.5yrs and suddenly it is a disco with strobe lights when I open the door, after contacting I was given wrong information, I pushed further and was informed no it is outside the 1 year warranty they won't be repairing despite clause 7 in the contract stating with the words "repairs throughout the hire" even states it on their own website!! They lie and now they are saying they no longer stock fridge freezers keep the fridge they will stop the contract and basically it's my problem now because a 1.5 year old fridge is TOO OLD to be deemed as worth fixing absolutely disgusting as someone else said they have stopped caring about their current clients and I am not surprised about their bad reviews! DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME THEY WANT MONEY AND NOT TO HELP WHEN THINGS BREAK!!!

UPDATE NO EMAIL WAS SENT A GENERIC LIE RESPONSE

I wouldn’t even give 1 star if I could

I wouldn’t even give 1 star if I could. When I first joined the company around 5 years ago they was brilliant. I’ve had my tumble dryer almost 3 years. I have a couple of months left until my payment is being reduced. The heating element broke in the dryer so I sent a video and a picture as they requested. 2 days later I have a txt message from hiya to tell me they no longer stock tumble dryers and I need to dispose of it how I see fit and they will cancel future payment! Woke this morning a week later to find they have not cancelled the payment! I’m worried about my other products now. They have you over a barrel. I literally am saving to buy my own products and then they can come collect theirs. The way they treat their customers is degrading. You don’t pay by 9am they will cut your products off! And then they tell you that they no longer stock tumble dryers.
It’s a waste of time too because they don’t even take new customers on at the moment so they don’t really care about their bad reviews anymore either!. I wish I just saved up and brought my things and paid for insurance cover on them. Because I’ve spent almost £2000 on a tumble dryer that would have cost me £180 in the Argos. I’m gutted . Sorry if this happens to any of their other customers I feel for you.

The Nagging Company

Their products are okay, but what is not okay if you miss a payment.

I pay about £6 a week, the amount of times they phone me up if I am a day late is ridiculous.

I have now have blocked their phone number.And just deal with them via text.

The day of the missed payment.They will constantly phone you text you email you.

Then, they leave you recorded message which says you must contact them urgently.

They make it sound so important, It is the missed payment £ 6.

And they know I have always paid my payment occasionally.I might be a day late, but that is it.

They treat me like a criminal, and the constant phoning, texting emailing would be enough to drive the Pope mad

I'm very glad I blocked their number. Life is stressful enough without them adding to it tenfold

Hi Shaun, thank you for your review, we pride ourselves on providing top quality products and unbeatable customer service.

We have investigated the article which appeared on This Morning and checked our heat pump dryers and can confirm that we have never stocked any which are now a fire risk. Therefore our customers should not be concerned, but if you wish to email us at team@sayhiya.co.uk with your customer ID or Order ID we can certainly look into this for you to provide you with peace of mind.

If you would like us to raise a formal complaint to investigate anything else then please also email us at the above address.

Many thanks

Joanne

AVOID THIS COMPANY

Avoid this company ! I have a tv and phone with these cowboys . The phone I sent back and just never heard anything from them . Called to find out said it’s not been received so now I’m just paying for a phone I don’t even have . The tv power plug port ( on the tv it’s self ) broke though age it’s a few years old and was a refurbished one I sent pictures though emails and here I am almost a year later still paying it with the same problems . Total scammers

We’d like to look into both the phone and TV concerns and help resolve them as quickly as possible. Therefore I have raised a complaint on your behalf, you will hear from us shortly with the outcome of our investigation.

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention.
