    One man told me if I came up with $63 and some change that I would be okay with my payment, the next day another gentleman called me and told me, "No, I'm not going to let you have your contract anymore." Mind you, I've never been late, and paid almost $800 into two systems. These guys are a rip off and I'll never ever go through them ever again!! And they are very rude! One gentleman says one thing while the other says another, you can't go and do that! I should of listened to people when they told me to never go through you guys because you're trouble and a rip off, here soon you will be going out of business because of ripping people off and how rude your business manners are and you can't keep your word.

    I did business with the Rent-A-Center in BIG STONE GAP VA for years. That QUICKLY came to a screeching stop when I had some $ issues, job and health life. There were times when I have gotten behind but I always caught up a communicated via text so I would have a record of it but like most job markets they were going through employees like a revolving door. I do not mind for someone to call and leave a message asking for me to call them and file money however when a business calls entails friends or family members that you owe money, your ex far behind, they're going to do XYZ to you it's unprofessional I'm called for, not to mention privacy violations and other lines that they lines that they crossed.

    I did leave a negative review on their website after this happening several times. I also contacted their corporate office who never contacted me back because their district manager was told one story and never spoke with the customer to see what the real deal is and again last week and today I had family in store where they continue to put out information about an alleged account. So as a loyal customer for years I'm a pulled by this behavior. As far as the merchandise it has been reliable but with any rental company the price is you're going to pay so if you have the option to use Lowe's or credit card so you can pay it off I would choose that.

    I paid for a freezer at the Rent-A-Center located at 1380 S. Providence Center Drive Utah for delivery in the morning of 4/9/25. At 11.30 I called the store and was told that the driver would pick it up at 1.30 PM and it would arrive at my home by 2.30. At 2.30 I was told it was 20 minutes out. Again at 3.52, 4.00, 5.09, 5.29. Turns out it never left the store. As all my food for our trip was defrosting we had no choice but to go to Walmart and buy a freezer. This is not convenient since we are on vacation and now have to ship it home.

    Everything was fine until I had to switch stores due to the hurricane. The girl Taylor helped me when I first purchased my couch, she was great. The movers made a mark on the couch when it was getting moved in, no biggie, said they’d get it fixed up, well after weeks to begin with of waiting to get a call back from this new manager Brandon I finally did, I asked him what we were going to do and explain the whole situation with the marks that happened on the couch getting moved in.

    I was on the phone with this man for 45 minutes. Well we finally came to an agreement and he said that he would let me pay 300 to my couch and it would pay it off to him and we’d call it even well. I told him I would not have the money until taxes and he said that’s fine. Just keep making payments. Well I call when I got my taxes ready to pay the 300 and he has no idea what I was talking about and is blankly lying, telling me that he never said that. I called corporate and I’m still waiting on a phone call two weeks later. This is ridiculous. I will NEVER USE RENT A CENTER AGAIN.

    Rent a Center has been banging on my door for two weeks every day because of my roommate's nonpayment. As someone that works nights and has PTSD this affects me negatively. The manager was unwilling to help me by coming at a later time in the day. It’s so unprofessional as a business to be banging on someone’s door every single freaking day.

    I see that the company overall has a low rating. I want to start by saying that almost all of the local to your area RAC stores are franchised. I would like to speak specifically about store number 01660 in Ionia, Mi. From the Amazing Store Manager Beth, The First Assistant Jeremy, the Sales team and the delivery guys Lars and Marcus, all of my interactions have been awesome. When the TV I was renting had some minor issues Beth personally CSM to Deliver another TV and make sure it worked before they left my apartment. No one at this store is above making their customers happy which is a rare treat these days.

    A competitor I rented from sold me a “Gaming Computer” that barely played Microsoft solitaire and told me not to put the games I play on it as it couldn’t handle it. When they had to refresh Windows on because it ran out of space and was trash so for those who think they charge too much keep in mind most of us are rebuilding our credit.

    When I needed a queen bed Jeremy the assistant manager came with delivery guy Marcus and personally set up my bed! On the couple of times I needed an emergency flex on my payment the employees worked either me to get back on track and always go above my expectations. All of the employees are topnotch. All employees were hand picked by Beth for their experience and excellent customer service skills. I have bought multiple products here and honestly I needed to furnish my apartment I would recommend this store to anyone in the area.

    Hopefully this will help them to improve and make different choices on training or so!!! If I could get RAC no stars or negative feedback I would have done. Terrible issues in the website as try to make payments glitch on the website but it gets pretty soon fix if I complain about it as I call them. Then the representative yells at me and hangs up on me on top of the process. That is unfairness plus last payment my son called and pay them, ten minutes later call from them to collect payment already been process. Seems like lack of coordination and communication and if was only technical issues. They could at least acknowledged and apologize for these issues but they frustrated on you and give this horrible energy and tones yelling to you????

    I’m planning in pay early and NEVER NEVER EVER get another lease with them. Awful service this lease. I used this before to pay as cash. Never happened this horrific experience till now. Lesson learn. RAC is no longer in my list of favorites. They just lost a returning customer that has made completion on her lease three and six months average. If that was not enough to be treated as good client I see that would be great win to take my business somewhere else if I could needed in the future.

Then the employees call her dad wants him to tell her. Talks very ugle. Next she called her mother - which they don't have my phone number. I don't know how they got my number. Everyday they do this - in which they know when she is going to pay. They have called another girl and ask about my daughter's account and then they call my daughter and ask her about the other girl's account.

    I previously purchased a large sectional sofa with the intention of paying it off 6 months same as cash, which put me way ahead on my payments. I then determined that I was moving and would not be able to accommodate such a large sofa. When I returned the sofa Rent-A-Center told me I had an $850 credit due to having paid so far ahead, which I was assured I could use toward purchasing a smaller sofa to accommodate my new apartment. When I attempted to have the credit applied to a new sofa, I was told that I could only use a portion (about $300) toward the new purchase. In other words, I'm just out the $850 unless I make multiple purchases of their overpriced merchandise.

    Everything they sell is overpriced to begin with. For comparison, the same sofa off the Ashley website is $699.99 (cash price) compared to Rent-A-Center $1,172.07 (same as cash price). They completely take advantage of people who cannot otherwise purchase furniture outright. I will NEVER buy from them again and would urge anyone else not to either. I have no receipt to provide, as I did not complete the purchase of the new sofa.

    Today being 12/21/2024, I received a call from the Saratoga NY Rent a Center. I have 2 items on my account currently. My Bf pays one. I pay the other. For over 8 or 9 years I've used this store. I've paid numerous items off. My payment is one day late. My Bf's was 6. I was asking that my bf pay his portion today, and for a extension for my payment until the 30th because of the holiday. Mind you, I have 4 biological children and 2 adopted children that I am providing Christmas for. NICK got on the phone, and proceeded to tell me he can't take partial payment (my bf's) and he can't allow me to bring my portion up to date on the 30th.

    I'm on a biweekly payment...he wouldn't accept my bf's payment or give me a monthly option for this month. He then proceeded to threaten me that he would come take all of it today...before Christmas. Shaking me down like a wannabe loan shark. To the point telling me I have no standing with the store because it was my ex-husband's money that paid for the previous items I purchased. Referencing that it didn't count because I'm divorced now!! I have never, in my life spoken to a customer service associate that 1. Spoke to anyone like that, and 2. Stabbed their customers with personal information regarding their lives!! It's disgusting.

    Hello, I wouldn’t recommend Rent-A-Center to anybody. They’re actually stealing from me right now that you owe me $500 they won’t pay me in cash, but the store manager at the RENT A CENTER I’m dealing with in Loveland Colorado says that I’m behind on my payments. Well, I’ve been currently the past four months and yet she’s saying that she cannot give me my $500 from the previous agreement until we start a new agreement, but she will not let me start a new agreement at all so technically they’re stealing $500 from me and this store manager's name is Bianca. The whole store in Loveland, Colorado do not go to because they will lie to you.

    They harass you and then when it’s your turn, they actually get something from them. They don’t do anything about it. I called the hotline for service three different times. No one called back. I called back and they can’t find even the reference number that they gave me so I would not recommend RENT A CENTER to anybody and hopefully the store shuts down.

    I was okay with Rent A Center until the 6th week of having their product. I pay auto pay and have paid on time if not later on in the day via internet payment when my merchandise was due payment. Today my auto payment did not go through so as soon as I woke up I paid it online. Within 15 of me paying, there was someone at my door saying I did not pay. How dare someone come to my door the same day that my payment is due and didn't give a customer until end of business day to pay their bill.

    The manager was not accommodating at all when it came to at least pushing back one week of payment as a compromise for the inconvenience of someone basically showing up to my door before 12 in the afternoon that same day. I asked if they could confirm a pickup time for the product on the 25 of July because I will not do business with a company that treats their customers this way, especially when I have always paid on time. I don't need that headache and will go with another company as the equipment for work purposes.

    This is specifically for the W Tropicana Ave in Las Vegas. Don't even bother trying to talk to them because they will just talk on top of you. I have asked to go on a monthly system and was still refused to go on it even though I was caught up. Whenever I spoke to someone, they would just speak over me. They should not be allowed to be in business to be honest. If I knew they would harass my family and me every single time they don't get a payment after a day (maybe less), then it was bad of me to choose to place. WARNING. DO NOT COME HERE! You want a furniture? Go to Ashley Furniture or some other place. Spend your hard earn money somewhere else. I am going to fight for this but I'm not sure how many times they have been able to provide any sort of refund with the amount we've already paid for. If I could give this zero stars, I absolutely would!

Every time I make a payment I feel like I'm being lied to and charged extra. I always ask what my new balance is, and the next time I make a payment it's magically higher than it was previously. I am furious and once I'm paid off I WILL NEVER SHOP WITH THIS LOCATION AGAIN

    I applied for a tv on their website, was approved, paid the first weeks payment online, including any discounts provided and set up autopay. Then I get a call from a local store manager who says the online set up is only a deposit and they still need a copy of my driver's license, 1 referral and my bank information (Which I already entered online). My spouse and I get to the retail location and the store manager says they don't verify orders from the information entered online and hands me a blank application. Then he says there is $100 deposit required for all electronics, which is not mentioned anywhere on the website. He was borderline rude and had no customer service skills. The store was empty and he's walking back and forth while talking to me. This was the worse sales and service I have ever experienced.

One of the ladies put her hands over the doorbell camera beating on the door, I open the door there demanding money and I’m not leaving until I get money or product or I’m turning you in for theft of property. Which I told them I will return there item one item only on Monday morning. I had to give them money before they would even leave my mother door . They were really very unprofessional with attitude like they were handling me. So I hope anyone think very carefully before purchasing from them.

    Decided to buy a washer dryer and couch from store off galloway in mesquite tx. Maria/Erin are so called managers. Mind you these were brand new out of the box front loader machines. Called around march stating dryer is taking a long time to dry clothes and washer won't drain properly - after calling every week for almost 2 months they send this creepy guy out who argued with some woman on the phone the entire time about a birthday party - he fixed nothing and left. Called again every day for about a week and I kept saying I would get a call back...NOTHING!! For weeks.

    Finally get Erin - kept telling me she would call me back and call me back and call me back and again nothing. So I get mad and upset and call demanding to speak to someone because I'm paying 400 a month for things that aren't getting fixed - instead of listening to my frustrations she hangs up on me and won't answer when I call back. Fast forward to yesterday - I call to tell them to come pick them up and I hear. Ok sure no problem be there today.

    Well that day comes and goes and guess what, they didn't. I GOT NO PHONE CALLS. So I called to have them picked up again no one answers. But I've had three calls this morning wondering when they can come by and pick them up. I'm renting well over 5k from these people and they can't take the time do give a call back and communicate???? They are super quick to call and get payment - but won't call you when something goes wrong --and SUPER QUICK to call you back when they wanna pick up their stuff. Make that make sense to me????

    I have forwarded a complaint to the corporate office in Texas regarding the store manager and the behavior that is pure veiled hostility. This manager has power trip issues and stated many times that she is the only person that approved the contract and she can cancel it based on her own personal feelings. She felt as if she had been cut off when she actually interrupted the question I was asking and began answering it rigid and like mental problems live in her soul. She is a punisher and may abuse indiscriminately if unchecked. I am glad that I can tell someone and I won’t do business with a company that does not see they could be employing a subtle abuser. They probably sell your information and steal payment data as well she probably would have sent me dirty furniture and a crew of thieves to deliver the goods and come back and rob me later.

    My husband and I went into Rent-A-Center on Little Road in Port Richey Florida on a Wednesday. We were looking for a mattress. Absolutely requested that it be brand new. I've never requested any used items from Rent-A-Center. If I am paying to purchase an item I absolutely want it brand new especially a mattress. I would not want to be lying on a used mattress with somebody else's bodily fluids, dead skin cells, dust mites or whatever else it may be. The manager Jorge told my husband to lay on a few of the mattresses and see which ones he liked in the showroom. My husband proceeded to explain what mattress he liked. Again we requested a brand new mattress.

    Today we received a delivery of the mattress not in plastic covered with stains not to mention the blood stain on the mattress and was told by the delivery men that there was just service dust on the mattress. I foolishly trusted these men and signed an agreement that stated we were receiving a used mattress. The agreement was signed before they brought the mattress up to me.

    After they left I walked into my bedroom to see the mattress covered in stains, black marks, blood stains, dust and whatever else maybe on this used disgusting mattress. I proceeded to call the store and spoke with Jorge and said how absolutely disgusting infuriated I was that he delivered a used mattress to me when my husband and I specifically requested a brand new mattress. His reply to me was no, "I told you it was used and you said it was okay." Jorge is a complete liar and I called him out stating that he was a liar coz never have I ever in my history of renting from Rent-A-Center have I ever accepted a used item. If I'm paying for something I want my merchandise brand new. This man proceeded to call me a liar by saying I allowed for a used mattress which is absolutely ridiculous.

    OVERVIEW: I ordered an electric bike online on Christmas Eve. I didn't get anything almost 6 weeks and when I got it home and unboxed it, it was the wrong bike. So I called to let them and I was disappointed with their response. The first time I called I was told that they ordered the bike that I ask for (suggesting maybe I gave them the wrong model number) but they would reorder the bike.

    After a few days of not hearing back from them I decided to call again. But first I called a different Rent A Center in my area and ask if the bike I was wanting was available in stock and the guy looked it up in the system and said it was available. So I made the call. Jason, the store manager, answered the phone. He told me that the bike I requested and the bike I got instead had the same model number and that he was afraid that if they ordered the bike again, that they would get the same results. So I suggested ordering the bike until they did get the correct bike.

    I feel like a simple phone call or a post it note on the order would've easily solved the problem of not getting the wrong bike a second time but what do I know. I'm sure it's so much more difficult than that. He ask if I would like a refund for my deposit and he offered me a different bike which I didn't want. I refused the refund as well. I just want the bike that I know is available for order without any issue. I called their customer service number and explained the situation and I'm now waiting to hear from a district manager but it's going on 3 days and no word yet.

    I signed up online and received instant approval for a Sofa and Loveseat set. I followed the guidelines on the website as well as the emails sent. I signed an agreement and I scheduled my delivery. I was told if I had any questions, I should reach out to my local store. But since everything had been outlined in the agreement, I had no questions.

    On the delivery day I decided to call to confirm the delivery because I was moving my old sofa out. Right away the woman said she could not find my order. Red flag #1. She then tells me she sees my order but doesn’t have the product but will call another store to see if they have it in stock. She was very helpful and kind. She said she would call me back in 20 minutes. I waited an hour figuring she was busy and called her. Her demeanor had changed. She casually told me that my agreement had been cancelled and my down payment had been refunded.

    I ask why I was not informed and she said, “I have no idea ma’am, what do you want me to say” She then told me to come to the store with my info and paystubs and she would be able to do an agreement. I said I had done everything online already and she said she needed to redo it in person. I’m not sure but I assume this benefited her vs an online order. It was so disappointing as I expected my furniture that day and now I’m being told I have to start the process over again and I could probably get delivery within two weeks. On my agreement it was to be delivered within 2 days.

    They just want to get you in the store to upsell you. I ended up buying the set from a furniture store ( my credit is bad so a family member helped me out with the credit). It was 1400. Had I rented it, I would have paid 2800. Double the retail cost. These types of businesses prey on people who have bad credit. Unfortunately due to divorce my credit took a big hit since I was left with a large amount of debt being a co-signer for my ex. Thankful for my family for helping me out and now I am paying 0% interest for 6 months. If you have bad credit, find any other way than using this business. I’m ashamed I didn’t know better.

    I have a contract for three different furniture items. I pay every two weeks. I was told they're locally owned. There was no one to speak to other than one Manager when I needed receipts for my payments and information regarding my payments. I was behind in one payment a month ago and I already paid all the fees I mentioned if there was any sales on a laptop at that point I just made a payment. He said yes once he add all my payments. I ask, "Why so much?" He stated he will see if he can give me a lower price for my payments. He said he charged me for one week, gave me one week free. I made my payment, that same day I open my mailbox and saw a coupon for Rent a Center Halloween special, 3 weeks free on a contract. I call the store. I was told Vivian the manager would call me back. Havier is a driver as well and he wasn't there. I opened the contract with him.

    I never received a callback and next time I went to make my payment on November 10 I was surprised when I mentioned the Halloween special and Havier told me I was behind in one of my items and that's why I paid last time, I already received the special for the other item. I was confused, that's not what he said and he hung up on me, said he doesn't argue with women. I was asking for receipts and trying to understand what happened. I also wanted him to pick up the item. I called back, Vivian the Manager was worse. I never experienced anything like this. I ask for the owner of the store name and information. I did not receive clear information regarding my payments and contract.

    The Manager Vivian and Havier both did not allow me my right for information and truth regarding company owner. They continue saying they're locally owners, the owner is in another country. Finally called another Rent a Center. They advise me to open a online account even if they're locally owned. I was successful in opening a account. I had to call them back so they can correct some things on the account. I finally made my payment via link text he sent me. He said that was the only way.

    I didn't understand once again but at least I had documented my payment and I had a online account. I'm horrified to know I have to continue conducting business after such disrespect Vivian told "She doesn't have time for this." She continue repeating that I'm still behind in my payments. I didn't get the chance to talk. She wouldn't listen. I was just asking for information, clear information so I can make a payment. It was insane. I was the one who called to pay like I always do.

If it's not they owe me and anyone else who has or already been through this. Up to this point they been good. I been with different ones over 30 yrs. Now the company literally is going downhill. So much competition out here that are what they use to be competitive no longer their motto. The new one by any means necessary is new one. I think this is tag team. I'm out. I know they have rules to follow for company. I like team but I like my money better. If you try to rip me off that's a problem

I was told it is not under warranty however the next time I was told they were going to order me a new section of the couch because they come apart. The next call I was told he has the part in Kingston, and was waiting for a phone call from his guy. I have check with them now through email twice more and they are still waiting on a phone call. (Do you have new and used products available?) I don't know what to do. It is a lot of money that I have put out for this set and now it is ripping. I don't have children or animals. They are selling secondhand, low-grade furniture and will not repair it

    On my account dashboard it states the following: "Are repairs included with my agreement? Yes! If an item breaks during normal use, we'll repair it quickly and at no additional cost. If offsite repairs are needed, we'll even give you a loaner while you wait. Contact your Rent-A-Center store to set up an appointment."

    A partial payment was due on a window air conditioning unit. No calls, just showed up while I was asleep. He then decided to open the window, reach into my home to move a table and unplug the unit and then took said air conditioner. When did it become ok for someone, anyone to enter your home without your permission? When is it acceptable for a business to enter your home and partially climb through a window? I believe that would be called, "Breaking and Entering". All that they had to do was let me know to turn it back in, NOT perform self-help. They took their equipment along with my family's sense of safety and security. Best advice: don't deal with them. They are bullies and liars and use strong arm tactics and now they have added entering homes without permission.

    The company resolved my issue in a timely manner. If anyone has to rent, let it be from this store because the district and store manager will put you first.

    Original Review: Sept. 2, 2023

    As the title says never again! I wasn’t even going to take it here with these people but clearly I don’t have a choice! The first incident was with an employee who had no home training and after clearing that up with the district manager which is know that this employee is not allowed nowhere near my apartment unless they want issues. Well today is Saturday and I’m currently waiting for my deposit to clear. Well tell me why this same rude employee shows up at my house (keep in mind the payment is not late it’s literally due today) asking for payment. Well, being that my payment is not late it’s actually still on time. You have no reason to come to my house. This time I was pleasant. Next time I can’t make any guarantees. Will never rent or recommend this place to anyone. Sidenote: Not everyone will accept the bullying and harassment. Consider that before coming to people’s houses.

First attempt I was reserved a rental car that wasn’t even available. Then told that I can just Uber or Lyft. Explaining if I didn’t live in the middle of nowhere it still did me no good. Fast forward 3 weeks of no income and their insurance stalling and ignoring. The manager at the store telling me once he filed the claim rent a center wipes their hands of it.

I am to the point of getting an attorney involved. They said it was fixed, brought it back and it had not been touched. They came and picked it back up and brought another loaner, and it wasn't hooked up right so my laundry room flooded. They now have it again, promised me it would be ready in 2 weeks, that was over a month ago.

    The DM called when I made my first complaint and said that they would cover the payments until I got my washer back. I called this morning to check the status and was told it was going to be fixed this coming Monday and I would have it back Tuesday or Wednesday. Then this afternoon, they called and asked me for a payment. Hell no. You're not getting a payment until I get my washer back. These people at this particular store do nothing but lie.

    This company is God awful. I've been a customer since 2015 and dealt with two separate locations. ne back in 2015 and the other currently, 2022-2023. The first time I had a very similar experience and told myself I would never purchase anything from this place again. I guess time heals all wounds because I fell back renting a couch and tv from them. To be fair I didn't pay attention to the contract well at least the part of interest and how long I'd be paying on said items. (3 years was the length of my contract) for a couch and 50 inch tv. It's as dumb and impossible to believe as it sounds!

    This last encounter with this company was absolute hell on my life. I literally stress less about my rent car note or any other bill WORTH STRESSING OVER, than I did this company. Personal affairs means nothing to this place no matter how long you've been a customer or how much you've already paid, they will harass you with house visits and phone calls literally the day of your payment and every single day after. "You may say oh well I just won't miss a payment". Well don't forget this is a 3 yr contract with biweekly payments.. They don't care if you are down to your last few payments they will harass and threaten you to insanity.

    This company from the over pricing to the EXTREMELY ABSENT customer service, Is beyond awful! I cannot express it enough. I honestly don't believe anyone can because I looked at other reviews and every single one star review is spot on! I'm not an angry or vengeful person in a normal situation. I wouldn't waste the time trying to convince anyone that they shouldn't shop somewhere but, if this review can at least save a few innocent people from the headache this company is that's enough for me. Having this entire brand shut down would be a God send. This company is absolutely horrible and represents everything that is wrong with this country and how we treat each other as neighbors.

    My husband has rented from Rent-A-Center for years buying living room sets, appliances too many items to list individually. Except to point out they took my stainless steel refrigerator for repairs which was high priced and gave us a loaner. So we thought. Instead they switched out the refrigerator for a cheap white one and didn't inform us it ask if that was ok. While trying to get that taken care of we asked for repairs on a washer we purchased. Their repair man came in diagnosed the problem. RAC came in got the washer and sent it for repair. They brought it back still not working. Their guys came again and got it but didn't turn off the water when they removed the hose. Did about $3000 dollars worth of damage to my house and refused to accept responsibility for the damages.

    I had just had brain surgery and was on restrictions and still had staples in my head and had to clean up the water they let run all over the place. It ruined my bathroom! And RAC's insurance company is refusing to pay. So I had to turn it in to my homeowners and they are going to sue RAC to get the money back. I have a $1500 Deductible so looks like I am going to take them to court as well.

    I have rented a package deal from Rent-a-center. I bought my house 2 years ago and all was fine. We had an older washer and dryer in the home when we bought it. We wanted to upgrade and went through rent a center. They plugged in the new dryer and I was smelling a burning smell. They said it’s from the shipping and the oil from the shipping needed to burn off. I said ok and thought nothing of it. In October my husband went to restart the dryer and it wouldn’t turn on. I looked at the machine and then as I was looking to see if it had unplugged I see fire marks up my wall. I immediately had my husband pull the plug out. It was melted in the socket.

    When I inspected the plug it was burnt and melted on 1 side only. I contacted Rent A Center and they sent someone out to get the dryer. I was told they would send me the insurance information. They never did I had to call repeatedly to get it. Then when I did get it the agent said it could take weeks to get someone out to inspect the damage. I called my own electrician out, got an estimate and waited for Sedgwick Rent A Center's insurance company to send out someone. They still haven’t. I called the electrician back out to repair the burned out socket $350 plus sending my clothes out to be washed $400 for a month.

    Still no reply from the insurance company. I called Rent A Center and asked when I can get my dryer back. Mind you I was still paying on it even though I didn’t have it. They rent a center said I could stop paying on it but I would fall in to missed payments for the dryer and they would pick up the rest. So I have paid a monthly payment for an item I don’t have.

    On 11-3 I called the store reported the wall and socket fixed by a licensed electrician. The store told me I had to talk to the manager. That she would be in the next day. So I waited until the next day. I had to call her she said let me get the store open I’ll call you back in a hour. Three hours later I called again. I was told the manager who was supposed to call me left. I talked to that person and was told that they were not going to bring my dryer back. That they were told to do nothing until the insurance company released it. The insurance company never came to my house never inspected nothing. I called the insurance company and the agent was out of town when I pressed 0 to talk to someone else the number is disconnected. This is an absolute nightmare.

The company allows people basically an opportunity to have things they would normally have to pay for in cash however since 2020 when I first started my first agreement at 71st and Jeffrey the entire staff minus delivery guys have been horrible experience. I called today to understand why my due date was offset by 4 weeks. When I started it was 10 to start. Mind you I paid off my first agreement with them and they tacked on an extra $10.0 I said then I would never work with this store again. So by the time I got my items It was 4 weeks later and it was time to pay again which made no sense since I was under the impression it took so long because they had to order the furniture and when I called a week prior to receiving my items to find out why it's taking so long they told me I would have to order it which is another 3 weeks and up to 2 months or they said, "You can get the used items."

    I was thirsty so I said, "Sure. Do I get a discount on the items." They said, "Yea yea" real fast and placed the order and told me it would be able to be delivered in a week. So yes 4 freaking weeks later the bill is due as if I even had something that last 3 weeks. My first order took 2 days to place order and get delivered so this was retaliation from before because I don't play that period. My due dates do not align with my pay dates and I stated that $6 fee extra every month no one will explain nor have they taken off or asked if I wanted it. They are extremely unprofessional and should be evaluated for sure the way they answer the phones to the misleading statements. ATTENTION PLEASE. CLEAN HOUSE.

    I called back after manager screamed at me and assistant manager hung up on me to obtain the Manager's name. He asked my name and I told him he deliberately said, "The manager will call you back Miss ** (as if I'm sorry Miss ** in the Song)." Rude. Unprofessional. Unacceptable and I demand for my account to be moved to another store and they be looked into. I can't imagine how many hopeless people this store has mislead for sales and to be able to stay open.

Excellent service and quality merchandise, John even finished the payoff on a entertainment center if I rented a washer and both I still have 15 yrs later. But the del. service started getting bad got a refrigerator and they tore my door and dented the refrigerator instead of taking doors off fridge. Got a laptop for wife. 6 month and the screen got a huge green line going through. It it went to service like 5 times and still never got fixed.

    Janet was at Alcoa TN store with Zack then your corporate office made good on that and for that wife was grateful. We have had a couple things that needed repairs following that and we had to complained to John and Zack a lot 'til they got repaired or replaced. I figured that if I have to pay a lot of money I always got new. Never previously rented but the one time I did it was a bunk bed for my handicap daughter. Your guys set up in my living room I was redoing my daughter's floor.

    About a week maybe 10 days later she has a lot of small bites on her we removed the mattress. Didn’t seen nothing. It wasn’t until I unscrewed the wood slats when we saw the bed bugs. Your co. sent someone out to check and underneath all the box springboards was infested. Your company had to flip the bill for getting rid of them and replace ins things that got infested. To make a long story short I went into the Alcoa store before Zack left and John was there with him was going to rent something. Zack said I couldn’t rent anything else. I asked him why. He said I need to talk to John. He got John to come out and this is what John told me he wasn’t renting to me because I had cost the company to much money and that I went over his head to have things done that he wouldn’t. How is anything that happen my fault?

    13 years I was a good customer and at least 18-20k of my money. Paid off a lot of stuff with no complaints, Dustin is managing store now I went in there to rent a new refrigerator and he told me he would have to call John. He went into office, came out and told me that John said no he has never forgot me going over his head. I asked Dustin about it. He just shrugged his shoulders and said sorry and he koans I was a good customer. I have brought a lot of referrals to RAC and would like to stay a customer what can we do to fix this? Something that wasn’t my fault I wound up going to conns home furnishings to get my refrigerator at less the price from RAC but I go ticking the people Janet, Zack, Dustin and other staff.

It had $112 so I paid the $112 and then it says I owe 3 more notes but if I pay out early it will be $119.. I called the store I deal with and they told me if I had of come in and paid it in person I would’ve had a zero balance and by me paying on the app it was charging me more.. I said I don’t have an extra hundred dollars to give y’all when I had a payout for $181 and if I owe anything it’s $69…I’ve been dealing with them for years and I feel like they’re ripping people off through the app…It’s not the workers because they are wonderful people.

THEN I see that Rent A Center prices the exact same washer at almost $900.00 cash and almost $1900.00 with their all too easy to utilize weekly payment plans,... IS ALL I NEED TO RATE 1 STAR.

    I do not get paid until Tuesdays, they knew this before bringing me the washer and dryer. Still they harass me, tell me their payday is on Saturdays, so I better pay a week in advance. No customer skills whatsoever. Call after call, and I would pay the fines and all. But yet they continue. Disabled daughter and myself disabled, but yet even though we make great money, they have no desire to even work with us, so I procured another set and when my husband comes home from work for the week, they can come tomorrow around 4pm and get her thier bs products!!!

    I will never recommend this company to anyone. Unbelievable bad business. I am so happy to see them go and know I will never get another harassing phone call or drop by that they do to try to intimidate people...Well I am a legal assistant, too bad for them for their actions.

    The manager and employee of this store are outright rude and highly unprofessional to paying customers. I purchased a bed online and on that same day I confirmed with the store delivery of bed to my home on 12/9/21. I called store on 12/8/21 to find out the time of delivery of my bed. The female employee was extremely rude arguing with me that there is nothing showing in their system about my order and rudely and loud voice told me I must have purchased from another store. I asked her what she needed from me to help her do her job and she spoke to me in a rude and condescending way. I told her to stop. I told her I’m a paying customer and her treatment is unprofessional and that it’s not my fault they don’t know how to resolve the issue. She began speaking to a male employee about me in a rude way and abruptly put me on hold.

    Then the male manager got on the phone and continued the rudeness and was adamantly saying I must have purchased from somewhere else and he doesn’t appreciate me telling him how to do his job. I told him I’m a paying customer trying to get the bed I purchased delivered as I was told on the day I ordered it and that he should not be rude and unprofessional with paying customers. He elevated his voice at me the entire time trying to speak over me. He said they have nothing on my order and that’s that. I looked up my email confirmation of order and told him how much I paid and the date and the store number and phone number. That’s when he asked if I paid the full cash price? I repeated that I paid in full online.

    Then all of a sudden he changed his tone and said to me that’s why they didn’t see the order and was trying to nicely refer to me as mam. He said my bed would be delivered on Friday 12/10 rather than 12/9. A delay because they didn’t know about my order. This experience was highly negative and abusive at best. There was no apology. I will absolutely never again purchase anything from this store and I will be giving it the negative review it deserves. The days of treating a paying customer in a professional manner are over in this particular store. They not only need retraining on how to navigate their own systems and do their job right but they would hopefully benefit in retraining on how to conduct themselves as decent human being and polish up on their interaction and communication skills. They sound like extremely low educated people who bring their home way of doing things into the marketplace. Absolutely disgusting and tacky.

They come over weekend to pick it up, so I moved fridge to our porch/deck so all they had to do was back in and load it when they came, alas 14 days later they finally showed up and wouldn’t take it cause it now had bugs in it from sitting outside so long and pretty much told me I had to keep paying for a broke fridge that I was stuck with it.

Yet when I needed a 6th mattress and frame the “exceptional staff” took mercy upon on me and gave me a mattress and frame for a courtesy period! 6 mattresses and frames in 2 years, they know I’m a problem customer so they give me a 6th????

    So I have been with RAC since like August with no issues besides the annoying phone calls to me and my husband's phones every payment due date. If they don't reach you they will call over and over again! Anyways I recently switched to paying my payments online to not have to go into the store because they treat you like crap after you sign that contract. So I was paying online no problem then yesterday (Monday) which is my due date every week for the laptop. It is $31. So I work from home and I get off at 7pm, I had forgot to make my payment but they had already talked to my husband earlier that same day and he told them if not tonight then tomorrow morning for sure.

    RENT A CENTER knocked on my door at 7:30pm while everyone in my house is eating asking me to make a payment now! He asked me if I wanted to use my card to make a payment now with him. I'm like, "I'm going to go inside when you leave and make my payment online. I am not handing you my card." After that I'm like, "What are you going to do if I don't make my payment? Are you going to come in my house and get my laptop?" I laughed (we have a house full of people 6 people). I then asked him to please get off my property! I went inside and come back out 10 minutes later. He is still standing by my front door like 2 ft away! I was yelling at this point get off my property now!

    The manager was on the phone with him the entire time! He finally left after 30 minutes of going back and forth. I called rent a center the next morning and talked to the manager and he said, "Oh that was my fault. The guy is new and didn't know what to do!" I told him, "I make my payments online to not deal with you and the rude people who work for you every time I am in here. I am always leaving mad. How are you going to come to my house when technically my payment was not late!!"

    I did make it after the guy left and then he argued with me, "Well it says here you paid it this morning." "So you're telling me I'm lying?" "No that's what it says and you didn't pay your club fees" which is a rip off anyway. My payment was $41 last night and I only made my payment not the extra crap you guys charge. I will never rent from rent a center ever again. Buddy's is the best place to go. They will work with you if you're late not show up to your house the same day the payment was due and harass you at home.

I called them to request an extension and they wouldn't work with me. Mind you, I had paid off two other major items previously faithfully and with no issues. I believe I only needed a week or two extension. They harassed me, called me, came to my house every day! What a terrible way to treat a good customer!

    To make a long story short, I did pay the TV off within the two weeks. I never ever used them again. I made a few more large purchases with Aaron's and was completely satisfied. I ran into one issue where I had to request an extension and I never had a problem. They worked with me, didn't harass me and everything got paid in full. In-fact, the GM helped me out and gave me a generous discount on the final payment for being such a good customer! I no longer need to use such places, but I am thankful for Aaron's being there when I needed them. Currently, my son and wife have a few rental items and was impacted by Covid and awaiting unemployment.
