I haven't had dealings with the buisiness in over a year now and all of a sudden they are calling me every day. I have no dues to be paid. They are harassing me. I'm tired of it. I once before asked them to stop contacting me and that lasted until now.Business Response

Me and my husband purchased the couch from Aaron last month in December. We have the couch for less than 30 days when we noticed thatthe couch had bedbugs. We contact the errands immediately to remove couch due to infestation Aaron came out got the couch we asked, can they exterminate due to causing the problem? We have not yet got any information. We have lost beds, dressers, clothes, and have many sleepless nights due to this issue we have beenworking calmly to come up with a great solution that was best for both of us. They have left us with no other choice of help. We have lost everything and at risk of losing our home due to having bedbugs in our lease is evaluation. Errands do not even want to pay for extermination. They do not want to pay to replace our beds. We are sleeping on air mattresses all because we purchased the couch less than 30 days ago.Business Response

Sanautica,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We take matters of cleanliness and quality very seriously and appreciate the opportunity to address this issue. As part of our commitment to customer satisfaction, we promptly arranged for a professional pest inspection at your location. The inspection results confirmed that no bedbugs, dead or alive, were found. To ensure further diligence, we also had the pest control company inspect the living room set from our store, and once again, no evidence of bedbugs was found. Based on these thorough inspections, we have determined that there is no evidence to support the presence of bedbugs related to our furniture. Therefore, at this time, we consider this matter resolved. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. We appreciate your business and remain committed to providing quality products and service.
Kind regards

I paid for some furniture at the beginning of November I asked for a refund shortly after in November its now January I have not got the money back. They told me if they came and picked up the living room set that they did deliver. I would get a full refund for the living room and bedroom set which they did not deliver. I never got a bedroom set that I paid for now. I have returned the other furniture just to get my refund for the bedroom suit cause they said it was paid on the same ticket.Therefore, I cant receive a refund for the bedroom suit because I paid for the living room suit on the same ticket so they came and took the living room suit that I wanted and paid for in order for me to get the refund on the bedroom suit and I havent gotten either still Ive involved ***** the store manager whos in confident who promised me a refund in five business days in November Im disabled. Im gonna fix income. I canceled the purchase because my disability check was cut now Im suffering financially all because of a bad consumer choice due to false advertisement and they stole at least $400 of my money and Im very upset. Please help me get my money back. They said I can have it but they wont give it to me. Please help me resolve this nightmare I was wrong on so many levels. I paid on something I never received. I was promised a refund I feel scammed. I feel lied too. I feel given the runaround now they took my money and I have no merchandise cause they had to come take the living room set to give me the money back for the bedroom set as you can see on the ticket I paid for both. I went and logged into my account and I cant even see that activity. Im so upset. I had to involve the regional manager in ******** and its still not resolved. ***** and ***** ***** is the regional manager in golf course. Please help me.Business Response

After paying my.promise to pay, I called the local office to have my weekly payments paused until they are actually due (once you do a promise to pay, your renewing the lease, which adjusts your weekly payments-the kicker is that you have to call the local office and have them pause your payments). I was on the phone with the *** for about 15 minutes while she tried to figure out how to do this. At the end of the conversation, she said it was done. I log into my account and my next due date is 1/18/25? How is this possible when the same system said I was paid up until 2/1/25? There has got to be a better system in place that is more accurate and more training for the employees. I also want my account to reflect my actual due date as the current information is inaccurate and withdrawaling funds from an account that is not actually owed is fraudulent.Business Response

This company stated on the commercial radio ad that if you have a problem making a payment call and they can do a payment extension. I have tried reasoning with them but, no luck. I've been with this company paying for a computer I purchased new for college online for a year now. I also had a membership plan that I purchased for times when I could not make a payment on time. The insurance was supposed to cover this but they told me something different when I asked to use the benefit. Also, they have debited transactions from me without my consent on one occasion. I have contacted their corporate office and they told me on two occasions that the regional manager would get in touch with me to solve the issue of them not wanting me to make payment extension. I pay my payment with my loan disbursement from financial aid.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Aarons is not being totally honest. On two occasions I have called corporate to resolve. Corporate informed me that the regional manager would contact me and never have done so at all. I only contacted him to ask him for time to pay my bill to get my account back in good standards and talk about their commercial that states if you have a problem paying your bill on time- its no problem you can call and they will work with you on your payment management. I tried this and told me I would have to wait four months before getting a payment extension. I dont understand them but I have six payments left on my merchandise and I will not purchase anything from there again.
Sincerely,

I am rent a PlayStation 5 from Aarons and they overcharging me for a PlayStation 5 Slim and I feel I was deceived so this is what I want I feel that they owe me a free month on this that is the right thing they do is give me a free month. This what they did they advertised PS5 Slim and they charged me for it I have a PS5 the box says it's a PS5 not a PS5 Slim so what I want is a free month, plus I want $20-$30 off what they are charging me. This is false advertisement. I even took the PlayStation to gamers alley and he told me it wasn't a slim they told me that Aarons screwed me. If they don't do this for me I'm going to legal action and this is typical from this store the employees think they have the right to disrespect their customers on the phone and their manager ***** has done thing about this issue. I have complained numerous times about his employees disrespecting me and my husband on the phone and ***** has done nothing. He should be fired! The District manager did nothing when I complained about the disrespect and he refused to do anything I also told Aarons that after I'm done paying off what I have now from I will not bring business with them anymore I will be calling my attorney.Business Response
