So we just moved into a new apt. Didn't have anything. So we went to Aaron Rent to Own. Now we have creepy disgusting bed bugs. I know there are pending lawsuits which we plan to look into. I refuse to pay for this mess they created.

Hi Amber,

Aaron's rent a center Fayette, AL - I had leased a washer and dryer for a few months till I could get something else. I made my payments of the first which was for the full month. I had them pick up the washer and dryer on the 15 which was only half a month. I asked for a refund of half the month. They claim they do not do that. Yet when I go over the contract there is nothing noted in that respect and although it's only 20 dollars. I think they should either fix the contract to state once a month is paid no refunds. Have their representatives state so and refund the money. I contacted them and they said they do not do refunds.

Hi Marguerite,
Unfortunately, according to our policy once your item has been delivered, you can contact your local store to schedule a time for return or pick-up as stated in your agreement. However, you will not receive a refund. We do apologize for the inconvenience. If you would like to speak with a member of customer service, please call 1-800-950-7368. Thanks, -Tavius

So Aaron Rents sold me a TV under contract saying it was a 55 inch TV. Well it’s paid off and needs repair. Well looked up the model number for parts and it’s only a 49inch TV. They ripped me off for over 600$ so I will be contacting a lawyer and suing the ** out of them!!!

They charged me a late fee (wasn't even close to being late) and was told "but this month we didn't." I was told I would be taken care of for the next bill because they made a mistake and instead they charged me again then have me an attitude when confronted the following month. I started the process with the Attorney General Office, now waiting to hear back. Excited to get Justice for the theft and the attitude.

I left rac because I personally felt uncomfortable with their aggressive tactics with customers when a bill is not even owed yet. I decided to try Aaron and I could not be happier! They have excellent customer service and always willing to work with customers! I even referred my daughter to them and heard nothing but great things from her about her experience! I can only surmise these bad reviews do not reflect on our Ukiah Aaron because they are amazing! I have paid off a 70 inch smart tv, a ps4, washer and dryer, All in one hp pc and am now working on a brand new mattress as well as a beautiful recliner. All in 3 years! I should also mention they have quality merchandise which is something I can not say for RAC. So give the Ukiah Aaron a try, you won't be disappointed!

So my wife and I started the rent to own from Aaron’s for a tv and we have always paid when we said we would. I told someone on the 4th I would send in a money order so that there were no foul ups with my bank account (like in the past) and they would have their money. Tonight on the 9th a repossession guy showed up wearing leather like gloves like he was expecting trouble or something telling me that if I had done what I said I did he wouldn’t be there saying the mail system doesn’t mess up like that we would have had it already. Then when I told him that I was going to go down and fix the issue tomorrow he told me it was no good. He needed either money right now or he needed the tv and I told him, “No this is ridiculous. It’s 8:30 at night.” He’s now woken up my children and he has the gall to sit there and insult me telling me I have a guilty conscience on my own doorstep.
So finally he told me to have the money for on Friday at the latest or he’s coming back. The manner in which he said is textbook definition of a threat. These guys might as well be loan sharks. Shame on me for getting into this. If you ever think about going to Aaron’s for anything think again. This has been the biggest mistake on purchasing something I have ever made. Just as well we also tried to get a fridge from them brand-new when we moved into our house and it showed up falling apart and dented scratched up all over. I eventually told the guy that was here at my house to eff off. I shouldn’t have to put up with this at my own house. If they do send that guy back to my house I will call the sheriff’s department on him for harassment and I will get a restraining order against that individual in specific. He in particular is threatening in his approach and manner and insulting with no sense of respect.
Last time he showed up on my doorstep I gave him my word as a man that I would pay them the following day and I did. He called the next time when I was literally 1 day late and I told him I would pay that afternoon and I did. And now he calls me a liar when I told him I put the money order in the mail and because they didn’t get it right away he shows up on my doorstep and calls me a liar.
Let’s be honest. He may not have said directly “you’re lying” but his words were exactly “if you did what you said you did I wouldn’t be here” = the exact same as saying “you’re lying”. He should not be calling people a liar on their own property. That’s just disrespectful and bad business practice. And at this point it is harassment and he his manner is threatening to me and my family. It took almost two hours to get my daughter back to sleep after she woke up to him banging on my door. Aaron’s should be shut down completely. And ultimately shame on me for getting into this.

After all these years, Aaron Rents is STILL NOT worried about customer service. The rep called me on the 3rd and agreed to change my date to the 5th. He was very pleasant. On the 5th I tried logging in and it said that it would send me password and it never did. So on today, instead of the representative calling me, he called all my relatives. I was working and would of called once I had gotten off. I called him and asked him and why not call me since I was the one needing to make the payment. He stated it is protocol to not call the consumer, just the relatives.
I know that the law states that collectors may contact relatives if unsuccess in trying to get in contact with you. Per the fdcpa that may include calling relatives to figure out how to get in contact in with you. But he just spoke to me 2 days prior. He never called me today. Again, I should of been the first person contacted. These attempts were malicious and considered harassment. I also gave them a cease and desist on my relatives and friends. They still called.

I rented to own an Amana washer. It's paid off. Several months ago it began making a horrid noise - wouldn't spin or agitate. I called the store and after troubleshooting over the phone I was told to contact the factory because it was probably covered under factory warranty. Try again - I was told it wasn't and go to the point of purchase. This is totally ridiculous.
All I ask them for it was to have it repaired and cover the cost and they are acting like I'm asking for a kidney. I don't know who's giving me more of a hassle the people in the office that I've been writing letters to or the people at the store where I bought it. This is my fourth rent to own purchase from Aaron's. They didn't tell me that after it was paid off they had wash their hands of it. It's high time they take some action and positive action I may add. A multimillion-dollar company with such horrid consumer relations isn't very good to deal with. I've sent my fourth or fifth letter today to them to find out who I talk to.

I have been a loyal customer for 18 months. The employees I have been dealing with are Extremely Unprofessional! I have been lied to on numerous occasions. The employees including the Manager have told me lies to get me to rent merchandise and after signing rental agreements they say "I never told you that". One person tells you one thing and someone else says different. I had an issue with a TV in which the screen would turn white after being on for so long. I reported this and they were supposed to pick it up and bring me a new TV... After numerous calls and over a month lapsed they finally showed up and again brought the wrong TV I was wanting. They charged me for another month and added late fees on a TV that didn't work. They waited a month to switch them so they could charge me for an additional month.
I paid off merchandise In the past and received a paper which said I have Gold Star Status, when I mention this and attempt to benefit from a status I clearly earned I am told I am not a gold star member only after renting more merchandise! I have never been treated as poorly as this company had treated me after being a loyal customer this long! If I wasn't so close to buyout I would terminate my agreements and go elsewhere! How does a company stay in business when they lie, threaten and harass their loyal customers!
I will NEVER deal with this company again! I rent used merchandise that is damaged with promises of new item being delivered at later date and I'm told that it was never said to me, so I pay brand new price for an old damaged fireplace, TV stand with gauges, scratches, no shelves though. I was told it would be traded for a brand new one when one arrived. Again I was lied to, once you sign the lease agreement everything they promise you is recanted and they say they never said that! I will be filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau. I could type more but I get more mad with every letter! THINK TWICE BEFORE DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY!

I returned my item [TV] that I had just watched, I put towel over it, I went back to store, the manager plugged it in and said it's not working and I have to pay full price. She called me a liar, extremely rude. I asked how it worked 30 minutes before I turned it in. I told her I'm not paying for it. She ran my credit card and charged me for a month, I turned the product in 2 days before it was due. She refused to credit me back. I left it there and advised her not to use my credit card. The store employee were rude, made smart remarks, manager called me a liar and she stated she will run my credit card every month, till it's paid off.

We bought a refrigerator from them and had no problems so when we paid it off we decided to purchase a TV Blu-ray player and entertainment center. After about 4 months the TV went to a blue screen and no longer worked. We contacted them and were told that we needed to bring it in. When we did the girl working there began examining the TV and pushing on the screen very hard with her thumbs. She said that the screen was damaged and we did it which was not true. They refused to even have the tv looked at. To make a long story short I just bought a new TV. Then at about 9 months the Blu-ray player started acting up and again they blamed us. Also they kept getting the payment date wrong and calling asking for payment two weeks before the due date.

I leased something online on March 30 at 1:11 a.m from the Log Cabin store in Macon Ga. I was approved. I later that day got a call to verify my information. Which I was kinda of puzzled by since it was the same information I sent to on the application but I complied anyway. Then I was told I had to bring all this information to the store. Which this kind of defeats the purpose of doing an online purchase. If I wanted to do all that I would have just went to the store in the beginning. I feel like they bullied me because they was like, “I ordered your merchandise and it's in the store right now. And if you don't come in today we won’t be able to deliver it until Monday.” So I informed them that I would not be able to get there because I had to work. And ask if it was okay for me to send someone else with the information. They told me, “Yes. If it was there by that day I could get my order.”
My information was received they told the person that it would be delivered later that day and they would call me when it was on its way. Mind you I had to go out of my way to get someone to do this for me. So time is just ticking away no call no delivery or anything. So the next day comes and I call the store to see what happened. After a long hold the agent comes back saying, “We need you to come up here so we can get it delivered Monday.” I am like, “Why do I need to come up there?” First it was, “I don't know.” Then it was, ‘Because we have to put a face with the identification. Someone else could be fraudulently using your name.” At this point I feel like this is crazy. She was like, “People could buy homes in your name.”
First of all with the proof I provided that is impossible. My check stubs from my job verifying that I am who I said I am. My card that I paid with which came from the government had to verify who I was to issue me this card. My check goes to my bank account. Which I bank with Robins Financial Credit Union who definitely verified my identity before I got an account. My lease which has no one name on but mine definitely had to verify my identity before I rented my home. Which all this information was provided to the store. But I still have to find a way to the store to verify myself to get my item. They have my money why do I have to go through all this to get a online purchase? They did all this rushing me and making me go out my way and I still won’t get my item until Monday. Which this all depends on if I make it up there by the time they close. This is very unprofessional.

I rented a stackable washer and dryer from the Lower Burrell, PA store. I asked that it be picked up because I no longer needed it due to moving at the end of this month (March 2018). The manager conveniently “forgot” to put me on the schedule, but assured me that they would pick it up between 3pm-7pm on 3/30/18. Well, that time frame came and went without a single call from Aaron’s apologizing for being late. I called several times to find out if they were coming, and was told they’d be there by 7:30. Surprise! They didn’t. I called and was told they would be finishing up with someone else and would head out to me as soon as they were done. I was told this several times, and I honestly didn’t want to wait any longer, it was almost 8 pm by then.
I was tired and had other things that I needed to do that I held off on doing because I was waiting for them to pick up my unit. No apology from the worker Val (who honestly doesn’t have the best personality to be working in customer service and I’ve never had a positive experience with her). So disgusted with this company. I will never rent from an Aaron’s ever again. Obviously I am not important since I am no longer a paying customer, they can keep me hanging. If the unit is not picked up before the end of the business day tomorrow, 3/31/18, it’s going to the curb. I expressed to the manager that I needed to be out of my apartment by the end of the month. I can’t store their property for them because they refuse to do their job.

I am very disappointed with Aarons. When I purchase my products from Aaron's I was satisfied until the money came up. I was satisfied with my product until half the month was up then they tried to get more money out of me. It was not what we discussed and they hit it in the paperwork. They tried to convince me that I had something that I did not have. And then when I dropped them, they sent me paperwork in the mail that I did not get when I started my service with them. I had a really horrible experience with Aaron, and I will never use their service again.

Candy ** who is the account manager at a Spartanburg store on McCravy ave was extremely rude. She gave me false information regarding my account then took money off of my debit card that was not discussed. When we spoke and I told her that's not what we discussed she said "If you don't like the way I do my job call my general manager" then proceeded to hang up. I called the store back to finally speak to the GM who fixed the problem. My complaint is regarding the way Candy handled my problem. If she is going to do customer service she needs more training and does not to be the manager if that's how she is going to handle a customer.

I am renting a bedroom suite which took Aaron's about 2 months to deliver. I have received nothing but lies from day one. My better self told me not to rent from them, but because I am on disability and very sickly I really had no other choice. I have made my payments every month so far. I made an agreement to pay on the 3rd of every month as this is when I receive my payments. Yet they begin blowing up my phone on the 2nd telling me my payment is due. I was transferred to the manager Nikki who is very rude and nasty. Because my payment THIS time was scheduled to come on the 2nd (due to the 3rd being a Saturday) she tells me well you're on disability and you got paid today! Um, excuse me Miss? She knows none of my circumstances or HOW I even receive my money monthly for her to even say this to me. This happened this month.
I have yet to make my payment because I am in the hospital after suffering another stroke. They have called my family members harassing them. My children have come home to several sticky notices with messaged tacked to my door. More than once!! I am not even late 1 month. The practices they use have got to be against the law!! My grandmother is staying at my apt with my kids while I'm rehabilitating and she states she was scared for her life. They send people knocking and banging on the door like you're a common criminal! This is unacceptable! Especially for a $160 payment!!
My grandmother is an old lady and should not fear answering my door. But because I am disabled, ** and live in a poor neighborhood they feel as if they can treat you any kind of way. I am going to see what legal matters can be against Aaron's. Especially this store, because their practices are absolutely ridiculous. Nothing but Mafia tactics. I refuse to be bullied. It's bad enough that they overcharge to rent ANYTHING from them. I advise that everyone think 20 times before renting from Aaron's!! The worst!

I rented a mattress with Aaron's. I have always paid on time and was never late with the payments. I was told in the beginning if there was ever a problem that the mattress came with a warranty and they would simply switch it out. When I went in to the store last time to make a payment I told the employee that the mattress was bowing and developing sinkholes in the middle and I wanted someone to come and take a look. That's when the trouble started.
At first he said that mattress would not do that and I said well it is. Then he agreed finally to send someone out trying to schedule it with him was a nightmare. He insisted that I cancel an appointment for the next day which I could not. I told him I had all the next week available. Well he became very angry so I asked to speak to someone else. He refused to let me. Finally another employee came out and scheduled the appointment. They came, took pictures of the bed and left. I get a call saying it would be replaced. Three weeks went by nothing. So I called and went around in circles again with Aaron's.
Finally they agree to bring me a new one of the exact same brand. Well when they showed up it wasn't the exact same brand. It was not worth the payments I'm making. The mattress they came with was garbage with horrible reviews. I refused it. Yesterday I get a call saying they need pictures of the mattress. The original pictures were lost. I took more pictures and sent them. Now I'm being told those pictures may not be good enough because the mattress is zipped in a thin waterproof cover but they will let me know if they need more. I'm also being told it is going to take a while because they have to contact Simmons. They should have done that in the beginning instead of trying to get me to accept a mattress of lesser value. In the meanwhile I'm paying them monthly. They have had a month to resolve this and have done nothing but give me the runaround.

She paid them cash for this washer 700.00 dollars and when you look up the washer it only sold for brand new 289.00. Now you tell me that's not a ripoff. This washer was no good when they sold it to her. I sure hope that no one else has been taken advantage of in this manner.

The two main people there were very helpful each time we visited the store, and when they delivered the furniture. The one guy even found a larger tv, older, but larger, for the same price. We were very happy with our experience there.

Where do I begin?!? Just like everyone else I'm a hard working single mother that was scammed by Aaron's. I purchased a TV and bed, dresser and washer from them. 3 years later TV and bed is gone. Washer gone in 9 months and my dresser drawers broke 2 weeks later. I only made 3 payments on the TV and bed and bought the products outright... They broke and died. The Aaron's store manager told me that the TVs are not made to last years. They go by hours. I don't know what kind of idiot he thinks I am. The bed I bought for my daughter also broke and I was told someone will come and fix it, 3 years later nobody has showed up even after telling them the bed was broke.
I moved and my washer broke so here I go to Aaron's again. The man sold me a broken washer for 700... When it first came I asked why does it not spin right. They said it's the new Samsung and it spins lighter than usual. Again someone was suppose to come look at it and never showed up. So I had to pay for someone to look at it and the damn thing is broke. So I already paid them 400 for the washer and I want them to come get it. But they keep telling me it's going to make my credit score drop. I don't want to hear none of that. I'm out of 400 dollars and out of a damn washer. All that money I put into their products is horrible. I no longer own any of them after 3 years.
They sell used broken items to people for double the money. It's like they band aid their products. Then they lie so much always telling you they're going to come fix stuff and don't. The store manager will text you the most unprofessional text messages because he dont like being called out on his lies. They scammed me for a lot of money. They scammed my mother who purchased a computer, refrigerator and couches. Again 4 years later she has none of those items. They all BROKE!!! Within weeks to months. It's so sad they do this to people. EVERY SINGLE ITEM I HAD IS NOW BROKE OR DEAD. So much money wasted. I will NEVER EVER EVER GO BACK. Least Rent a Center give you new or gently used items for good prices. And they will not BS you! My neighbor uses Rent a Center and she's going on 11 years with her flat-screen and washer...
So I paid 600 for my daughter bed from Aaron's and had to replace it in 3 years... I paid 500 for the TV and had to replace it in 3 years. 400 for the washer and only had it 9 months. I just went to Rent a Center to get a new washer!!! Be Alert! And best believe half of the crap they sell you is used and broke. They will band aid it and then not even keep up on their word about warranty and fixing it.

Renter beware. I contracted with this location for a corporate lease. The account was set up on auto payment. I called three days prior to my billing date to schedule a pick up because my contract at the hospital ended early. I was told that I’d be refunded the portion not used. I reminded them the contract states specifically that I wouldn’t be refunded and asked to billed only for the days used. They said they must bill for the entire month but assured me that I’d be refunded anyway. Two weeks after the account was closed, I called and asked about the refund. I was told that they don’t refund money and I should have asked to speak with someone else because they could have only charged me for the days used instead of the full month. They have three weeks of rental for free. I’ll take my business elsewhere the next time I need corporate rental in Tacoma.

I called in to lease a used TV. Since I already have an account for furniture they did everything on the phone. When I came home on Saturday (they dropped it off while I was at work, So the delivery guys told my girlfriend to sign the contract for me) When I hooked the tv up the screen was damaged and had no picture at all. They were not open again until Monday. When I spoke with the store they informed me that they tested it at the store and that I could return the TV. I have bought several TVs and furniture in the past and I’m not paying for a damage tv that I never got any use out of. Honestly I am thinking about lodging a formal complaint and if the store does not come get the TV and get rid of the lease agreement that I did not even sign I am going to get a lawyer.

I initially leased a Refrigerator, Washer, and Dryer. I made the required monthly (or sometimes bi-monthly) payments. I was told NUMEROUS times that if I returned something that I would be given credit for payments made towards something else. Well, my children all graduated and moved out. My wife and I moved into a small 1 bedroom apartment that came with a washer/dryer/fridge already installed. They refused to remove their items so I was left with no choice but to return all three to AARON'S.
When I had them picked up, it was some time before I decided to lease something else, but I decided to run over there and see what all they had. I decided to get a gaming laptop, and informed the people in the store to order me one. They informed me that it would arrive in about 1 week. I told the employees to give me a call when it came in, so I could come pick it up. 1 week passes, and I hear nothing from them, so I called in to ask what was going on. Turns out, they never ordered the laptop at all, citing a clerical error.
Well, I can understand errors, so I AGAIN told them to put the order in for it, and they again told me they would call me as soon as it arrived. ANOTHER WEEK PASSES with no call. I called back and was again given some shoddy excuse as to why it wasn't ordered. This time I told them to make a note right then to make damn sure it was ordered, and directly asked the employee working the desk that I had turned in a Washer/Dryer/Fridge that I paid on for six months, and I would like the amount I had paid in on them transferred to the laptop. THE EMPLOYEE said that it was PERFECTLY FINE, and she would annotate that in my account.
Another week passes... STILL NO LAPTOP COMES IN. I'm furious at this point. It has now been three weeks since I asked them to order this laptop, so I made a complaint on their website. I was quickly contacted by someone FROM THE STORE THAT SCREWED UP, instead of a corporate-level customer service agent. The moron on the phone told me that A. They can't order anything unless I already sign paperwork for it, and B. There is absolutely zero way to transfer credit on turned in items to something else, I would have to get the SAME washer/dryer/fridge back and the amount of money I paid in on them would be taken off the end of the lease. I told them to don't bother ordering the laptop, that there was a snowball's chance in hell that I would ever do business with them again.
About a month before this whole laptop/account issue occurred, I had gotten a flat screen TV from them, and was paying on it. I have made my payments relatively on time (never more than a week late, due to clerical errors on my part... forgetfulness to go in and swipe my card), so I had them put my card info on my account, and I would just call in and have them run it, or they would call me and remind me to authorize them to run my card.
Well, I'm now at the end of my lease, and am trying to pay the TV off, so I called in a few days ago (they had NOT contacted me previously about any late payment reminders), and set up to pay the entire remaining balance on a specific date. This location called my MY MAIN OFFICE NUMBER (despite my HOME and CELL numbers being listed on my account) and started harping me about making a payment. The moron who called me was THE SAME PERSON I TALKED TO TWO DAYS AGO TO SET UP THE PAYOFF!!! Thanks, AARON'S for embarrassing me in front of my boss, my boss's boss, and five co-workers!

My sister recently purchased a refrigerator from Aaron’s and upon loading it they tore up the front door which doesn’t even stay closed anymore unless you lock it, and ripped up not only tile, but the wood underneath the tile in the kitchen bringing it in. They charged way too much for something with dents and scratches already in it. They didn’t bring tools with them to get the handles off, we had to provide them. My mother hooked it up and the ice maker and water didn’t even work. My mother called for them to pick it back up because she got a new fridge and they were absolutely rude. My husband ended up calling again and when they showed up today, they almost hit my car and she only brought one male so my husband had to help reload the fridge into their truck.

I have rented from Aaron's for approx 5 years. Recently, in October 2017, I rented a pre-leased 65 inch LG TV from them. I had a 100 dollar off the first months rent coupon they had mailed to me. I am disabled, and live on a very fixed budget. The initial monthly payments were $100 per month. After speaking to a manager, it was agreed that the payments would be $64/month. This was verbally agreed up and I thought was reflected on the papers. The applied the coupon for the first month November), then in on Dec 3, as requested the payment was automatically deducted from my bank account. $64.
In January I went into the store to make a payment in person. The payments went up to $101.50/month. The lady whips out a contract with my signature on it agreeing to these terms. I was not given a copy of this signed agreement. I did not sign this agreement, but it sure does appear that I did without knowledge. I'm at a loss. This place, particularly a female manager have harassed me endlessly! Phone calls 3 to 5 times per day, beating on my door on a daily basis. What can I do? I do not want to lose the monies paid on these items. But I assume I have to return the property no matter how much underhanded dealing they are doing.

I can understand a company trying to help the public to purchase items they really can't afford. But they are trained to sucker you in and bait and switch items. They delivered a broken loveseat and a used old mattress when I purchased new items at store. Imagine delivering a mattress that I can find in the garbage for free and wanting me to pay $500! And then they try to tell me that is what I paid for. Customers really end up spend about X2 what the actual cost is in another store. Fortunately I was returned my money. JUST DON'T TRUST ANY OF THE EMPLOYEES. They just suckered you in for a commission and a sale with low quality overpriced damaged and defective merchandise. And their low class telemarketing tactics when late on a payment are just overboard. I feel sorry for the employees. Because only people with no self respect and low self esteem would do what they do to hardworking people.

The guy said he not coming back because there was a altercation at my home with him. OK I told her they was going to do something because I'm paying for something that don't work.
She told me that I wasn't going to be yelling at her. I told her if she was in my shoes she would be upset as well. She hangs up on me. I call back. Told, "Don't be hanging up on me". She told me she don't make money to be dealing with me. So I call corporate office to make a complaint. So Mr Regional Manager Mike call me so I told him what happened.

We rented a washer & dryer approximately 2 & 1/2 years ago. Had no problems at first. Made my payments monthly at $130.00 a month. Then my husband changed jobs & we asked for help to skip a payment. They agreed. When I start making the payments again we went to twice a month instead of once a month... I continued to make my payments on time & I went back to rent a computer as mine had died... That is when I was told that I was behind on my payments & couldn't rent the computer until I was caught up. After talking with the guy who usually took my payments & the manager they fixed the problem & I rented the computer. Then they told me it was my fault as I had gotten behind on my payments... which I had not! I rented the computer for $35 a month but returned it after 4 days because I didn't like it & it had other people's information on it.
When I returned it I asked about the $35 dollars & was told I actually didn't pay anything that they had used a free month on that rental & had put the money towards the washer & dryer. I had no proof that they hadn't & kept making my payments on the washer & dryer. Then one evening I get a call from a man at Aaron's telling me I am behind on my payments again & I need to pay the payment & a late fee... I was busy & so I did. Then he tells me to come in as soon as possible & sign another agreement because I am behind & they want to go over my contract with me. I go into the store the next day & they say no you aren't behind you are fine.
Ok now I realize I am paying $150 a month instead of $130. He says that it's ok. It will all come out in the end... So fast forward a few weeks & I make a payment. Say to the lady taking my payment, "You charged me another late fee so I'm going to change it to once a month again." This is like the 28th ish of the month. She says, "Come in on the 1st & pay your whole payment." The 1st comes & I realize I can't pay that much after just paying a payment. So I have till the 15th to make my 1/2 payment. A few days later a friend text to say that Aaron's is looking for me... I was shocked since I didn't get a call... I've been paying my bill & communicating with them for 2+ year same number. I come home the next day to find a door hanger saying to call them but it was late in the evening & so I decided to go first thing the next morning. It was like the 12th so I had 3 days till my payment was due.
The next morning Saturday 8 am I'm in the shower & hear my phone ring. I get out to find it's Aaron's! First time to get a call. Before I am even dressed Saturday morning 2 days till my payment is due they are pounding on my door! I open the door in my towel & the employee on my doorstep says, "It looks as though I've caught you at a bad time. I need you to come to the store!!!" I said, "I'm done!! Get these things out of my house!!!" I call to tell them how pissed I am & I'm told, "It couldn't have been us. We aren't even open yet!!!"
Really? Really? So I tell them, "I'm done. Come get the washer & dryer..." So that is Saturday, then Sunday then Monday I was told Saturday they would be there some time by Tuesday at 2pm... So 1:30 rolls around & I call them To say, "When are you coming to get the washer & dryer..." He said, "Oh you want them picked up?? You're not on my schedule..." Seriously. They were so worried about the money that they come 2 days early beating on my door & now they can't fit in coming to get the items... Finally about an hour later a young man comes & picks up the washer & dryer... So then stupid me I sit down, do some math & figure out my pay off was 2,500. & change & I have paid well over 3,200... But I paid mostly in cash & since the receipts are so tiny I can't find hardly any of them... So I'm screwed!! My advice GO TO SEARS!!!

I understood the terms of my agreement and I tried to keep up with payments.

When I would try to log into the site, I keep getting redirected and then my pop-up blocker kept telling me that the Aaron's site was trying to redirect me to another site. Now, I've got a bunch of letters piled up in boxes, not sure which ones are from Aaron since I've been so busy (as a single parent) that I've no clue what's left on that old account.
I know that my account was handed off to some legal department, but now people who I'm related to but never put down as references or contacts are getting a call about a civil case pending against me all of a sudden. The number they were given is for a phone number that comes back as a spam number, and the "reference number" they told me was given to this family member as a Civil Case number but the woman who answered the phone as an operator insisted it was a reference number for the account.
I never got to speak to the supposed woman who called this family member, as the "operator" never transferred me or my trusted person to her "desk". It was clearly a Call center and the person who answered never directly answered my question about this supposed Civil Case number. The furniture that I did get from Aaron's has been falling apart since it was "assembled." The washer/dryer unit has had to be repaired out of pocket every 4-5 months, and what is even more astounding is that I'm just now getting any response about it despite being given the run around about it for way too long.

My husband Vincent ** leased a 65" RCA Smart TV 11/18/2015. It was paid in full April 2017. 6 months later it went off and would not turn on again. He called the store in Suffolk, VA. To see what they would be able to do because we did not have an extended warranty. He was told to bring it in and that they have been having problems with other RCA TVs. We had already googled RCA and found lots of complaints about their products. He took the tv in thinking they would repair it only to be called 3 weeks later and saying they were not going to fix it because he had no warranty. We have TVs we paid way less for to last 10 years for this expensive one to last only a year and a half. I feel they need to stand behind their products good or bad.

2 years ago I bought a used refrigerator and a couch loveseat set. The refrigerator was 53 a month for 12 months. After the store changed employees, they continued to take the money out for this refrigerator for another year. I've confronted them about this and they insist it was new. It had a dent when I bought it and I've paid way more than it was worth. Shelves constantly fall out. It's been a very bad experience and I will never use them again.

We just wanted to let you know that we were instructed by Aaron Rents corporate office to contact our local Aaron's store and our local Aaron's store instructed us to contact Aaron's national help center and Aaron's national help center instructed us to re-contact our local Aaron's store. None of our issues, for over two years now, have ever been fully addressed or resolved. All of our on-time, never missed or never late payments haven’t been reported to any credit bureaus at all but Aaron's constantly uses the threat of reporting any missed or late payments to the credit bureaus, on their customers. We still can’t log into our Aaron's online account and this after we’ve endlessly requested the resetting of our password but never received the password resetting email Aaron's website keeps endlessly confirming we’re going to receive.
Plus no one at Aaron's 800 customer service department nor at our local Aaron's store can verify or confirm the number of payments we made towards or have left to pay on our LG 65” Smart TV and Sound Bar agreement. Our fact-finding and information gathering investigative report has been ongoing for over two years now and nothing has ever changed towards a more positive outcome. On Friday, January 5th, 2018, we’re going to submit our full fact-finding and information gathering investigative report to the New York Attorney General's Office, New York City Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), New York State Department of State/Consumer Protection Division/Board and media outlets. Furthermore we’re also going to be posting it on all social media. Along with our investigative report, we’re also going to be submitting or posting the endless Aaron’s related complaints posted on the throughout the Internet.
Aaron's negative and conniving business practices and delaying tactics are totally unfair, deceitful, unacceptable, inexcusable and must be stopped!!!! Enough is enough, our patience has totally run out and we’re not going to play Aaron's unprofessional, misinforming, misleading, delaying, deceitful, demeaning and conniving games anymore!!!!

I decided to look into renting a washer/dryer combo from Aaron's using their online application services and found out I was approved and delivery was set up for the following week for a brand new set. Well the date I was told came and went so I called the store and was told it would be another week before I could get the washer and dryer so I asked them if they had one in the store that could be delivered and was told they had one that was pre-leased but did work and was not damaged so I agreed as I did not want to be making payments on something I did not have in my home. When they delivered it I was told the price would be adjusted as the one I was getting was not new and was a different model but I could still make my payments online. I made a few payments online. Often calling. Wanting to know why I was still paying the new price for a used item and was told it was being looked into.
Well in November my stove died so my roommate decided to rent one from Aaron's and it was delivered and then was told the plugs were not the same so they needed to get one and come back to fix it. Well they did and then when time for us to make our payments in December we both went online and to our surprise both of our payments had doubled to almost 150.00 each. When we inquired about this they said it was due to the fact we both owed for the month prior. Well when I called the store a guy named Reggie said he was the local manager for the store and proceeded to speak to me about my roommate's account and said if I wanted him to finish fixing the issues with my account I needed to come in the store and pay 132.00 and then he could finish fixing the problems. Well I told him I made a payment in November.
He decided he wanted me to come in the store and made an appointment for me to come in and then on the date I was suppose to come in I get a phone call saying he is at a store in another city and he needs me to come to that store and speak to him. I refused as I am not traveling 35 miles one way just to speak to someone with no sure resolution made as I told him I am not paying 132.00 for something when I don't owe that much. So I contacted the online customer service to discuss my account and was told someone had canceled the contract I did online and that I had made one in the local store, well this made me rather upset considering I have never been in the local store and don't know who made the account for me.
Well I was told an inquiry would be sent to the regional manager and they would be calling me within 24-48 hours. I never got the phone call or any message from them. Well now for the past 3 days they have been coming to my house, calling my home and friends back to back from various numbers. The day before yesterday they came to my home and banged on my door for 45 minutes as I was not home but they disturbed my neighbor with their excessive banging. Yesterday they came to my home after the store had closed and proceeded to bang on my door and honk horns and again I was not home but my very annoyed neighbor told me all about it as well as the time. I had to apologize to my neighbor once again as I was at work.
Well they came back today and decided to speak to my 3rd roommate about my financial business and tell him all about my account as well as my other roommates account, and then told him to tell me I needed to come in and pay 132.00 for my account and my roommates account together as I am being held responsible for her account since we have the same phone number, and I needed to be in the office today no later than 3pm or the guy Reggie would be back out here to my home once again today.
And what is worse is they are threatening my roommate claiming they are going to have her arrested and jailed for stealing their property and she has been trying to make a payment but her payments are 54.00 a month but now they are wanting her to pay 129.00 for one month and she told them that is not what she owes and they have even admitted she is right but refuse to fix the issue. When we called in and told them we did not want to speak to Reggie as he claims he is the general manager for our local store we were told well there is nothing no one can do and we just need to leave a message on the website. We will never ever rent nothing from Aaron's again and regret even renting from them to start with.

I ordered a leather 2 piece sectional from Aaron's in Rockaway NJ. When the movers came a few days later they basically rammed and shoved the sectional into our apartment. After they unwrapped the sectional we noticed the wood was all broken poking through the leather. They also tore the cushion. I called and put in an order to have it fixed. The manager informed me the repair specialist would come assess the couch within a week.
A month and 5 calls later no repairs were made. This went on for over a YEAR!!! No one ever showed up! So we get a new house and called Aaron's to move the sectional to the new place. The movers came 4 days after they were supposed to. They basically finished off the sectional and didn't want to load it into the truck (the truck was completely full) so they beat this thing back up the stairs and told me that the sectional was a complete loss and would be replaced. They informed me to call the store in Rockaway and speak with the manager (Harlin). After Harlin spoke with the movers (took pictures) he agreed that the sectional was destroyed and said he would put in a replacement order. Harlin called me back around 3 hours later and told me to throw the couch out it was going to be replaced. I was told the order for a new couch was going to take a week or so to go through.
Fast forward 2 weeks and I am told that I am approved for a used couch. A USED COUCH! I paid for a new couch. The movers destroyed it. The management never came to fix it. Now because a year went by because of Aaron's negligence by not sending a repairman for day 1 I'm forced to take some used couch. I paid good money for this sectional and was a good customer and this is what I have to deal with? To add insult to injury even if I were to take the "used" sectional I have to wait for one to come in. This is insane. Christmas is a few days away and we can't even have our family come up because we have nowhere sit. I cannot place this blame on Harlin. He did what he could the fault is with the manager that was there before him (apparently fired). He had the reports in the computer according to Harlin but never did anything. This is not how you run a company.

I went to the Lewiston, Maine Aaron's and rented a apartment size GE washer and dryer on December 5th. 2017. We told them it couldn't be delivered until the 18th of December. It was a Pre-leased set. They delivered it and didn't even have the right fixtures to use it on the faucet like it's suppose to have. They come back and supposedly fix it and left. It's now the 19th. And I try to wash my first load and the whole load of water drained out onto the floor.
I called and they wanted us to wait until the next day to come fix it even though I now have a whole load of soaked laundry in the washing machine that hasn't been spun out. So I told them to come pick it up and I want a refund. He tells me they don't give refunds, which I know is false, so I called corporate. I've had problems with this store in the past and had to call Aaron's corporate before. Such as renting a new laptop that they didn't want to fix when Scott worked there. This is a terrible store and I will not be going back again.

Leased a brand new Dell laptop from Aaron's winter of 2015 because to buy a brand new one was not in my budget but could afford 65 dollars a month... Lease was to be for 18 months. Turned into 2 years and I always made my payments, sometimes a little late, due to health but kept up with them nonetheless. During the lease period about 3 times there were issues with my Dell so they would promptly bring me a laptop to use while mine was being worked on. The final and last time I used their "loaner" I made a hasty decision to use this one (a HP) indefinitely because there never were any issues, I had become familiarized with it and didn't want to do the setting up any longer. It wasn't until literally the month after my lease was up, and I "owned" this HP laptop, did the problems begin.
First of all, I am very computer literate, more than know my way around the technical end of using and restoring one and very proud of the fact that being a 51 yr old woman, am very handy with all things technical...hands on though...wording? Not so much??? Anyways, I began to realize that I was a proud owner of what I now knew was a used laptop...and, there were things wrong with it that would cost more money which I do not have (I am single and on a pension). Aaron's can't help now that it's out of their hands because the lease is over. Not going to rent another one from them again? I just wasted what is practically 3 to 4 times what an average laptop costs. This one will be obsolete in a few years too! Does anyone have a solution or have experienced this before from Aaron's. A computer is a necessity for me since I do not use a TV or have a tv. Thanks for reading.

First I didnt receive my agreement papers or the vase I ordered with the sofa and end tables so I had to drive to the store to get it. KaTrina told me she didn't know if I notice but it was cracked while on display. But I had taken a picture of it before I inquired about the set. It wasn't broken. She gave it to me and told me maybe I could tape it up. I told her I wasn't paying for a cracked vase. Then she said she would take it off.
Then while looking over my papers before leaving the store I noticed the written price was hiked up from the picture I took of it. Had it not been for the picture taken I would have had to pay $300 more in the sofa set. KaTrina mumble to another employee right in front of me and my mother as he looked at me to see if I could hear what she was saying. That was Rude! They were trying to make me pay more. Now they set my payments 19 days before the agreement date, which is the 20TH of each month, according to the papers she gave me. She would answer my calls. Other workers kept saying she was out to lunch or busy. NEVER GONNA RENT THERE AGAIN AFTER THIS SOFA SET.

In that I work from before 8 am in the morning to 6-7pm in the evening, for the sake of convenience I welcomed the addition of their On-line Application and approval processing. So far, so good. I was approved and a deposit taken via debit card. The estimated delivery 2-3 days. Having not heard from the assigned store on the delivery set up I called them to see what their schedule looked like. THIS is where the positive experience did a 180 degree turn. They weren't able to locate any paperwork? After a few minutes located. Great. "What's the schedule look like?" "We'll need you to come in and fill out the paperwork, and check the references."
"AGAIN??? I'm sorry we have been through that already. I have an order confirmation number." Doesn't matter. "That's not how it works"??? Thinking this was maybe an employee that was perhaps new to the process, I decided to call the "customer service" number. He apologized but indicated that it is the store's choice how they wish to handle it? That doesn't seem right. Let's go ahead and cancel and I will get it at Lowe's with same day delivery. Having not upset me enough already, their service rep says, "We will need you to go to have them credit your card. It wasn't charged at that store. It was charged online. We can't do that.

Back in 2005 I had rented a king size bed from Aaron Rents in Indianapolis, Indiana. I had the bed only a few months when a situation came up and I ended up going to jail. As a result of this I lost my apartment and have no idea what happened to the bed. I lost a lot of things over this happening. And for years had no idea I was being pursued over this bed till I guess this Boone County Recovery Corp found a good address on me and then the threatening letters started coming.
Apparently a private individual or "client" as Boone County Corp calls he or she bought this debt from Aarons and through Boone County Corp has relentlessly been pursuing me for 10+ years threatening jail, court dates if I don't pay this debt. There's over $900 in interest that has been added to it. But this "client" has agreed to waive that if I keep good on my payments which finally I agreed to $20 a week. Which makes it $1400. If I don't keep good on the payments then it goes up to $2400. I feel this has become above and beyond harassment especially over uncollectible debt. And I don't understand how these companies and "CLIENTS" get by with relentlessly pursuing and harassing somebody over what should fall under uncollectible debt. If there is anything at all that can be done to stop this please please get ahold of me and let me know.

I've been renting 2 TVs and a PS4 for almost 2 years. My agreement is almost up and my husband got laid and I was working. I was able to make payments but they are late because they won't work with me when I get paid. This wasn't an issue when they had the last crew working there. They were more understanding and communicated. I'm still holding bunk beds that I've asked them to pick up on numerous occasions and they have yet to pick it up but harass me about it. Then they suckered me into paying some kind of insurance that's 7 dollars a month on the TVs.
Well my Magnavox went out and I spoke to the manager. She said she would bring me a loaner and fix the one I have. Well I call back on Monday like she said and she's on vacation so I mention it to another coworker who was very rude and she said I had to be paid up on my merchandise which the week prior I had just made a 200 dollar payment. So it was a he said she said game. No one communicates. I will never rent from Aaron's again and neither will anyone I know. Terrible service and merchandise!

I have been a customer for years. Before the current manager Herb took over most concerns could be worked out with the managers. This manager is rude, arrogant and completely uncaring about customer satisfaction. My dryer which I’ve been paying for 14 months had to go out for service a month ago. Aaron’s continues to charge me and has no idea what is going on with my dryer. They even have the wrong model listed which is probably why they can’t find out what is going on with it or where it is. I’ve called to speak to the manager repeatedly and have not received a callback. Every time I call I am put on hold indefinitely until I finally hang up out of frustration. Nobody is available to answer my questions but if I’m a day late on my payments they are certainly available to talk then. They call every 15 minutes if I’m a day late. They honestly just don’t care.

I have a Current account with Aaron. I am paying for a Brand new TV. Unfortunately the HDMI Ports have been an issue since I got the tv. They have been out to my home numerous times, they currently have my TV for service. They brought a temporary TV until mine was fixed. This is the 2nd time they have had the TV. The temp tv is the same one that I have. It’s a 4K UHD TV. The temp TV is having the same issues. The top 2 ports don't even work. They left me a voicemail saying they were just going to have me keep the temp TV (By the way, it is the store's floor model). I said, “This tv don't work right either. I'm paying for a new tv, not a old floor model”.
Their solution? Well, “You can come in to the store and look at the other floor models. There are a few that are the same price you’re paying, and you can pick one of them, or you can keep the one you have”. I said, “But I'm paying for a new tv. Not an old used floor model”. They said, “Well you've had it for a year now, so it isn't new anymore”. I said, “Then if that's the case then my payment should be a lot lower”. They said, “No that's not how it works”.

My total is 144 a month, the guy AGREED, took my card number and ran it, I have PROOF on my bank account they took 100$ from me. And yet I go check my agreement online to see if they updated it for me to pay the 44 today, or if I would need to call them to pay the remainder. SURPRISE! It says I owe them 117 TODAY. 117 + 48 = 165, so I could understand if they got it backwards lol but those numbers don't equal to anything close to my bill.

So I went to Aarons.com to get a laptop, I found the one I wanted and was approved then they asked me to pay the 81.99$ for the item. I signed all of my lease agreements and everything, and now they have canceled my order and telling me it's gonna take 2 weeks for a full refund. I highly suggest no one use this company. They are frauds.

Hi Derrick,
Happy to look more into your refund and cancelation. Can you please email us at myexperience@aarons.com. Please include full name, the store you went too, phone number and zip code. We look forward to hearing from you!

Had a technical issue with a tv that I leased from Aaron. The tv wouldn't connect to wifi. I called to tell store employees of my issue. The sales rep that took the call regarding my issue tried to remedy my issue by having me connect my phone to the tv. I told her that the tv needed to be serviced, and the rep (as rudely and hastily as possible) set an appointment for someone to come out and look at the tv. A " tech" arrived and tried to self troubleshoot the tv but was unsuccessful. I was told by the tech that the tv would be replaced temporarily for repairs, but they would swap it on a later date. He told me someone would call from the store. A few days later I came home from work to a message from Aaron on my door stating to call the store. I called the store and was told that someone had come by to swap the tv's out, and that I missed my appointment for that so they would have to do it the next day.
I told the person taking the call that no one called to tell me about this appt, and to please have someone call beforehand, because I work till 5 PM. The next day someone showed up again unannounced, and left another message stating to call the store again. I, again, called the store. The manager stated that my phone was called and it went to voicemail. I stated that I never received a call. The manager reviewed the number that the store had on file. It turned out to be an old number that I had updated months earlier, and that's what I told the manager. The manager tells me that the old number is the only one they have, and that, again, since I missed my appt, that I would have to wait until another date. I lobbied to try to get the manager to send someone back and was told that basically it was my fault as they tried to contact me and that was that.
I (upset now) tried asking the manager to stop saying that I was at fault and to update my number in the system so it wouldn't happen again and he hung up on me. Now, I was upset and my voice was raised, but I wasn't using foul language, and was professional as can be under the circumstances. Not once was I asked to update the number by this manager!!! Which would have easily resolved this issue from the start. They also have my email address as well.
So I'm wondering, what type of business would send a tech to someone's home for an appt without making contact with the person? Not once but twice... And then blame the customer for missing the appt. If they didn't have the correct number and didn't physically speak with me to confirm a date and time, no one should have come out. Period. They should have sent an email about the missed contact by phone and waited to hear from me. That would seem to be protocol... I guarantee that if I hadn't paid my bill, they would have definitely took those steps to get me to return a call. The personnel at this store are ignorant to managing and or have no respect for the working class and working poor, which are the people that they serve.

I have never bought anything from Aaron's so I was surprised when an employee showed up at the front door accusing my husband of purchasing something with a different name that we didn't have. 1st time he showed up was around 8 pm. My husband told the guy we are not that person and we never rented furniture so do not come back. 2nd time, the guy came back again around 8 pm with another guy. They were not in an Aaron's vehicle but an enterprise truck and when he knocked at our door he hid to the side. We opened the door and he demanded the items again that we don't have. My husband opened the door and asked if he saw the items and even showed him his ID to prove he wasn't the person that they were looking for.
Long story short, they provoked my husband by calling him names and threatening to hurt him and our family and my husband was arrested for defending his family. All of the neighbors witnessed this harassment and are willing to testify in court on our behalf. I am not a customer nor will I ever be, but I want to caution those who consider purchasing from them that if they treat a non-customer with so much disrespect I can only imagine how they treat a paying customer. Now my family is dealing with a legal situation that should have never existed. Also the embarrassment from the scene they caused outside and the fear that the guys will come back. Please save your hard earned money and spend it somewhere else.

Aaron manager was nasty. My account is paid on the 26th of every month through my bank for the following month. They keep moving due date to make me late or not current. Manager stated he’s not going to argue but pay my bill. I’m not late. It’s been 5 months. I paid on the 26th for the first of next month which is what my list states it's due. I will not be treated this way when I’m not late and have proof I paid the same date for the last 13 months. They are very rude. I’ve always paid them on time, never late. They move dates around to make you late. Calling my lawyer. This is the 6th time they called in 4 months but about the date I am paid in advance.

Paid off an item back in February 2017. The exact amount of money that we (wife and I) were told to. 8 months later in the month of October I start getting phone calls from Aaron telling me that we owe $483.00 still. I say “that can’t be, we paid off in February.” Phone calls continue daily. To the point that I get agitated and say “I will be contacting an attorney.” Women on the phone starts arguing with me and tells me that Aaron will come to my house with the police and take back the purchased item.
A few more words are said and I eventually get perturbed enough to hang up and contact the regional manager, the Aaron customer service center and a few review websites. 3 hours later I get a phone call from the store manager saying it was an error on their part by an employee that is no longer there. So after a week of phone calls and some women telling me Aaron would come in my house with cops and take my belongs... I had paid 8 months ago and was harassed because of their mistake. Debating on contacting a lawyer still about the harassment. Saved all the phone calls.

Not happy with Aarons in Crossville, T.N. Last month we got a laptop for our son for college and we had a problem with it and they kept it overnight and put it back to factory settings and still wasn't able to fix it. So one of the people there told me to take down to Staples to see if their Tec guru could fix it and he couldn't and he said to take it back to Aarons and have them put it in the shop. And the manager said that nothing is wrong with it and they were not going to fix it.
So I was told to take it home and I said I could just turn it back in since we only had it only a week and it was used and it really bad scratches on it and it had a big chip missing in one corner. I didn't even see when we first got and I asked for some of my money back and the manager said if I hadn't paid the day before he would have given me some money back but since I did he couldn't do it. I paid $65.84 to use a laptop for a week that my son had trouble using in college. And we have been loyal customers in that store and have spent a lot of money over the years and had planned on doing more in the future too.

Today after 4 weeks on waiting (items will be delivered by next week they said) and about 5 hours on the phone trying to see where and what is going on and after receiving so many non-customer service... After they told me to call the store and the store told me to call them and so on, after they give me the best 1000 excuses I have told that again they don't have any info and they will resubmit the order again and I have to wait another week. The manager for the customer service does not know nothing and tried to play me with nice round words that said nothing but I don't know and we don't know and you wait and very polite hang on me without give me any information again?
It is frustrating and discouraging and the entire process has been ugly... At the end the same people from store said they don't have any information about our order (after 3 times being able to find it when we called) and after the store telling us they can see in their system that the online team did not send any items by mistake and after telling me that the online store is really ugly on service now they don't have any info? Is very frustrating to listen how they are lying to you every time and they don't care about customer anymore that is why you see a lot of business owners losing business because that kind of careless employees... Who cares but me right? They don't care how I feel how many times I have lost waiting for them and not even a courtesy call to let me know they won't come!!!

I needed to rent furniture so I ordered online from Aaron. My money was accepted, references were spoken to, I was told to bring ID to store to make delivery date. I get there and the manager Ava had a lieu of other things she needed before I get the furniture which wasnt disclosed online. I gave all the proof that was needed. She needed to speak to my boss. I went to work and he kindly stopped his work to call Aaron to verify my employment although I gave check stubs. So when he called from company phone she accused the 80 plus-year-old man of lying about me working there even after previous proof given.
On top of that I went in today for my refund and all I could hear was the other female associates made jokes about me as I walked in. They are very messy and they should be fired. They are very unprofessional. I feel like I dodged a bullet by deciding not to go any further to prove anything to Ava. I told a coworker about the incident and she said, "OH NO DON'T GO WITH THEM ON ELVIS BECAUSE THEY ARE TERRIBLE AND RUDE." All I'm saying is those women are the reasons why people don't want to do business at Aaron because people are going to feel like everyone that works for an Aaron store is going to be this way.

Then a contract was created for a couple TVs and he took the payment and next day canceled the signed agreement, the only reason I found out was by calling and his employee was scared to tell me about her boss’s unethical tactic. I'm curious to know if he pocketed the money. Andy is a terrible manager and he should take a few classes in customer service and I believe it’s considered fraud when you take a person’s money and cancel a contract without communicating it prior.

Hi. I've been a customer of Aaron's for ten years. I have paid out numerous accounts never missed a payment. I recently had paid my TV out as of February, it was a 65 " flat screen RCA television which is a legit well known brand of electronics. Anyways when it all of a sudden broke without warning I was pissed off that my beautiful huge TV was no longer working. I got so many compliments and it was my baby.
When it broke one day I had thought it was the cable box not working. I had my cable technician come and she said she knew was broke by a similar experience. I was devastated and called them in a rage. I talked to the manager Chad. He said he would have it taken in to see if he could fix it. Like he was doing me a favor. It took three weeks before I got back into contact with him and let it be clear I called him first. He told me my TV was broken and couldn't be fix. I got no paperwork indicating he did such a thing. I just went by his word.
So he tried to sell me another TV, a flat screen used for 12 months like that was a deal. I told him I wanted a new TV not used. So he came up with a new TV same size for 24 months like I was going to be gracious. And to top it off he took my TV and said they disposed off it and the company took it since it was no longer working. He had no right to do that or paid that TV off and have paperwork to validate my paperwork of being paid out. Chad told me since the TV was broken I didn't need it. But I was mad as hell because he took the TV I paid for and choose to make a decision without me knowing that I wasn't go get it back. I know he fixed my TV and sold it to make more money for Aaron's. I did take his offer for a new TV with no good deal Because I needed to have a TV to watch.
I hated being taken advantage of and paying money out of my pocket for a new TV that was going to extra money in my pocket. I was so happy to own my TV. Excited like a child knowing that beautiful TV was now mine. So I'm in the process of called cooperate to complain on him and how the employees are protecting this scam artist.
I will no longer be a customer of theirs. Never. We been a customer for ten years, paid out 13 items for 24 long months, never missed a payment or was called to make a payment because we was late. I mean we paid all over our items out in full with consistent on time payments. How could they do a loyal customer like this. I could see if we were trying to get over on them and missed payments and had to be called to make payments or to pick up products but no one should be done like this.
I know he took my TV to sell to another customer. No paperwork on if my TV was fixed. No proof. Just his word which I went by. Now I woke up and said no one will take advantage of me. No one. He had to be called out of his unprofessionalism and if I can help another out to warn them about Aaron's on Cobb parkway so be it. Don't fool with this company. Old management was cool but this new manager Chad is a con artist whose only objective is to make Aaron's rich. Not value loyal customers.

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. I called the store several times and it went unanswered... During their open hours... Then I went online to their chat which said that I should just go into the location. I didn't do that since I used them twice before at the location and I thought they would pull up my customer record and save some time in ordering. So when I called I spoke to someone who was helpful and quoted me a price for a new bedroom set for my guest room. He suggested that I come in right away to make sure that the items would be there for delivery on Tuesday. So I left work with a co-worker in tow and came into their store.
When I walked in a guy who looked like he was mad at the world greeted me. I told him what I was doing, that I am a repeat customer and I spoke to someone already who said they would put my order in and for me to just come in to sign everything. He told me to come to the counter with him. I did. When we got to the counter a contractor came in front of me and he told me to wait. HOW RUDE! The guy he was talking to just wanted to see if his location was having a plumbing problem because the neighbor was. So THAT is why I was bumped while being helped... But that is petty so let's move on... Just saying that at this point he is mad at the world AND not helping customers... ME!
So when I got to the counter he proceeded to tell me the items were not all in stock. I explained I spoke to a person here and he said he didn't care... They were not in stock. I told him MAYBE the reason why they are not in stock is because the I guy I spoke with is holding them for me. He said he didn't care. I saw only one other guy there and I asked him if he could ask that guy and he said no. Every interaction was met with more and more uncaring and pretentious tone. I explained maybe he could pull up my last transactions and he said no. He didn't care about that. WOW. I said maybe the guy at this store I spoke with put a note in my file because while on the phone that guy said he would AND he pulled up my accurate account. Again he said literally that he didn't care and then turned his computer screen to me and said, "See it's not in stock."
Now at this point this jerk upset me sooo much with his total lack of caring and customer service I was raising my voice. I told him that I want to speak to someone, ANYONE else other than him and then he told me to get out. GET OUT? So if you think being a repeat customer means anything think again. If you think being a current customer means anything, think again. I will NEVER EVER use these guys again.
Oh by the way I went, after leaving there, to American Home Furnishings and got the bedroom group including a few more things. Sure I spent $2600 which to me was cheap AND they are going to deliver the furniture in 2 days... On Sunday... And gave me EXCEPTIONAL service. So please, do NOT use Aaron. Not because of my experience. Because it is clear... The owner's passion is gone. They hire people who should be perpetually unemployed and they really don't want your money. VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLARS!!!! The rep who needs to be fired is "Ramone" and guess what... This guy is the MANAGER!
Oh yeah the post under mine... Rebecca... She had the same experience so it looks like they really don't care and want you to jump thru hoops until they LISTEN TO THEIR CUSTOMERS and fix it. You guys at Aaron think we are lying? You think we should send you emails? No... Wait... I have a better solution... I'll shop elsewhere and enjoy watching you close your doors. That's much more satisfying.

Nope. They make me feel like a thief, that is when I finally get a callback. I have spoken with manager John and associates James, Ruben and Hollis.

I can afford my payments just fine, that's not the problem. The problem is that my pay day has completely changed and I just needed 1 payment period to work around the new schedule.
I am a full-time working single mother with two teenage girls and I take care of business. I never in my life have had a manager talk to me the way JR did. JR was making fun of the fact that I needed to split my payment just for 1 month. Needless to say on Wednesday I am having them come and pick everything up. I will never do business with Aaron's again. It is insulting to have management tell me what I can and can't afford. As I was trying to explain my situation he laughed at me, he then started yelling at me, and he also threatened me.

I have been dealing with the Aaron's in Fresno. I do monthly leases and this is my second month. I requested to swap out the furniture and placed an order almost 2 weeks ago. I scheduled a delivery date. 4 days prior to my delivery date, I called the store and asked if my furniture could be delivered before 3pm on the delivery date. I was assured that my request would be handled. I was making plans to go out of town so I called and confirmed the next day and the day after. On the day of my delivery, the employee I was dealing with had an off and the manager took a 5 hour lunch break. Another employee said that my furniture would be delivered between 1-6pm and they could do nothing to change that.
After 6pm, I tried calling the store since I didn't get my delivery and the employee, Evan, kept putting me on hold. While he kept putting me on hold, I reached the store. There was no manager there and only one employee. Said employee, Steven, said it was his first day in this branch yet he had no login information or phone numbers for his manager or driver. Since it was closing time, he hoaxed a call to himself telling me it’s the driver and he is at my residence. I leave the store and reach my apartment to see NO Aaron's truck. I confirmed with my neighbors and they said that no Aaron's truck had entered the complex.
Currently, it is 730pm on the delivery date that was set 2 weeks ago and I still have not get the stuff that I am paying for.

The unit resets itself. No matter where you try to set the temps it reverts and does its own temp thing. I told them month after I had it that there was a problem with the temps of the unit. They told me to do this and that - I did, but still not working right. Now it's so bad that I had to remove everything from it. It is not usable. Went to the store to talk to them and was treated rather rudely. But told that they would have someone out by Monday to fix it. It is now 2 weeks later and NO ONE HAS BEEN OUT TO LOOK AT IT.
I called the store and was told "Oh {manager-not mentioning names} didn't tell you or call you before she left." I said no. And she went on to tell me that the manager was on vacation and wouldn't be back until around the 7th of July... Then she said hold on a minute. Almost 16 mins. later a guy picks up and says he can come out this Friday and pick it up. Mind you this is Monday and I was supposed to have in home repair service. He got ruder and ruder not caring that I had already lost my whole month's groceries and was paying for a unit that did not work!! He stated they were working short handed and that was the soonest they could get someone out but they would bring one for us to use meanwhile and when the manager got back we would probably get a new unit.
Meanwhile, we have lost all our food and cannot afford to replace it... And have no way to store food even if we could. I am disabled with MS, Fibro, Diabetes. I take meds that have to be kept refrigerated. They just don't care. I am done with this store. I used to think the manager at this store was caring and actually looking out for me, but I was wrong and fooled. They don't care about anyone!!

After doing business with Aaron's the last year has been awful. I was set up for auto withdrawal but this didn't stop them from calling my job and cellphone asking for payment and for me to come into the store. The purpose of autopay was to avoid a long trip from work so with each call I reminded them it was an auto withdrawal process. Finally after the manager broke his word I terminated my account.

They sent an employee over to my residence to compensate the TVs I was leasing until I make 18 and then employee that they sent over while he was in my bedroom stole my cell phone. Yes. He took my phone my personal property out of my residence. Spoke to management. Management treated me like **. They also made up lies saying that the TVs that they confiscated were now broken which they were not.
I confronted the employee who came to my house and you said there was a ** eating grin saying "now why would I do that to you." Spoke to Regional management.

We've been customers at Aaron's since 2010. We're appalled at the harassing calls. The same afternoon or a couple days after making payments, we get the same call: "This is (Jimmy, Chance or whoever's turn it is to call) at Aaron's. Please remind Mr. ** to get his payment in today before 6pm. Then, we get calls from our son who is active duty military, "Please tell Aaron's to stop calling me about your bill!" Our son was listed as a reference on an old agreement. When he joined the military, we asked that his number be removed. They continually promise to never call him again but they LIE. I asked for a payment schedule every month since December. It's now May & have yet to receive it. They called stating they were modifying our agreements & we were sick when we saw they'd started our balance completely over from 0! This after having paid since Oct.2016...
They used to send a letter on occasion about payment due dates but we haven't received anything except phone call after phone call since around August 2016. We're refusing to return our items because we've been paying on them for so long. I ordered a brand new mattress but when I investigated the paperwork, it says "used". I complained & was told, "It's all good, we bake them at 175 for 4 hours to kill any bedbugs." BEDBUGS??? Then I get on the laptop we also leased and Aaron's ads pop up on every single screen. I completely reset the laptop & wiped all preset applications and started over from scratch. Finally, not being stalked by Aaron's via internet. My husband leased a tv (advertised as 2 for 1 ) on Black Friday. Yep... You guessed it, we're being charged $106 a month for EACH tv.
Our 1st purchase from them was a tv & living room set that we were extremely happy with & I got a laptop and stove in 2015 that was satisfactory all the way around. We purchased a clothes dryer also and when it was paid off in 2016, that's when they began the harassment. Calling & coming to our home to get us to buy more & making promises that have NOT been kept. "I'll get it to you 1/2 price, We'll take $50 off..." None of which happened when I looked at their "modified" agreement! Also, found it infuriating that every time I went to make a payment in cash I was told the printer was out of ink or the system was lagging and my husband could come in the next day for the receipts. The next day, no payment receipts could be produced & the sales associate was "in the field" that handled the transactions.
They communicate by phone with them when they're out picking up furniture "in the field" but amazingly unable to reach them when we asked for our receipts! We don't have a checking account so my husband demands a hand written receipt. The manager came & took our dinner table & chairs. He said the handwritten receipts were worthless and that employee no longer works at Aaron's. We saw that employee & he said he quit because too many people (including friends) he'd recommended to Aaron's got ripped off, harassed and he caught the blame, lost friends and was sick & tired of getting cursed out. If customers weren't cursing him out, the manager was. I don't believe it's entirely the store manager that has created the chaos. I believe the Corporation itself puts demands on management and that's their way out of being sued. They turn over store managers like hotcakes.

Recently, my 17 yr old dryer caught fire and we had to replace it. My husband and I decided to get a matching set from Aaron's, where we have purchased several item in the past. The manager, Nestor has always been helpful. We decided on a pre-leased set that was in fairly new condition. A week later, my husband went to wash his clothes and notices baby cockroaches in the washer basket. We pull out the washer and noticed that there were several more newly hatched roaches inside and around the machine.
My husband called Aaron's the next day and the manager, Nestor immediately apologizes and said that even though they have Orkin treat all the repossessed appliances, the roaches may have gotten in from the delivery truck. He sent Orkin out the next day. Orkin gave my house a full treatment but my family still discarded half the items in my kitchen and pantry (pots and Tupperware) rendering the area Spartan. This is how much we do not want to have an infestation. So far, I have seen a couple of babies as well as a full grown roach in my kitchen. Orkin is scheduled to come out again in a week. While I do appreciate Aaron's responding to our problem quickly, I do not appreciate having my home exposed to cockroaches. Spend the extra money and buy elsewhere.

I rent/purchased a "QUEEN" pillow top mattress/Bed from Aaron's Rents in DeLand, Florida. When they delivered it we saw it was small. Like really small in comparison to the bed we had just gotten rid of. We called them to explain our opinion that this bed was definitely not a "QUEEN" Bed. So they sent some guys here and RELUCTANTLY delivered to us a new "QUEEN" pillowtop mattress bed. It sucks. But besides that we ended up paying it off after 12 months nearly $2,000. We went and got new "QUEEN" sheets. They didn't fit. Obviously...
So we called them. They assured us it is what we ordered. A "QUEEN" bed. Those sheets we returned and got another set. Those didn't fit. So we ended up very discouraged and constantly having to pull the fitted sheet corners over the bed because they would never tuck well and the bed always will have sheet bunched up in the bed. I argued with these **. Now that we have paid the damn thing off. I finally found a website that gives standard mattress measurements. The damn bed we have is 54" x 74" which is a full. No damn wonder we could never get comfortable and now sleep in separate damn rooms. A "QUEEN" is 60" x 80".
I want to know what I can do about this. In addition to filing complaints here and every damn where I can, I also will be contacting the CPA (Consumer Protection Agency) and BBB (Better Business Bureau). I have had it with these people doing this. How many other people has this happened to... I told them back then that the measurements were. They guaranteed me over and over that what I received was a damn QUEEN bed. LIES. DECEPTION. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AARON'S RENTS.

Best thing they automatically take payment out of my benefits thus relieving me of the pressure to remind myself to pay them. Staff and management were very nice. Only problem I have is the prices. I have to pay $2,500 for a $800 TV. But when you don't have $800 to pay upfront this is the way it has to be done. Rent A Center did this practice and they were sued by state's attorney general.

When I called the store four months ago, the manager got thunderous and belligerent and told me, "We don't take beds that are infected with bed bugs back." I said, "This is a rent to own. You brought the bed here. You are supposed to pick it up at the customer's request." He replied by saying, "If you don't pay it to us going to hurt your credit."
I got very ill after that, so I waited because I really did not know what else to do. A friend of mines told me about BBB, but before I called BBB, I gave Aaron's another chance to treat me right. I called them March 10, and they said they would pick the bed up March 13th which was Monday. As soon as I opened the door to let the delivery man in the first thing that came out of his mouth is, "Why do you want to return the bed back." I thought that was very odd. When they got upstairs, I asked them "where are the papers for me to sign to release the furniture." They said that their boss did not give them any papers to sign.
Then they went into they bedroom and stayed there for about ten minutes before they yelled out "hey miss you got bedbugs. Can you come here." After that, they left.

So I schedule for them to come pick it up. Thursday after 3. Well that Thursday arrived and apparently something happened with their driver. So reschedule for the next morning.

Now I don't know where Aaron's found these clever guys but I'm more than certain that when they pick up or drop off a product they are to call the customer to let them know that they will be there in a certain amount of time. Well that didn't happen. So it has to get rescheduled. AGAIN. Messing with everyone else's schedule and life because they don't have theirs together.

I advised my friend to return everything they ever got from this company and never do business with them ever again. No matter how good the deal looks or how much you may want things from them, doing business with them is not in your best interest.
They represent they are selling or renting things with such statements as RENT TO OWN when in fact they are leasing you items at above retail price and then if you do the math they are charging you 50% interest monthly. 1/2 your payment goes for lease and the other half equity that is totally lost if you return the items. They don't take into consideration wear and tear on any item so it will always lead to an argument. And if you want their rude employees showing up at your door every Sunday to harass you, that is exactly what you will get! A class action suit would shut them down and they are very deserving of such action.

My husband was trying to sleep after his surgery... 8 that night the phone starts ringing and didn't stop until he was awake. At this point I was ready to take the washing machine back to them in pieces.
So the next day I used my bill and grocery money to just pay them off. That was also a joke because I ended up paying more than what I was told was due two months ago after paying more than my minimum payments. But I just wanted to be done with them. They are a fraud. I never had this problem with Rent-A-Center. And they had the nerve to send me a 50$ coupon with my ownership papers!!! I will NEVER do business with this company again!!! The store is located in Sayre Pa.

I've rented with Aaron's for years now. Last May when I went to make my final payment for my PS4 and 38" smart TV, I was greeted like usual. My friend was with me and was interested in dressers for her room and a 48 inch smart TV. She didn't have funds on her that day so the sales rep insisted that if I do the lease under my name I can use my "last payment" for my merchandise for her down payment. They can "waive" my last payment since I've been a long-time customer. I felt great because I was recognized as a long-term customer and I fell for it.
My friend fell behind on her payments. Now the store manager is harassing me, literally sending me pictures of threats to send me to jail for class B & C felonies. Nonstop phone calls, calling my work place, leaving notes everywhere from my car window to my garage door. It's defamation of character and I will take the store manager and Aaron's as a whole, if they don't stop with the harassing messages, to court. She knows good and well that the merchandise is not mine. I've paid $300 out of my own pocket because I was tired of the phone calls and I can't seem to reach my friend anymore.

They were good when over time I got things no they talk to me like I stupid and telling me they are taking me to court. They asked me why we ruined the queen bed and why I removed the cover sheet. I have kids I know it looks bad. I had a few things from them over time. I had to return everything was either chipped or broken. Now they're saying I'm stealing a blue-ray player I don't have. I gave to the delivery guy's and the boss never went with them to my house and my husband said he wanted it but that was not my words. I know what I did. I handed it over.
So they're trying to get us for two things. I'm on disability and ssi messed my check up for two months so it's trying to get fixed. They're calling me a liar. I told them I can pay on the first. I've missed two months and said I can fix on the first. They don't care they just want to throw a disabled person in jail. I don't know what to tell them about the blue-ray I told them come check my house. They said I supposedly sold it. I never sold in my life and I'm not stupid to sell anything. I know the agreement. I'm not dumb. If I was stealing I wouldn't answer my phone or I wouldn't bother at all. They told me I'm being recorded. I told them go head. I keep telling them I can pay the first but they want it now.

I have been paying for a couch and a love seat for a year and four months now. I asked the company to give me a contract so I can see what their policies are. The girl on the phone told me they can't send that via pdf file to my email. That I have to come to the store in person. I was not given a valid contract when I purchased my items. The men that dropped off the furniture in my house just told me to sign the device that I received it. Every month I make a payment of $96 and on time with the exception of one month. I asked for a copy of an invoice so that I can see how many payments I have left. Once again, the woman at the office told me over the phone that I have to come to their facility to get that. She can't send it via email or to my account online.
Ridiculous and bad customer service. I will not be renting from Aaron's again in the future. Poor customer service and I am not confident in the way they do their business. I will not be recommending this company to any of my friends or family. They are too overrated and want to overcharge you with interest rates even if you miss one payment because of a problem that could occur towards anyone. We are located in Jacksonville, NC

I have 2 orders I am paying on. The 1st is a set of bunk beds that have had to be repaired 4 times then replaced. The Boards fell out and injured my grandchildren. They gave me the run around and treated me like trash. I have had to have my fridge worked on the handle has come on 3 times the ice maker quit working blah blah blah. So they finally gave me a price reduction on my payoff. Still no apology. Now the fridge is leaking water the ice maker doesn't dispense and the handle is loose again. I complained to corporate due to the poor customer service I get every time I call.

I can't believe some of these complaints about Aaron. I have been a customer for a long time. I would recommend my store to anyone. I have never been called by them and when I call they know me. And we joke and laugh. They are very polite. I have gone in and they have given me the special offers. I'm sorry everyone can't have my Aaron. I LOVE MY AARON. They are the best. Will I rent again probably. If they get something I like and if I find something online and they don't have it they get it. I found a bedroom suite that I wanted. They didn't have it but they ordered it for me. So sorry about you guys and your luck cause Grove store is the best by far.

I currently have 2 accounts with Aaron's that I've had for a year now. They harass their customers. They call me incessantly if I'm even two days late. What's worse is I've told them repeatedly that I work the same hours they're open and they still call my phone 3-4 times in a row before even leaving one message. Then when I call them back, their first question is have I moved. I can't wait to pay them off. I'll take my business elsewhere.

Aaron reps are stalkers. I been renting from Aaron over a year, my payment is 208.00 monthly (too high). After the first 6 months of renting with them always paid my bill on time. A personal matter came up, so I paid my bill late after six months & never went into the next month. They showed up at my door which I just owned the 70 of the 208.00. Now today is Jan. 27, 2017. My bill was due on the 15th. I paid all but 57 of my bill & told them I will paid it on the 28th. They still called me on the 25, 26, 27. Like I said I never let payments go in the next month. I always let them know if I will be late. It to the point now. I don't want this cheap overpriced furniture. I have until Nov. 2017 to pay this rental agreement off but calling me all the time when I just spoke with them about when I can make a payment, is very stressful. I'm sure they have customers that don't pay them at all. I will NEVER NEVER GET ANYTHING FROM AARON'S AGAIN...

I'm one year into a 2-year lease of renting-to-own a living room set from the Aaron's on Miami Boulevard in Durham, and I couldn't be happier with the company. Not only did the furniture come in excellent condition, there have been no surprises with my monthly billing, and Aaron's has been completely understanding and patient when unforeseen financial issues caused me to fall behind in payments a couple months. I have nothing but good things to say about Aaron's, and I highly recommend them to anyone.

I have been a long time customer of Aaron's. Typically they have been great, but however with this particular situation they weren't. I deal with the store located in Arab, AL. We got a king size bedroom set and paid on it for months. We got into a financial struggle and informed them that we needed to return the stuff. The Mgr worked with our payment a little and we tried to work with it, however things continued to get worse financially and we tried to return it again and the Mgrs and the District Mgr got an attitude with us and made us feel bad for trying to keep ourselves above water by lowering our bills. Like I said I have been a long time customer of this Aaron's, but not anymore, not after this particular incident of embarrassing us for trying to do better. I'm very grateful that they did try to work with us, but the attitudes that we got just for trying to return merchandise as opposed to waiting and having them "repo" it was unacceptable.

The interest that they make on a lease is insane!! I am almost a proud owner of my bed and I don't want to even mention how much of the money I've paid to own it. Regardless, there have been some bumps along the way, and I've reached out to them numerous times to speak with the manager. I NEVER GET A CALL BACK!! Long story short, I filled out a survey that was sent to me via email and expressed my disappointment. I am hoping that reaching out to corporate will give me some sort of response. I have to say I have NEVER seen so many negative feedback on one company. One would think that they'd try to rectify it, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

But when it came time to return it because we got a better deal on buying one. They gave us the run around on returning a payment that was not even due. We always got that the manager was in a meeting or out of the store. That someone would call us. That never happened, nobody could help us. They even said they sent it in for a review.

My daughter and two children moved in with me to help her out. She rented a tv and stand. I had rented two bunk beds for the children. I had rented in the past for nearly 4 years. All other items had been paid, not one single late payment. After a dispute with my daughter over the new (4 week) relationship with new guy, she abruptly decided to move out. Daughter a hot head and breaks things when mad, as children will sometimes still be children. At any rate, I felt it best to have police present when she gathered her things. This was due to her kicking in 2 entry doors instead of using her key. Officer could only be present for 1 trip. The remaining items which included her tv and stand were still here. Officer suggested putting items outside front door. She agreed she would be right back to gather remaining things.
Her trip back she gathered remaining things but left tv and stand outside front door (at least I think the tv). When I looked out, she had all other things gone and only stand remained. I called local police station to see if I needed to file a report just in case it had been stolen or if maybe I needed to bring them back inside. They said no, leave them there per her agreement. Next morning, 6 minutes after local store opened, I call the manager. This store is in CLINTON, IA. Manager is DON. What a piece of work this guy is. I did a courtesy call to have him at least retrieve what was there. I told Don the circumstance, he proceeded to tell me I was lying and inform me I put HIM in a bad situation. I told him police informed me (and gave their names to him to verify story) to leave them there and my daughter said if I touched them she would have me arrested for theft.
I tried to do the right thing. Still do not know if daughter took 55" tv or whether she claims it stolen. All I know is the stand is all that remained. It Sat outside front door in very cold weather for 2 days before they showed up to get it. I had even called their customer service hotline and to this date have not been called back. In the process of dealing with this manager, he informs me I need to return my merchandise as well (which was paid well in advance), before someone "steals it out of my house". When I inquired about the advance payment I had made and I wanted refunded for it... WELL... Now the trouble starts. They do NOT do refunds. WHAT!!! You tell me I have to return items I have paid in advance for, I do, and now you can't give me back the money I paid in advance. What the heck!! Bad thing is, I truly enjoy the other PROFESSIONAL members of their staff. THIS manager is a JOKE...

I ordered furniture online with the promotion of having the first payment be only $25 for the first 30 days. This was a bait and switch technique and my furniture wasn't delivered for 2 weeks and less than 3 weeks of having the furniture, I was already being harassed by phone to make a payment because it was late. I only had the furniture 2 weeks when the next payment came due, not the 30 days that was promised online. Upon the phone call that I got, Tom from Aaron's here in Van Buren, Arkansas escalated the situation, never apologized or tried to make it right and said if I changed my payment to match when I had received the furniture, that I would have to make a payment and a half on the 1st which basically would not be any kind of deal at all because that would be full price from the time that the furniture was actually delivered.
Also he argued, cut me off, did not listen and confused to say "Well you got it started for $25 didn't you", as if that even happened and if they had honored the original first month for $25, still does not give them the right to treat anyone the way Tom treated me resulting in me talking to his manager about retraining Tom on customer service. Not to mention the furniture that I received was the most poor quality furniture I had ever seen and poorly put together. I deal with a headboard swaying back and forth every night knocking into my wall and knocking stuff off of it with just getting into the bed or barely shifting around. I am the only one in the bed.
I was on the fence of keeping the furniture because of the poor quality but now that I find that I was lied to and bait and switched as well as argued with and treated poorly over the phone, I will now be returning the furniture come income tax and buying my furniture at Sofa City where I have bought way better quality furniture and have had an extremely positive experience with buying furniture with in the past.

As of today 11/08/2016 I owe $183.10, last payment was 11/03/2016. I called my bank and they say my last payment was on 11/07/2016 for the amount of $80.98. But seven days after I got the letter dated 11/15/2016 it says the same thing and that I have to pay $183.10 by the 1st. I have always paid on the 3rd because of my disability status. They know that I'm on. I called yesterday to pay it off and I now have the extra $100.00 added because they did it on the first, not the regular scheduled payment date the 3rd, basically gouging me. And after seeing other posts about this company I'm not the only one.

I have overpaid for this bed but to tack on another $100.00 for no other reason but to steal from me and other people. I paid yesterday as I have been the whole time and spoke to a great guy, Martin.
I asked what is happening, how come I can't pay the $183.10 on my regular pay day? And if my last payment according to them was on 11/03/2016 but Wells Fargo Bank has it recorded as 11/07/2016 for the amount of $80.98, seems too close to them flat out stealing from me. Or please tell me this is okay to do and I won't pursue further action. Thank you for helping me and all the people this company has stolen from.
