    They said I need to make a $20 intail payment at the end of signing the contract which I did. It shows it went through. Come off my card and said merchandise would be by retailer. When I called 4 days later they had no record of order. Had 3 $20 payments that shows Progressive took off my card connected then they told me the retailer which was Home Depot was responsible for the refunds and they will not refund my money. I have screenshots of each transaction the contract and it telling me that waiting on delivery but telling me I need to make another $20 payment first. They are thiefs. Scammer.

    I have been a loyal Guitar Center customer for more than 20 years. In fact, I even helped build the largest Guitar Center in New York City in the early 2000s and worked there briefly afterward. Because of that history, it genuinely pains me to write this. Unfortunately, the level of customer service I have experienced recently has been some of the worst I have encountered anywhere, and I have been purchasing musical instruments for more than 30 years. In less than two months, I have had three negative experiences with Guitar Center and two separate issues involving Progressive Leasing.

    The first incident involved a rare electronic instrument that I purchased through Guitar Center using Progressive Leasing. Seven hours after completing the purchase, I discovered that the item had been sold to another customer. I had to make several phone calls just to figure out what had happened because I never received the confirmation number or tracking information I had been promised. A Guitar Center representative assured me they would call me back with the tracking number after the online purchase was completed, but I never heard from that person again. As a result, I lost the opportunity to purchase a very rare instrument due to either carelessness or incompetence. This happened less than two months ago.

    Despite that experience, I decided to give Guitar Center another chance. I found an Akai MPC Sample at a local Guitar Center about an hour from my home. The item was advertised and sold to me as brand new, and I paid full retail price for it. However, when I arrived home and opened the box, it was obvious that the unit had already been used. I do not have a problem purchasing used equipment. I simply expect honesty and transparency when making a purchase. Once again, this was another disappointing experience with Guitar Center.

    A few weeks later, I found another rare musical instrument and purchased it through Guitar Center and Progressive Leasing. Nearly a week later, I realized I was dealing with the same Progressive Leasing representative from the first incident, Mike **, who had been argumentative and dismissive during our previous interaction.

    Ironically, on the same day I completed a customer survey expressing my dissatisfaction with Progressive Leasing, I received a phone call from Mike Contreras informing me that Guitar Center could no longer sell me the item I had ordered nearly a week earlier. At that point, I had already spent days anticipating its arrival that coming weekend, assuming it was already in transit. I was then told that the item had suddenly been discovered to be damaged and therefore could not be shipped. Honestly, I was stunned. Perhaps the timing was simply a coincidence, but it certainly did not feel that way. After submitting negative feedback regarding my experiences, I suddenly learned that my order would not be fulfilled because the item was supposedly found damaged at the last minute.

    At this point, I have experienced three separate incidents with Guitar Center and two with Progressive Leasing in less than two months. Needless to say, I will never use either company again. After the first incident, when I lost out on the rare instrument that had been sold to another customer, I even submitted a formal complaint. I never received a response from anyone at Guitar Center headquarters, which speaks volumes in itself. It left me feeling as though customer concerns simply do not matter. There also appears to be a major disconnect between Guitar Center and Progressive Leasing, and unfortunately, customers are the ones who suffer because of it.

    Moving forward, I will continue doing business with companies like Sweetwater, Zzounds, and others where I already have accounts. In all my years dealing with those companies, I have never had a single negative experience. What is most disappointing is that, after everything I went through, nobody from either company attempted to offer a reasonable solution, alternative, or even a sincere apology. That says everything.

    I will never purchase another item from Guitar Center or through Progressive Leasing again. I would strongly caution anyone considering using Progressive Leasing for a rare or highly sought-after item. If it is something you truly have your heart set on, do not assume you will actually receive it, and do not get your hopes up.

      I have been messing with Progressive for many years and the policy, red tape and service have all changed. I have been trying to complete a lease for 3 days. First in store with Home Depot after shopping and ready to check out, we were told we needed to enter all the items on the app. Day 2 told we could not use the military discounts nor could we purchase items on sale. After speaking with 2 supervisors and countless representatives over last 2 days I have 22 items in my cart and no one can help me make a purchase. I ask for a supervisor again today and was there were too many people in queue and I would need to call back tomorrow which would mean day 4 of trying to make a purchase.

      If I could give ZERO STARS I would. I had two agreements with Progressive Leasing. Auto paid every two weeks - never ever late. I am an excellent customer. I wanted to buy from a different store so I contacted PL cst support and they told me if I paid off one of my two agreements early, I would be able to purchase from a different store. So I paid off one and applied for a new store. I was approved. I added an additional debit card to my PL account (I use two different banks for two checking accounts and a savings account). There seemed to be an issue adding that card. I also received an email to use Plaid to link my bank account again. I did and it went through successfully.

      When I went to place a new order, it said there was an issue verifying a card. This was the exact same bank account and exact same debit card that I used the entire time I was a PL customer. Nothing changed except I received a pay raise. I was told to contact PL cst support. I spent over 40 minutes on the phone with PL - being transferred from one person to another. Finally I was told they could not verify my bank account. The EXACT same bank account that I have been using all this time. NEVER late, never missed a payment. I was told to try to reapply in 30 days. So not only was I lied to, on the PL app it still tells me I'm approved and to shop. What a kick in the face, salt in the wounds. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

      I got qualified over 1500 on Progressive and once I was about to make a purchase, my card didn't go through. A purchase from my card was only 50 dollars at the moment. Well, I even received a message from my bank saying they thought fraud was going on and wanted to make sure it was me, and I confirmed it was me making the purchase. So I try again, and nothing. So then just talked with a representative from Progressive, and they just told me they couldn't do anything until 30 days after my account was clear from the situation! My card was never locked (I thought), made a purchase afterwards, and the card passed, but now I have to wait 30 days I guess to swipe my card. Really sucks even though Progressive talked to me to confirm it was me and NOT A FRAUD they still decided with their 30-day wait. Then what is the whole point of talking to a representative? Don't help at all.

      If there was a 0 rating I would give it been with this company for years and spent 10s of 1000s of money with them. Things have definitely changed for the worst. Got approved. Made my order made my initial payment. Went to sign told me they needed more info but won't send the request email for up to 7 days. After spending hrs on the phone the lease before this one was even more difficult but after 7 days of phone calls with them finally went through. Think twice before using this company.

      I have successfully paid off 29 lease agreements in full, all within 90 days. I was consistently approved for $2,000–$3,000 based on my lease history and payment performance. Over the past year, however, my approval amounts have gradually decreased, and now I am no longer being approved at all. When I contacted customer service, I was told this was due to changing my bank account. This is extremely frustrating and inconvenient, especially in today’s economy. Progressive has been a major help for my larger purchases, and I worked very hard to maintain a strong payment history by ensuring I never defaulted and always paid my leases on time. It is disappointing that despite my long history of responsible payments and successful payoffs, changing my banking information has seemingly caused me to lose approval eligibility entirely. I would appreciate a review of my account and consideration based on my proven payment history and loyalty as a customer.

      I was a approved for a certain amount then after talking to multiple customer services reps I was told that the card on file had a descripmency with expiration date.

      Then I was told I had to redo my credit app which I did. Then I was told after I reapplied that it would take up to 30 days before I would be receive an approval amount. Then I called back and talked to the 4th person (service rep). He informed me that I should never have re applied bc that voided out the previous approval. I've been a loyal customer of yalls for years and I can promise I will never go back through you guys until you can get your business in line. I do not recommend anyone to use you guys because I've wasted over half the day dealing with your reps that clearly doesn't know how to conduct ur business. You have missed out on making money from me going forward.

      Reviewed March 30, 2026

      I keep getting emails about a loan that is past due and I never recall ever having anything to do with Progressive Leasing. When I called the first time about it the guy I spoke to to said he was putting a request in to the supervisor stating that this was not mine and disputing it. And now I keep getting emails saying that my balance is past due. When I called again I asked that documentation needed to be sent to me supporting this loan and what it was for. The lady on the phone continued to tell me over the phone what it was for and that I bought an iPhone 12 in Georgia when I have never been to Georgia. Then she told me I had to go file a police report and send that to them. After I demanded that the documents and proof of this purchase she said that she would email over the documents.

      After a week I still have not received the documents. And when I went to the police and told them about having to file a police report they said that that was the incorrect information. If I want to file a police report for fraud or anything that I would be filing the report against Progressive Leasing for fraud. I believe that these emails with no information except to call from Progressive Leasing is a scam. I will not pay anything to Progressive Leasing until they can provide me with the proper documentation I have the right to see. I will be speaking to the police further about filing a report of fraud against Progressive Leasing.

      If I could give this place a negative rating I would. Their customer service sucks! They owe me a refund and I haven't received it yet. it's been almost a month since they so called processed it. All they keep saying is they have refunded it and it's on my bank. I sent bank statements showing I haven't received anything they still are telling me to contact my bank. I will never deal with this place again regardless of the retailer. It's not worth the headache. I reported them to BBB.

      I have used PROGRESSIVE LEASING on several occasions. However, lately they keep saying all my debit cards aren't valid and only doing direct withdrawals from my checking account works when making payments online. However when I call and they run any of the cards, it ALWAYS works. They do this for a couple of reasons. A, on your payment due date, your payment is rejected and is now late incurring a hefty fee. B, They have to pay a small fee on ALL card transactions. This hurts their profit margin and they want every single penny they can get. Direct Withdrawal Payments cost absolutely nothing.

      Progressive Leasing is full of baloney, this new overseas takeover, they have they're scamming us out of our money. You're being tax double for whatever items you purchase from the store, so your initial amount is way different. Once you leave the store where you made the purchase at. My experience was I made a payment. They told me I had 230 to pay the 90 days. Well, they took a lot more than what was due when I called. They gave me excuse about, they broke the payments down, and it was a bunch of bologna, but I got scammed, do not use them.
