Rent-A-Center Unauthorized payments

I'm pretty pissed off that you allow your employees to run cards without authorization! I called the store they said they would refund my money since they had no approval to run my card! Should I just press charges against the individual? What the hell do I have to do get this corrected? I guess they think it's okay to just illegally run cards without authorization? Like wtf?! Have this corrected now

Mike the store manager from Altoona store by Walmart have a gaming monitor to an employee that is on rent by a customer that didn't take it with the rest of the computer. That is stealing and they both should be fired. The employees name is Thomas mock. I was in the store when he gave it to him and I knew Tom from a different job and he's bragged about it since then.

In July 2021 before my payment was due, I told the renta center in Tooele. Utah that I no longer wanted the 2 piece couch set because the one recliner doesn't recline and the price for the couch was bundled with my tv and soundbar. I have other items there also, my washer and dryer, a bed frame and snowblower. I asked Chris to split the couches from the...

Rent-A-Center Charging me weekly rental when the item was picked up by rent a center 17 weeks ago they owe me $490.28

This complaint is about Rent a Center. I used the Elizabeth St, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 location for this rental, but that center has closed and the telephone number has been disconnected.
I rented a recliner/rocker because my husband was coming home from a rehab center. It was delivered to my house January 21 or 22, 2021. The Agreement # is [protected]. The weekly rental is $25.64 plus a service charge for a weekly total of $28.84. THE RECLINER WAS PICKED UP BY RENT A CENTER ON FEBRUARY 16, 2021. However, EVERY WEEK SINCE they are charging me. $28.84.
I have written to the company via email once, two more written complaints sent via their website "contact us" function. I can't call New Brunswick because the phone has been disconnected. To date they owe me $490.28 and every week it goes up. I contacted the New Brunswick location before they closed and was sent an email saying the problem was fixed. NO IT WAS NOT? I have received no refund and they are still charging me. I called the corporate Customer Service number and SS on hold for more than 1 hour and I finally hung up.
Please help. If this doesn't work, I'm going to Better Business Bureau and the NBC TV hotline for help.

He is the rudest person you come in contact with when entering his store and he can't tell or help with products that are in the store. Customers don't come into rent a center to be treated like a child, people have problems in their lives that take priority over making payments on time. But didn't want to deal with anyone for a couple of days and I tried...

Good afternoon, I'm writing to complain about an employee by the name of Justin at the Dothan, Al Rent A Center. He does not deserve to be part of the Rent A Center team. He doesn't follow protocol when calling customers about their bill. He called my job without calling my cellphone first. He was rude as hell and very disrespectful. Now, I see my bill...

When I called and talked to the district manager of the store on prince street located in clovis, nm he kept saying that I changed my plan. I told him I never have the option to change it. If I have the option to change something on a contract that wa...

I am writing this in order to protect other customers, or possibly employees. The employees of this Rent-A-Center location are sexist and talk about women as if they are objects. One individual in particular at this location, Todd, seems to view women as if they are an objects and tries to take them out on dates and even take them home with him, even...

Rent-A-Center Employees treated wrong by company

RAC wants to have employees self terminate themselves and draw unemployment. This is so wrong. RAC should pay them there regular pay during these hard times. It is obvious that the heads in corporate doesn't give a damn about there employees just like they dont give a damn about the customers. This is so sad and sorry. These owners really need to care alot more.

employees give out my information to somebody not living in the household, I didn't ask for ID didn't ask for any names, and when I asked about customer confidentiality he tried lying to me and saying that they didn't say anything about the account, but I have witnesses to say that they did. I was also hung up on twice, even though I was trying to pay my bill. I would really appreciate a call back
