Aaron's Sales and Lease Complaints - Sales associate peeping into my bedroom as I was sleeping

Aaron's Sales and Lease

Posted: 2007-10-09 by James Mathews Jr.  [send email]
Sales associate peeping into my bedroom as I was sleeping
Complaint Rating:  75 % with 4 votes
On Oct. 9th Aaron's representatives made a home visit to " discuss my account" I have been ill and was resting in my bedroom when I heard footsteps near my window ( I live in a basement apartment and my windows are at ground level) I noticed someone listening and looking into my window. I had no idea who it was. I quickly ran to the front window and saw the Aaron's box truck pulling away. I felt violated, I was in the safety of my own home and of all places, I should feel safe and secure in my home. What's worse is that the item we still owe on ( a tiny $133.00, FINAL PAYMENT, already paid over $1000.00 on it). My husband was in a horrible accident that has prevented him from working and after SEVERAL conversations with the Manager we assured him that the final payment would be made as soon as the insurance check arrives. The manager was EXTREMELY RUDE and REFUSED to give us the name and number for the General or District manager to form a complaint. I will be calling the police and pressing charges against the Aaron's employee(s) who committed this act of privacy invasion.

Debtors and deadbeats always paint a vile, nasty picture of their creditors.

I'm an employee at this company, and personally I feel as if it's not at all a bad place to work for. The person who said it was like a sweatshop, either they were just a disgruntled employee, or maybe their managers were just not the right person for the job. Most the time when an account is so far past due we do go to the home of the customer, but this is when no contact can be made. If contact was actually made with the customer, no one would be sneaking around windows.

As i write this, I have just finished talking to the police. An Aarons employee came to my house looking for my brother which no longer lives with me nor have i seen him in over a month and I do not have his new contact info. I told this to Aarons countless times but they only told me until i give them useful info and he pays, they will continue to harass me. Well today one had came to my door, and after an argument between him and I, i told him to go look for him your f'n self and i took their little pamphlet that said "Discuss your Account". As I proceeded to close the door, the employee pushed the door open and tried to come in saying dont close the door on him. I pushed him back and it became a cursing match between us once he told me not to curse. I also asked him what if i had a gun, he said hes not scared of me, and to go get it. I tried to close the door again and he pushed it back open. He said i told you not to close the f'n door. I told him not to do it again and that i was going to call the police, he told me to go ahead because hes not scared and he can come into my house if he wanted because he has the right. I then slammed the door quick enough that he couldnt push the door. He said thats why I slammed the door because im scared or something like that, I guess he thought he was punking me. That is when I called the Police and then Aarons. The Aarons manager tried to convince to not speaking to the police and also told me he can only punish the employee severely if I not speak to the police. And that he hopes it wouldnt come to that. He also that they do have the right to come to my house because my brother put down my address. I told him I own my Co-op, my brother doesnt have a lease. He then said "so wheres the Laptop then" as if i had it. I told him i have to expensive custom made PCs and a $2, 000+ Mac Air so i dont need a cheap laptop. After I got off the phone, Aarons called me about 5 times back to back with only 1 minute apart. This is ridiculous. I owe you nothing. Its not my fault they dont run peoples credit and lease their things to incompetent people. I am not my brothers keeper, and next time they come to my door Ill be waiting because i had a knife in my pocket from opening a Fedex box earlier, if he wouldve came in, i dont know what I would have done. My bat will now stay behind my door. These people are THUGS. And the Employees name is Alex. Hes tall Fat and Pale white, with brown hair i believe, if you seem him run to the kitchen so you can defend yourself!

I used to work for Aaron's and this job is not any I would tell a friend of mine to apply with. The company turns the employees into monsters. The people who work for the company are pushed so hard they tend to do horrible things. For instance, if that person who was peaking through your windows went back to the store with that final payment, they would have been praised. But to return to the store with out the payment, would result in disciplinary action not only from the G.M. at the location, but the Regional staff calling into the store verbally assaulting the employee as well. This company is basically a United States legalized sweat shop. I was actually a manager for the store. I would go into the store in the morning about 8 a.m. and was not allowed to leave until at least 9 p.m. My typical work week was about 75 hours. Unfortunately I had no choice. I was a single mother with bills of my own to pay and honestly would go months without being allowed a day off thus to look for another job. The upper management for this company are very sad individuals. Most have been married two or three times and 9 out of 10 are divorced. They treat employees as well as customers very bad. The interest rate is well over 85%. Yes I know. However, they do pay a good salary, but once divided by the number of hours worked, it averages out to any other job. The pay check is the addicting part. There commercials are nice, the even sponsor various sporting events, but of course when revenues are down, your store locations and personal will be paying the price, not the big wigs watching the Aaron's race car go round and round the track. It's a sad situation and just another example of Corporate abuse in America and there is nothing any one can do about it because of the assets involved. This company would rather have 7 employees working there life away then 10 employees sharing the hours, I believe this is a very stupid business exercise. I am very happy now that I have left this company and I pray that Charlie Loudermilk C.E.O. for the company will some how find out what he has created besides his billions of dollars, and if he already knows, Then I hope that his billions of dollars spends well in heaven!!! I did get one good thing out of this company and that was the training. Other than that, I hope a good lease to own company will rise and put this one in bankrupt.
