Reviews and Complaints

I was about to purchase a single family home from this website but after i heard about parrot scam website I look up the website reviews and there are a lot of bad reviews luckily i didn't give any information.

These lease to own home sites can be useful but I think consumers need to be aware of all of the pitfalls of these types of companies and agreements.

While some of the information was moderately helpful, I could have spent the same amount on an hour w/my lawyer. These types of site are sometimes referred to as "boiler room operations". Fancy looking website financed by the monies they pimp out of the consumers. Like the Wizard of Oz it's all smoke and mirrors and very little substance. There are dozens of other websites, including government consumer protection sites, that would have the same for free. My advice; 1)Take due diligence before investing any money in this website. 2)Nothing is for free, if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. S. Macest

This site does what it sets out to, gives a list or rent-to-own homes for you to browse and you can sign up for a trial membership for only $1. If you don't find value in the homes you can cancel the membership. Pretty simple.

I got the same phone call as you did, when I wrote them a nasty letter, the woman that called me back told a bald-faced lie and said that they don't have ANYbody sending phone calls to their members... how is that for a lie? I said, "Oh so, when he called the very NEXT day and said he was with rent to own. Org it was a lie? How coincidental is that? I signed up to your site and the next day someone calls me from YOUR site... she STILL said there was no phone call. Then claimed that the 49.60 was in their user agreement and that I needed to start reading websites before joining... I went STRAIGHT to their user agreement, and of course, there was no agree to pay 49.60, and my husband got on the phone and told her if I didn't get my money back we were calling the BBB and also the TBI... but we had already called the TBI and he told me to call them and tell them to send my money back and if I didn't hear from them to call him back... so my husband told them we wanted our money back or the TBI along with two of our friends from the FBI were going to get their hands in it... well, I didn't get the whole thing back but I DID get 44.00 of it back... and I wrote them and told them that the TBI AND the FBI would be getting my call back if I didn't get the rest of it by the 19th. I'll bet you didn't get that phone call either, we both just made up the same lie at the same time and don't even know each other. LOL I also found out that they are running a website that supposedly rents out apartments too, so I am reporting them to everyone I can to keep them from hurting anyone else financially. They changed all of their user information after our phone call, but we wrote it all down before they had a chance to change it... so if they don't give your money back, report them to the better business bureau... if enough people have the same truth about this diatribe of fraudulence... they will do something legal to them.

LIKE EVERYONE SAYS ABOUT THIS PLACE... I inadvertently got myself involved doing web searches looking to rent a home.
The pictures they show on the opening page, are NOT what you will find on the website. Also, they will use multiple identical pictures of the same place for different listings.
There is no way to actually connect or get in contact with the seller/renter (because there is NONE), to the home you see listed, or that interests you. That part doesn't exist.
So, when you cancel prior to the seven days, so you won't be billed $29.95 a month (and SAVE EVERYTHING that you gave them, you will need it.)? THAT is when the calls begin mercilessly. All hours of the day, night and weekends. It's unbelievable. ALSO, you will then begin getting endless other marketing calls e-mails, etc. Therein, lies what IS EXACTLY all that they are. A predatory, opportunistic, bordering illegal, completely unethical, and shady, deceitfully, horrible telemarketing scam. All that they do is steal your info, in that you give it to
Them under the false pretense that they pretend to be.
They harass you, steal from you if they keep billing, or worse yet, convince you that for more money you will get access to more "access." They provide NOTHING to you, but sell your info to other equally insidiously horrible websites. This is THE SOLE POINT & REVENUE of their business, getting that $29.95, your info, and selling it to other predatory marketers', lenders, con-artists. That's it. There's no service they provide. From a cell, you can block them, but on a land line you can't just block them.
Like everyone says... THESE PEOPLE ARE PREDATORS, CON ARTISTS, AND OPPORTUNISTS WHO PREY UPON THE MOST VULNERABLE OF THE POPULATION. Those who have less than stellar credit, those of a lower income... And, yet, of whom share the same hopes and dreams of being able to provide a better place to home for their kids and families as any other person. I have never written a review before... But, this place? DONT DO IT. I may have been foolish to use this site, but not ignorant, nor ill-informed of the law. These people violate ethics, laws, and standards. I hope that they get shut down before they do more harm.
Fortunately, my situation is unique, in that I do have one resource, and I hope the read this before they call me back for the ten millionth time... EVERY phone call is saved... So, I have a record of how many times they bug me, all the lies they said, and of the verification TWICE that I did to make sure they don't bill me that $29.95, (or more!), and I will press charges if they do.:-)
If this doesn't convince you to not click on that web site, nothing will, and I assure you, THERES nothing to see, just a bunch of recycled pictures, telling you about the same affordable housing in your area, that every other web site is telling you, for free.
THERE IS NO "Rent To Own," gorgeous, palatial palace that you see on their opening page for "All Credit Problems Accepted," FOR ONLY $399.95!:-) It does not exist.
Stay humble, work hard, fix that darn credit problem from your college days that haunts you still, and someday we WILL get the home of our dreams. But, not from RentToOwn.com, and not this way.
Finally, if you still feel compelled to foolishly follow through and click that "Sign Me UP," button, at least, do it with a prepaid gift card... that way they don't have your real info!:-) And, then, curiosity satisfied, leave your review. The same 'Ol thing!
P.S. I hope that the FBI & FTC that review "website review fraud" that are false (see fine print listing below this box), ALSO work just as hard advocate, investigate, and fine $350,000.00 to companies like this that defraud the vulnerabilities of people using sites like these. I hope they use it to refund back the money of those this company defrauded, put the predatory companies, of this company and the many like them, and certainly the many that will relentlessly be calling you when your info is sold by RentToOwn.com out of business FOREVER!

I tried seven day trial because only way to look into site and there promises of showing multiple rent to own locations. With in first hour I knew it was bogus because it one property listed. Tried to cancel multiple times with no success. After couple months of paying,, never going back on site, I have had my card deny payment to them. Somehow they still get there payment through and have to change card # each month. Im pissed, I find an email for them and send a message asking for cancellation, reasoning is unscrupulous practices and end with thank you... Eat S.. t. Well now my FB account is under review for statements or actions against community standards. I received notice day before Thanksgiving, then Thanksgiving, FB sends me proof to why and its my private email sent to a private business that has absolutely nothing to do with FB. Maybe im missing something, idk. Seems like someone has ties to some enoty, which in turn is abusing there power on a consumer who was conned from the get go!

I recently signed up for RentToOwn.org, hoping to find a great deal on a rent-to-own property. Unfortunately, the listings I received were all for North Carolina, and I live in South Carolina. I tried to change the city, but I couldn't figure out how to do it, so I decided to cancel my account after just two days.

However, three weeks later, I noticed that RentToOwn.org had charged my account. I was really upset about this, so I tried to call them several times. It took me four attempts to finally get through to someone, and when I did, they were not very helpful.

They told me that they would only refund me $25, and that it would take four days for the money to be returned to my account. If I wanted the full amount back, I would have to make a formal request, and it would be sent to their legal department.

I feel like I wasted my time and money on a site that doesn't have the correct information or access to what I'm looking for. I'm really disappointed in RentToOwn.org, and I would not recommend it to anyone. It's a total scam!

I gotta say, I wasn't too impressed with RentToOwn.org. Sure, some of the info was kinda helpful, but honestly, I coulda just spent the same amount of time talking to my lawyer and gotten better advice. I mean, these types of sites are basically just fancy-looking scams, if you ask me. They make themselves seem all legit and professional, but really they're just taking your money and giving you very little in return. It's like the Wizard of Oz - all smoke and mirrors, no substance.

Honestly, there are plenty of other websites out there that offer the same info for free. You don't need to waste your hard-earned cash on these so-called "rent-to-own" sites. My advice? Do your research before you invest any money in RentToOwn.org. And remember, nothing in life is truly free - if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So be careful out there, folks. S.

I have had a terrible experience with RentToOwn.org. They have been calling me non-stop, trying to get me to sign up for credit repair services. Even after I spoke to one of these companies, which turned out to be a scam, RentToOwn.org continued to call me. They did nothing to help me and I ended up having to charge back my payment after they started taking money from my account without my permission.

I am extremely frustrated with RentToOwn.org and their persistent calls. I have told them multiple times to stop calling me, but I still receive calls from them twice a day. I am on the Do Not Call list and they should have checked the registry before contacting me. If they continue to call me, I will have no choice but to take legal action against them.

I would strongly advise against dealing with RentToOwn.org. They are not a trustworthy company and they do not have any legitimate rent-to-own properties available. Do not give them your phone number or any personal information.

RentToOwn.org is a website that claims to help people find their dream home through a rent-to-own program. However, my experience with this website has been nothing short of frustrating. Once I entered my information on their website, I was bombarded with calls from an automated system. I received calls from different local numbers in my area, which made it difficult for me to ignore them as I have a teenager and need to answer calls related to business.

The worst part is that I couldn't even tell anyone to take me off their call list. I tried to contact them through their website, but I didn't receive any response. It's the most annoying freaking system ever. I felt like I was being harassed by their automated system. I would receive 7 to 8 calls a day, and it was driving me crazy.

I did some research on RentToOwn.org and found out that many people had similar experiences. Nobody said on their reviews that they helped them get a home. It made me suspicious of their claims. They will try to get you to pay to get your credit fixed, even if you already have good credit. They were too persistent that I get it anyway, which made me doubt their intentions.

When I rejected their program, all I got was calls ALL DAY LONG AND EVERY DAY! It was frustrating and made me feel like I was being scammed. I would advise anyone considering RentToOwn.org to be careful and do their research before giving them any personal information. The automated system is a nightmare, and their claims seem too good to be true.

I signed up with RentToOwn.org hoping to find a great deal on a home in my area. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find that there were no options available in my location. I decided to cancel my account, but to my surprise, I was charged the full rate again. I immediately called the company to request a refund, but unfortunately, it never happened.

For the next three months, I called the company 2-3 times a week, hoping to get my money back. Each time, I was met with apologies and promises that my card would be refunded. However, nothing ever came of it. Frustrated and fed up, I eventually had to shut down my card to prevent any further charges.

One of the most frustrating things about dealing with RentToOwn.org was the lack of helpful customer service. Every time I called, I was met with someone who seemed to be working from home, with kids running around in the background. They never seemed to pay attention to my issues and would often promise to call me back or refund my money within a few days. Unfortunately, these promises were never kept.

Overall, I would not recommend RentToOwn.org to anyone looking for a rent-to-own home. The lack of available options and poor customer service make it a frustrating and disappointing experience.

I just wanted to share my experience with RentToOwn.org. I reached out to them because I was interested in renting to own a home. They contacted me twice to try to move forward with the process. However, I quickly realized that if you have good credit, they won't talk to you. It's really frustrating because they don't disclose this on their website. So, if you have good credit, don't waste your time with RentToOwn.org.

It seems like they only want to work with people who have bad credit because they want to sign them up for a credit repair program that will cost them money. This is really misleading, especially for first-time home buyers who are so excited to finally buy a new home. It's really sad that companies like this can take advantage of people who are just trying to achieve their dreams.

I think it's important to be aware of companies like RentToOwn.org and to do your research before working with them. Don't let them take advantage of you and your hard-earned money. Shame on them for misleading people and not being upfront about their requirements.

This company, RentToOwn.org, is not a good choice for those looking to rent a home. The people who work there are difficult to understand and there is a lot of noise in the background, making it hard to communicate effectively. When I called to inquire about renting a home and what steps I needed to take, they immediately asked for my credit card information and charged me $1 before even providing any information.

I was promised access to listings of homes for rent to own, but when I tried to access them online, I was unable to do so for a week. Despite this, RentToOwn.org charged my credit card $49.60 to start a new trial, even though I was still in the so-called "free trial" period. When I asked for my money back, they refused and told me it would take up to 10 days to cancel my account.

In the end, I paid $100 for nothing. I would recommend going through a real estate agent instead of using RentToOwn.org. It's important to be cautious of companies that don't have a local area code, as they may not be trustworthy. Overall, my experience with RentToOwn.org was frustrating and disappointing.

I was in search of a new home and stumbled upon RentToOwn.org. I was excited to fill out the information page to get more details about their services, but before I could even do that, I received a call from someone who was difficult to understand. It was a Sunday morning, and I was surprised to receive a call at that time. The person on the other end was very pushy and wanted my credit card information right away. They claimed that having my credit card information would speed up the process of finding a rent-to-own home. I had never heard of such a thing before, but I decided to play along and keep them on the phone for a while. I could hear the frustration in their voice as I asked them questions and put them off until the next day. My wife and I needed to discuss this further before making any decisions.

The person on the phone said they would call back, and I am eagerly waiting for their call. I hope they are ready for my "Marine, you've pissed me off" attitude when they call back. During the conversation, they also tried to sell me credit repair services from a law firm for the tidy sum of $59.95. I knew right away that this was a scam and decided to avoid anything to do with these people.

UPDATE: I found out that the law firm they were trying to sell me was Lexington L.L.C. I would advise anyone to stay away from them as well. It's a shame that there are people out there trying to take advantage of others who are just trying to find a place to call home.

I was lookin' for some good deals on real estate and came across RentToOwn.org. At first, I was a bit skeptical 'cause they don't give ya all the info on their listings until ya sign up for a membership. The membership costs around 45 bucks a month, but they do offer a 7 day trial for just a buck. So, I decided to give it a shot and signed up for the trial.

Once I got access to the site, I saw some prices that were just too good to be true. I started gettin' a bit nervous and decided to do some research. I found a bunch of bad reviews and decided to cancel my membership right away. I didn't wanna take any chances with these folks.

The reviews said that even after ya cancel, they'll keep chargin' ya. So, I made sure to cancel my credit card too, just to be safe. I don't want these people takin' my hard earned money!

Overall, I gotta say I'm pretty disappointed with RentToOwn.org. They should be more upfront about their listings and not try to trick people into signin' up for a membership. And the fact that they keep chargin' ya even after ya cancel is just plain wrong. I hope they get shut down soon so they can't keep scammin' people.

I recently had an experience with RentToOwn.org that left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. I had purchased a Playstation 4 from them, along with a smart TV and other items, all of which were paid in full every month. However, when I tried to resell the Playstation 4, I was accused of removing the serial number from the product.

Now, why on Earth would I remove the serial number from a product that I had paid an obscene amount for? It simply doesn't make sense. I had no intention of stealing the product for extra cash, and the fact that all of my purchases were paid in full every month should speak to my character.

To make matters worse, the Playstation 4 was rarely used and had not been moved since the day I started paying for it. The only reason to remove a serial number is to prevent the product from being tracked as stolen property. As I was not the one who removed the serial number, the only reasonable conclusion is that it was done by RentToOwn.org themselves.

Overall, I was extremely disappointed with my experience with RentToOwn.org. The lack of a serial number on my Playstation 4 made it impossible to resell, which was a major inconvenience. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking to rent or purchase electronics.

They signed me up without my knowledge and take money from my account and i need it back hoe do i stop this and how do i get my money back. I want removed from that companies site. I am not paying fot something i know nothing about. If i did that to someone it would be robery.

Stop trying to get money off my credit card. Or I'm going straight to the US goverment to have you shut down for good. If I get one more thing on my card that you are trying to take money off my card I will have you shut down. I'm taking legal action today.

I was just charged almost 50$ for a service I'm not even using cause I'm not looking to rent to own I'm just looking to rent and I did not sign up for this transaction. I'm pregnant, out of work just trying to find a bigger house to rent to prepare for my new addition. Thos money was taken from me from a bed I'm supposed to order, I really need my money back please 🙏🙏🙏

I was looking for rental homes and found RentToOwn website. I entered my information and few minutes later I received a call from someone claiming to be a real estate agent. The person asked if I was interested in buying a house. I said yes and few days later I received a list of homes for me to rent. I was so excited and happy that I found this website. But later I received a call from my bank and was told that someone charged my credit card. They actually took $20 from my card without my permission! When I contacted customer service I was told that they took $20 because I didn't pay for the list of homes. Don't do business with them! It's a scam!

I joined and canceled within days of joining and they still charged my card the recurring fees. I called the telephone number on my bank statement, [protected], and got a message saying that this mailbox is not set up. I went back to the website to click on the "contact us" link only to discover that this link does not exist on their site. I did not discover this issue until a Saturday afternoon and when I called my bank, they refunded the charges but said that I needed to close my current debit card and get a new one. I now must wait 5 - 7 business days before I get my new card. It is clear that RENTTOOWN.ORG only wants your money and NOTHING else. AVOID THIS SCAMMER.
