I have a sectional I'm still paying on. I have been waiting since October for them to fix the cushions. Karen Williams the manager has informed me that they can't get the cushions because they no longer make my furniture. I'm not gonna finish paying for something that can't be fixed. I want them to come get the sectional. I will keep the lamps & tables for my copinsation. I would appreciate this problem resolved. I'm tired of waiting and tired of paying for Junk!

I signed a lease agreement in March of 2013 with Aarons Sales and Lease in Yuba City, CA. I ordered two sets of living room furniture, two sets of table sets, lamps and a 60’ television as well.

I was told when I ordered the second living room set that it would have to be ordered from another store, as they didn’t have them in stock at the Yuba City store. I was also told that the tables for both sets had to be ordered from another store, as well as the loveseat for the first sofa set we paid for. I was fine with this.

I had the sofa delivered within the week and the rest we were waiting on. Two weeks past (and we paid for all of this upfront, without having the furniture in our possession) and the tables finally came. We were told that the rest of the furniture would come but hadn’t made a certain truck load. Another week past and finally the rest of the furniture was in and was delivered.

When the men came to deliver the second sofa set, the loveseat had a pretty good size tear in the side/back of it. We brought this to their attention immediately and requested that it be fixed. Two weeks later we were told it was fixed.

All this time we were spoken to like crap over the telephone by Rachel and her co-worker (not sure of her name). There were payment issues, amount issues and obviously furniture issues right from the start.

We finally decided after the many mishaps that it was most cost effective to return all of the leased furniture due to the lack of communication and poor quality of furniture. We returned all of the merchandise other than the television (which we still have and pay monthly on). We had Aarons come pick up the furniture in June.

In August we moved from our home to a new house 45 mins away. This is was unforeseen as we lived with multiple issues in the house that our landlord at the time refused to address. We moved after a mutual agreement with him on August 7, 2013.

We called Aarons and made them aware (after speaking with Rachel again) that we had moved and didn’t have a home number yet, but when we did, they would be given that. We did still have our cell phone numbers, which they already had.

We went through a nasty court battle with our ex-landlord who has belittled and slandered us for the past three months. We recently went to court over getting our security deposit back where our landlord sat in open court and deemed that “we never pay our bills” and “had furniture repossessed according to Daniel at Aarons furniture” suggesting his statement was correct. This was all in an effort to extort money from our family. Success on his part.

After winning in court, I received the following in an email addressed to my wife and I that stated “You didn’t sell your furniture it was REPOSSESED by Aaron’s and now they want their TV back. I asked them if the TWO living room sets they REPOSSESED were infested with cockroaches and he said no. Don’t worry I passed along your new contact information to Daniel over there.” “I think it’s hysterical that you had furniture repossessed and now they want their TV back.” “As for the Aaron's furniture deal they left a note on the door, I called them found out they want to repossess your 60 inch TV and also found out about the furniture. He told me how he got some of the furniture from another store and didn't make any money on it and now wants his TV back. Turns out you've cost them a lot of money too.”

I am sure you can see why I would be upset about this as this is a HUGE privacy issue for my family and I. This information was given to a man that is NO WHERE listed on my rental application, contacts, etc. So basically this tells me that ANYONE can call, say they are my landlord (which at this particular time he was no longer), wife, etc. and my personal information is just going to be handed out/talked about like daily news. I also asked for a copy of what was left on the door of our house and of course, no copy of this was available as well.

This was given to a man that went through my personal garbage can that sat on the curb, found a rough draft of my new lease and called my current landlords to slander my wife and I to them as well. I have spoken with Daniel at Aarons in Yuba City, who apologized and said the he told him the things that he did because the man that called told him that he was our landlord and because this man was listed as our landlord. We had Daniel pull our rental agreement (that I signed) and confirmed that this is NOT the case. This man that called was not listed on anything, ever. We lived in Yuba City and had a different landlord when we signed the agreement with Aarons Furniture.

I am seeking legal representation over this, as this may very well have swayed a judge in awarding our ex-landlord his judgment against us. I am furious, am not given and concrete answers and want something done about the breach of confidentiality here. If I am a day late Aarons goes on a calling rampage to all of the people listed on my application, but when the tables are turned I can’t get any answers. This is not over……

I bought a complete living room, plus two twin beds. The living is paid off with perfect payments. The twin beds are damaged. I have been paying them for 14 months. I continually call the Islip, NY store to speak to the manager. I finally spoke to him about this matter. He told me I would have to wait until new ones come into his store. It has been more than a month and he does't return my calls. I have continued to make the payments but two weeks ago a David from that store rang my bell saying my bill was late. I showed him the damaged mattresses, and showed him my payment proof. He told me when he returned to the store he would correct the matter. I have not heard from him either. I plan on calling the store to have these beds picked up and will never deal with Aarons again.

I received (rent to own) a HP laptop in May 2013 from Aarons in Tupelo, MS. In August of 2013, the keys started to stick and you could not use it to type. I took the laptop to Aarons and they said just to clean it and it would be fine. I brought the laptop back to the house and a friend and myself cleaned it. But the keys were still sticking. I took the laptop back in on Monday, August 26, 2013 for them to send it off to be fixed. It did not leave the store until a week later. They said I got there too late on the 26th for it to get on the truck. I received it back on September 9, 2013. I was busy and did not have time to do anything on it that day. My friend came the next day and needed to use it. She told me that the keys were still sticking. I called back to the store and told them that it had not been fixed and asked if I could just get another one since this one had not been fixed. They just told me to bring it back and they would send it off again. I called the 800 number to see if I could get some help with this. Imagine my surprise when a"Terrance" called me and told me that he had talked to the service department and I had spilled something on it. I knew beyond a shadow of a double that I had not spilled anything on it. And I told him that. He told me he wasn't calling me a liar but someone had. Since there wasn't anyone but myself, my husband, and my friend, Tammy, and my husband never touched it, then he WAS calling either me or Tammy one a liar. I was so mad that I hung up on him. I called back and requested that I needed to speak to someone else. Well, the next day, I got a call again from "Terrance". If this is the best Aarons has an employees, then I suggest that they fire them and try to find some new ones. I have never talked to anyone so rude and just plain ugly. He called us a liar in no uncertain terms. I told him that his service was lying to him that we had not done anything to the laptop, I have this laptop paid until the end of the month. I guarantee I will be returning this and I will NEVER get anything else from them. I have referred people to them. If I ever get the chance, I will tell people to turn around and run if they even think about going to AArons. I had been a very loyal customer for a long time. Now all I feel like doing is to take this laptop and telling "Terrance" to stick it up his a**. There are other places to buy such things. I will NEVER use Aarons again.

Feb 20, 2013 I talked to a representative who was inquiring about a payment on the used bedroom set I had rented, after struggling for a year I decided with my health condition I can't do this for another year so I ask to schedule a pick up date, I was told he would have someone call me. a couple of days later I was call I explain I could not have a payment before the first week in April. I was asked to come in so we can discuss a way to work with me. I stuck with my true story. the person consulted wit the manager and said they can't do a two month extension. They made me drive there knowing my case, this cost me unnecessary gas usage at $4 a gallon. I was given a date and time 02/26/13 at 2 til 230pm with a 30 mins call before. On that date I waited until 445pm after calling over 3 times.I called and told them they need to reschedule.We agreed on Monday 03/04/13
I ask what time she refused to give me a time. I suggested the same time as before, she said it will be between 4pm and 7pm, I
told her not so nice that no one.will be coming in my place after 500pm why can't she schedule like before and ask was she the manager who wasn't willing to work with me and told her she just don't want to work with me now.

I have been leasing from Aarons in my apartment a washer & Dryer from them for now 20 months the last 6 months I have been late all most every month and I got 1 or 2 months a exstension or skipped a month so I know that by July it should be paid off, And I have been sick in the hospital with the flu and now they are wanting my washer and dryer back, I paid them $100. in January late and I owed them $198. and now i do owe for Feb. plus the balance of Febuary and they have been harrasing me I am coming home from the hospital tomorrow, And I am tired they want the full pay off amount or nothing at all, So have I broken a law can they threaten me like this ? I have poorley communicateed with them the past 3 weeks since I have been in the hospital I didnt have cell phone there but they are telling me if I dont give it back to them today they are calling the cops and I am not home till tomorrow late.

Do they have these rights I know it s because i have it all most paid off I am sure of it NEVER have they behaved this way before and I have been 3 months late before and caught them back up so I want to know my rights do I have any ?

I have rented a couple of refrigerators, and my complaint is the product they use to remove odors: fabric softener sheets. These impart an odor that permeates the plastics in the freezer and in the fridge section. This does not go away and the the ice and water dispensers, no matter how much you flush them, continues to smell like fabric softener. Why don't they use something that absorbs odors and doesn't add to the problem? I have complained and they said this is company policy, so I have to put up with it.

Yes I'm purchasing a TV from Aaron's and are payment arguments were once a month and the supervisor is saying I made a contract for bi weekly payments which I I'd not make with them and they are so rude to there own staff as well taking there sales from as well.They need to read the contract before trying to make the customer pay twice a month.I signed a contract for one payment a month.

Sometimes being late on a payment happens. I have bought and paid for alot of items from Aaron’s. I do realize there are people who get merchandise and don’t pay for it. I feel that when you have been a customer for years it should count for something! I can be a day late or a week late and an employee at the store in Dallas N.C. will call me 20 times a day. Alex went so far to ask my roommate what exactly does she do with her money! WOW… I think that he needs an attitude check and the little blue button down shirt don’t scare me or make him any better than me. I like to shop at Arrons but Alex is just a bully and very very rood!

Female Staff continually promotes an unfair policy of Refusing To Hire Black Men, and discriminating against african-americans who apply with their store; hiring whites & women only! And as far as customer service goes (you it guessed it) it's horrible & unprofessional.. My advice- "STAY AWAY FROM AARON'S"!

I had a problem with Aarons about a month ago. Which resulted in them giving half of the account to us paid for by them. Well guess what a 2nd issue has arised. We decided to still pay for the washer/dryer and the computer. My husband started a new job so for the very first time ever we have to make a payment arrangement. You would think by asking them to do this it started WW3. Never being late before, always being on time, but now its a problem. I spoke with Michael who works in the store for accounts he told me that only two months has been paid on this account (when we had rented a computer from there 6 months prior paid on time and in full). He said that the other accounts we paid out and he would be extending a olive branch helping you with this payment. Really? I thought a olive branch was for peace. Are we at war? He extended the payment but made it a point to say that the accounts were paid out by Aarons. Why does it matter? If they had acted like civilized people that would have never happened. But its my fault for their actions. Now in between all of this. I have filed SEVERAL complaints with their complaint department that is a joke! They directed me to VP services I spoke with Kara who directed me to Ronnie Crumbley this guy is a joke as well.. Won't pass on messages, hangs up on you and then calls the secretary for the CEO office and tells them i'm cussing at him and what not!. Through out this whole process I have been nice, . The only person I swore at was David Powell.. You do get kind of pissed off when someone ignores you allows you to be treated like garbage and treats you like a name|. and a number;. I spoke with Ronnie Crumbley today who said he was moving my complaints to someone else and he never did, . Just said ok bye bye?. Like a coward. Also..I have spoken to David Dunbar who..helped me with the first complaint but hey...now he can't help me because he isn't in the distict. So here's the real kicker...after being hung up I called Kimberly who works the front desk at corprate. As soon as she knew it was me she said "Janice you need to pay your bill" HA! my name isn't janice, so your saying its okay that ive been treated this way? Its ok that people are treated this way by people including yourself who are suppose to represent your company? This kind of behavior is ok? She said yes we have a job to do. Well Mr. Ken Butler your running a "gangster" type operation. Because your receptionist said on the phone that these practices are okay. ALONG with "Ronnie Crumbley would have not hung up on you because he isn't that kind of person you had to do something." So the consumer in this case is never right. Trying to talk to people at corprate is a joke some hag behind a desk who thinks she knows what is going really doesnt have a clue at how *** it is to say that type of behavior is okay. I'm officially going to the state attorney general's Office of Consumer Protection and will be sending a copy of my complaint to the Federal Trade Commission. For people that don't know the process and are being bullied by these people look up all your options and don't back down. 219b344

Aarons in Rome, Georgia has been very rude and disorderly with my mother at her home. I rented a laptop from them and paid $300 down on it. Since then we have been robbed and had our utilities turned off. They have also turned our home over for foreclosure. I have been on the road working but hve got enough for 1 payment and will be in Monday July 23rd to pay it. I'm almost 2 behind but intend on catching up the first The delivery truck has tore my yard up and I intend on sueing for damages. The cost will be extremely hjgh. It will cost more than the computer. Also I am filing charges against the driver for insulting my mother and harassment.

I was renting a Dell - HP net book & TV since 9/2011. I had been paying on acct. till March 2012. I have been going thru family issues & medical issues and lost UE income. My Aunt had been talking to Aaron up till March 2012 when had to address own family issues. Anyways in the mean time when I was gone for a week place I was staying at, my Aunt's sisters had some company from out of state. Apparently the teen in the family was kicked out and during fight to get him out my TV was damaged beyond repair. I later learned he had taken my two computers :-( I learned that insurance I paid in rental amazingly did not cover Theft or damage unless act of God! So, figured nothing could do but keep paying even though lost all three items. Then lost income in April UE stopped and got sick again. Get a call 5/9/12 from police saying Kevin, Mngr was filing report of theft as well the company had charged off the Dell and was in collections as was behind 6 wks.

When my Aunt tried to call as I was at doctors the store Mngr., Kevin (who mind you in the past had no problem speaking with her in Feb. 2012 when she helped me pay out $515 paying them thru 3/15/12, told her would not speak with her. I take meds and was just to groggy yesterday. I am calling police today to explain situation, but I think its TERRIBLE that they even filed a report after all the money I have paid. I was afraid to tell them items stolen & broke.

My Aunt just read contract and realized that if the insurance I have been paying doesn't cover then I am responsible only for Fair Market value NOT to-exceed cash price. Net book & TV were grossly over priced and used. Looked on E Bay and can barely get $125 (cash price $330) on net book & $200 on T V (cash price $459). Dell was new but on E Bay selling for $285 (cash price $809).

I am going thru sever depression as result of 6 mth. homeless 1st of 2011 after loosing job (college grad too), my Aunt & her sister have been trying to help me since last Aug. get through this and I was doing better till Feb. when had major family issue with my sick mom. I have no problem per the contract paying the Fair market value AS STATED " IF LOST OR DAMAGED".
I AM WORRIED they filed 3RD DEGREE FELONY CHARGE as I DID NOT steal items, but a victim. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS COMPANY. stay away from Aaron - especially Palm Harbor, FL STORE AS THE Mgr. Kevin IS RUDE AND MEAN!

I have been a loyal customer for 2years. I have leased my furniture to own and 12/2010 is my last month and I own my living room furniture. I have had some late payments during my contract but they never had to take my furniture back. On the last month the manager decides he wants to send employees to my house every week for a payment and call my family members and tell the details and said I was over 30 days due. This is not true it will not be over 30 days until 12/31/10. I admit it has been a rough month with Christmas and three children to buy for. I will make my final payment, it would just be late for this last very last month. My point is in the past they never went this overboard for a payment, I think they know it is my last payment and want to give me a hard time. But the manager Dammion Wright seems to forget I was a loyal customer for 2years and I will tell others about this bad experience and not to do business at this location. Believe me I love my furniture and glad I will own it now, but I will never go to the Aarons on Noblin Rd. In the past Dammion Wright has always had a rude attitude anyway, not too friendly to do business with. As a good customer I should have never been harrassed like this right before Christmas, so this is why I want people to know. I have learned I am not looked at as a real person just when my MONEY IS DUE! If you do shop Aarons go to Glenwood Ave or the Durham location just not Noblin Rd. If you get in a bind you will pay for it dealing with them at Noblin Rd. Thanks for letting me share this awful experience.

Lawsuit Filed Against Aaron’s, Inc. Regarding Alleged Improper Practices

Lawsuit claims that Aaron’s, Inc. repeatedly breaches rent-to-own contracts, violates state usury laws, and engages in unfair business practices.

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) November 11, 2011

Atlanta law firm Webb, Klase & Lemond, LLC has filed a class action lawsuit against Aaron’s, Inc., one of America’s leading rent-to-own companies with over 1, 900 total stores. Aaron’s leases furniture, appliances, and electronics to consumers usually with the promise that, after a certain number of payments have been successfully completed, the consumer will own the items.

The new lawsuit alleges that Aaron’s has breached its lease agreements by refusing to provide pay-off information to consumers and through other improper practices. The suit further asserts that the company has used unfair business practices, false advertising, and misrepresentations to induce customers to enter lease agreements that are not as favorable for the consumer as represented. The claims also include unjust enrichment. The case, styled Clark v. Aaron’s, Inc., is pending in the Superior Court of Fulton County Georgia and has been assigned Case Number 2011-CV-207622.

According to the suit, Aaron’s rent-to-own business model is in reality the extension of credit through consumer loans disguised as leases for the purchase of goods. The suit alleges that the difference between the market value of the goods and the total amount of payments made by a consumer constitutes interest. State usury laws, such as the civil and criminal usury statutes in Georgia, impose a cap on the amount of interest that may be charged by a lender. The suit alleges that Aaron’s repeatedly violates these laws.

Further, the suit alleges that Aaron’s deceptively markets its well-known offer of “120-days same as cash.” According to the complaint, this offer purports to allow consumers to buy their furniture, appliances, or electronics from Aaron’s for their market value so long as the consumer pays in full within four months. The deception, as alleged in the suit, is that Aaron’s regularly and proactively attempts to prevent consumers from taking advantage of the 120-day offer by failing to provide them with their outstanding balance or pay-off amount in a timely and appropriate manner.

My Experience with Aarons

7/28/2011- I contacted and Aarons and asked if they had any specials that included a living room, and bedroom, and a big screen television so that I could furnish my new home that I was about to move into; I was informed that they do, and that they cost about $250/month, and that they are the Managers Special, so I told them that I would be in the next day to set up an agreement.

7/29/2011- I went into Aarons and I picked out furniture for my new home and then I was unable to get a TV as I had wanted because they said that the amount of furniture that you get when you first start out is at the Managers discretion; so I went along with the agreement, and I had The Christmas in July Giftcards, I had one from the mail for $100 and one that I had received via e-mail for $50 that I had asked previously if I could use both of them, and I was informed that I could. So I picked out my furniture and I was happy with it, I was a little sad because I couldn’t get the TV that I wanted, but I just said that I would wait the 4 months, because the store Manager stated that if I wait 4 months, then I could get a TV.

7/30/2011- I called to the location because I was inquiring about if I changed my furniture to some furniture that was less expensive would I be able to add the TV onto my agreement, I called and I asked to speak to the Manager, and Heather got on the phone, and stated that she was the Assistant Manager, and that the Manager had the weekend off, so I went ahead and informed Heather of what I was trying to do, and she stated that the Manager is the only person that has the authority to change an Agreement, and that I would have to speak with him, so I said okay

8/1/2011- I called the store Manager and asked him that if I changed my furniture to something a less expensive could I get the TV then, and he stated that could be a possibility, but if I did that then I would have to pay the difference from the Giftcards, because that promotion was over July 31st, I then stated that was just yesterday, and that I had called him on 7/30/2011 and I was informed that the store Manager is the only one that can make those changes and that I would have to call him back on Monday because he was off for the weekend, and then he stated that is correct, and I can make that change but you will have to pay the difference, so I said that was okay because I didn’t think that was fair, and I just said that I would wait.

8/4/2011- I contacted the store, because my furniture was scheduled to be delivered on 08/06/2011, but my house was not ready, so I contacted the location, and spoke with Heather again and informed her that my house would not be ready in time for me to move in at the scheduled date and time, so I wanted to know if I could change my scheduled delivery date to 08/15/2011, Heather informed me that would not be a problem.

8/13/2011- I contacted the location to find out what was the scheduled delivery time for my furniture, and I was informed that I was the first customer on the list, and that the deliveries start at 10:00am, and I then informed them that I had to be at work at 12:30 pm and asked could they please be on time, and they stated that they would be there.

8/15/2011- I was at my new house waiting on the furniture to be delivered, and the time was 10:05 am, still no Aarons, so I waited and waited, and finally at 10:45 am, I called and asked what happened to my delivery, and I was informed that the delivery guys were running behind this morning, and that they were loading up the truck and that they were on there way; 11:25 am, the delivery truck is finally pulling up, and I have an hour to be at work, so they are bringing in the furniture and the living room set is used, but the bedroom set is suppose to be brand new, so they are bringing in the box spring, and there is a hole in the bottom of the box spring, so I inform the delivery guys of that and they say you may want to call the location, so I said okay, just as I was about to call the location, the delivery guy came and told me that they had forgotten the bed rails to the bed so they were going to have to come back, and I asked how long was it going to take because I had to go to work, and they said that they were sorry, and that they could have another driver from the store bring the rails. So finally at 12:17 pm the other delivery guy gets there with the rails, and then I also informed him that the box spring has a hole in it, and he looked at it and he said to call the store, so I called the store and I spoke to Heather, and she stated that she could either give me a $5 discount off each payment, or give me another box spring, and seeing that I had already had to call off of work at this point for being stuck dealing with Aarons all morning I just said forget it just give me the discount, and then I asked her if it would be okay if I could make my first payment on September 15, 2011 instead of September 1, 2011, because I had a few things to come up, and she said that was fine, and that the two weeks between August 15, 2011 and September 1, 2011 she would add those to the end of the agreement.

8/24/2011- I received an estatement in my e-mail stating that make account was due on September 1, 2011.

8/25/2011- I contacted the location and I spoke with Harold, and he stated that he remembers the phone call, and that he would take care of it, and that I would be due on the 15th.

9/1/2011- I was at home, and I noticed that my bed looked like it was leaning, so I got down and looked under the bed, and the rails were falling apart, because all of the screws were not put in when the bed was put together, so I said that I had to make a mental note to call them the next day.

9/2/2011- Before I could call Aarons, I received a phone call stating that this was a courtesy reminder that my Renewal payment was due on 9/1/2011, I informed them of the situation and told them that I had spoken with Harold, and I asked them if they had read the notes in the system, and they stated that there are no notes in the system; so I asked to speak to Harold, and Harold stated that the note was in the system, and then he pulled up the note and read the note to me, then I asked when would somebody be available to come and fix the bed because it was not put together correctly. Harold then stated that he would have the service department contact me, and then Harold stated Mrs. Ford other that everything is straight the note is in the system, and you are due on the 15th.

9/3/2011- I received a phone call stating that my renewal payment was due, and what time was I coming in to make the payment, so I had to go over the same scenario as the day before going all the way back to August 15, 2011 with the phone call with Heather, then to August 25, 2011 to the phone call with Harold. This time the phone call was a little more intense than the day before, and I asked why do you guys keep calling me about the same thing when there is a note in the system, and when is the service department going to call me, so then they stated the service department never called you and informed them that they had not, so then I was placed on hold and the service Manager who I believe name is Justin got on the phone and said that somebody would be out on 9/6/2011 between 10am-3pm to fix the bed.

9/3/2011- Not even an hour later from the first phone call, I received another phone call, asking what time can I come in to make my payment, then I asked are you reading the notes and the guy said what notes, there are no notes, so then I asked to speak to Harold, and I was like Harold what is going on, I keep getting phone calls and everybody is saying that they don’t see the note, and then Harold stated okay I am looking at the account right now, and the note is in there, then he said what happened was this Mrs.Ford in July they gave you a credit for your box spring in the amount of $100, and I then informed Harold that was not true, and that I had gotten the furniture on August 15, 2011, and that there was a hole in the box spring then and that the $100 credit that he was seeing was from the giftcards that I had brought in, and then Harold asked me to hold on again, so I did. Harold came back to the phone and said okay Mrs. Ford I have everything taken care of, I then informed Harold that I was very dissatisfied with the level of service and professionalism that I was receiving from Aarons, and that if Heather was unable to accommodate me, then she should not have informed me that she could, and Harold said Mrs. Ford I do apologize for the inconvenience, but I do remember the conversation, and then I stated to Harold that it was nothing personal towards him, but I needed to speak with the Corporate Office or a Regional Manager, and Harold gave me the number for Brad Market ; I attempted to contact Brad Market on 9/3/2011, but I was informed by a woman at that location that Brad had left for the day, but that she would send him an e-mail informing him to contact me, and she took down my contact number as well as my name.

9/6/2011- The repairmen came to my house and when I opened the door, they stated that they were there to pick up my furniture, and said no your suppose to be here to fix my bed, and he asked the other guy who was with him if he had his cell on him, and I said I need to call them as well, and then when I called and somebody picked up the phone at the store the delivery guy said that was his mistake he read the sheet wrong, so I informed the guy on the phone that was okay, and then I hung up. So then the repair guys started to fix the bed, and then when they were finished they said we have to bring another rail out here, so Justin from our service department will call you.

9/7/2011- I came home from work, and had a door tag on my door saying that they had came by.

9/8/2011- I called Aarons to see why they had came by my house, and the guy on the phone pulled up my account and then he said that they came by because I was past due, and that they just wanted to know when I was coming in to make a payment, I then informed him that he should review the notes, and that I just need to know why they came to my house, and he said oh it was for a service, I said that I was informed that Justin would call me to set up an appointment, and that never happened, and then he put me on hold, and then he came back to the phone, and said that somebody would be there between 10-3 on 9/9/2011.

9/9/2011- I called up to Aarons to find out what my exact amount due monthly was, and then the guy who answered the phone asked for my information, and he looked everything up, and then he said that my amount due was $294.xx, and what time was I coming in to pay that today? I told him that I am not coming in today and that I am not scheduled to come in until the 15th, and then I told him that I didn’t know the exact amount, but I do know that it was not as much as he said it was, and I told him to review the notes, and then he placed me on hold, and then he got back on the phone, and said that there is no notes and then he stated that the General Manager said that you are due on the 1st so your past due, and then I asked may I speak to him because apparently neither one of you know what you are talking about, then he repeated what I said and started snickering, and then the General Manager got on the line, said yes Mrs. Ford you are due on the 1st, you came in on July 29th and started this agreement and you paid up until September 1, 2011, and then I asked him was he going to let me talk, and he said yes go ahead, I asked him why did Heather tell me that then, and he stated that he spoke with Heather and that Heather informed him that she never had that conversation with me, about me changing my due date, and I said well if Heather is informing you of that than she is lying to you, and then I said that even Harold is aware of the situation and he said that Harold said that he never spoke with me about this situation, I said are you serious, and he said yes, I said okay I am not going to even worry about it, I said I am just going to continue to contact Brad Martin the Regional Manager as I have been doing, because I am tired of this whole situation, and then I informed him that for Harold to say that he never spoke with me about this, he is the one who gave me the contact information for the Regional Manager, and then he was being sarcastic and stated really so when did you speak to the Regional Manager, because he is on vacation, and I informed him that I spoke to the Regional Manager last Friday, and I said that there is a woman at the Regional Managers store that sends him e-mails when he is not in, so he is getting my message, then he stated well nobody at this store has the authority to send e-mails to the Regional Manager except for him, and I informed him that I didn’t say that anybody from his store sent the e-mail, I informed him that the e-mail was sent from the Regional Managers store. Then the General Manager stated okay Mrs. Ford your account is due on the 15th, and let the Regional Manager make any other adjustment that you need made, and you don’t have to worry about anybody at this location anymore, because I am transferring you over to the Mayfair Plaza store and it is closer to your house, I said that is fine, but I am still calling the Regional Manager, and then he said that there is no reason for me to contact the Regional Manager because I no longer have to deal with them, and I informed him that I was calling, because I feel like the Regional Manager needs to made aware of how you treat your customers especially ones that are new, and he needs to be aware of the unprofessionalism and rudeness and the quality of care that is coming from that store, and he stated okay Mrs. Ford you have a good night. I then contacted Logan at the Regional Managers store, and I informed him partially of what was going on, and then he stated that he would also send an e-mail to the Regional Manager, I am very disappointed by this whole Calendar of Events that has taken place with this company, and I do not appreciate it at all, and I wish that something would be done for this, I am a paying customer and I work hard for my money, and this money that I am paying to help keep this corporation going, and they way that I have been treated all the way back to August 1, 2011 is just completely unacceptable, and this will be heard. Because I work for a major corporation, and if my business manager even thought for one second that we were mistreating our members I wouldn’t have a job, so my thing with that is if you don’t know how to treat people you shouldn’t deal with the public, maybe you should have a back end job and not frontline where you represent your company, because the impression that I have of Aarons at this point sucks badly. And I don’t believe that I am going to remain a customer there, I will take my business to the competitor before I am a disrespected paying custome

I paid for a washer/dryer to have delivered and was given a spacific date for delivery and time. They never showed up or called. I continually called until finally they delivered it (but they kept telling me it was to late to have a driver do so.) When they delivered it they left me to buy the accessories which were to come with it and left me to install it which they were suppose to do. After a few months I moved and called to tell Aarons to come get it giving them two weeks notice. As to which I called every other day and was always told they had no record of my calling previously and they would make a note. I was also told I could not bring it back to them they had to come and get it. I left three days after my final date for them to pick up, as to which they still never showed up to collect their merchandise. I left the washer/dryer behind at the known location and yet they still harrass every contact they demanded to have in order to rent it instead of going over and getting the dang things. NEVER rent from Aarons. They have no idea how to run a business. I have since contacted corporate...awaiting their solution!
