My name is ******* ********. I currently do not have an account with **********************. However, in the attempt to collect a payment or property the representative is damaging my property. I spoke with the local store rep/manager ******* on 10/14/2024 to advise of the situation only for the gentleman to return the next day and due the exact same thing. I advised them once/twice when they came that the party they were looking for was not here. I work from home and the continuous knocking and laying on the doorbell jeopardizes my job. My ask is for a replacement of my Ring doorbell. It was purchased for my safety because of2 break-ins. Due to the damage, my safety has been compromised.(picture enclosed after the fact and current view) I have a whole door that they are knocking on that the tags can be placed on instead of my car and ring doorbell.Again, the resolution I am looking for is the replacement of my doorbell and to be reimbursed for carwash to remove glue from my windshield from door tag. My contact number is ************.Business Response

I am renting a table I thought was brand new . I was paying $119 a month but I had an issue when I raised the table up to place a rug underneath it had scratches all on the legs back around in th month of August or September 2024 when I made my payment of $90. I was shipped first off a chair that had been cracked when putting it together and finally took it back and the manager said an employee whom was damaging furniture was terminated. She said why did I just say something at that I told her I had lifted up to put the rug under it. I had got an email to lower my payments to $89 month and then it is with 17 months and I am like how is that possible when I had made initial payments of $119 for some . How is the so and how can my payments be corrected to have what I already paid in to bring my months down. I feel that I am overcharged for some a used furniture.Business Response

Aarons Rent to ********* City Ga ****** Regional manager, ****** Store Manager. Harrassment, brought a fake arrest warrant to my door on 10/05/2024. Police had to be called. Threatening to have me arrested. Telling me to go to the bank and get cash to make payment. Attempting to collect payments at my door. I ***orted after I tried to pay them using my card ending 9364 ( which I gave ****** over the phone on 10/05/24 and The *** who came to my door on 10/05/24 I ended with declined charges I did not make. Prompting my bank to shut my card down and send another one. ****** is very condescending and talks very reckless and has no customer service. Since they keep threatening me with jail then so be it. I dont take kindly to threats and you cant make me get cash from a Teller to pay you. They are very harassing and the police has to be called. When asked to leave my property they wont leave. The next time Ill defend my home. As they come off as attempted robbers or rapists. I have children here: they even tried to question my kids before when I was not home. Ive even returned the dryer I was not using. Wait on my new debit card or take me to court. You waited this long you can wait a few days longer. Ive attached the three complaints Ive had to file previously. Im tired of the threats.Business Response

We regret being unable to reach Ms. Lewis; however, we are diligently assessing each situation. Due to the unsafe conditions of the property and evidence from photos and customer statements, we have closed the agreements and written off the property as a disaster. This ensures no risk to our team and relieves Ms. Lewis of any further obligations.

Aarons has repeatedly overcharged my accounts when I pay using ezpay.They claim they have came to my residence and yet there was never any tag that they had done so.I have had the worst experience because of ****,I believe is the manager at this store's location.He is not honest at all and he calls me multiple times throughout the day, which I consider harassment. I no longer feel comfortable paying using ez pay because everything I do ,I'm being overcharged.Business Response

I was fully paid up on my bill. The driver of the transit van drove into my driveway as I was backing out and hit my car. He then gets out and starts saying to me "we now have a bigger problem because you hit my van" even though i was already backing out. I have dents in the back of my car because of this and my back was messed up for about a month. I've tried reaching out to Aarons and ****** ***** stated that he would get back to me. It's been a month. I've heard nothing. I am now refusing to make a payment to Aarons as this is now ridiculous. I want this situation to be rectified and if I have to get a lawyer to do so, I will. But I will not be paying a dime to this company.Business Response

Months ago, I rented a 75 inch TV from Aarons and **********, **************, The second day I had the TV I noticed there was a hairline crack in the left side bottom very little, but there was a crack. I contacted *****, Hes the one who answered when I called and I told him you guys just brought this to me and on the left side of my TV. Theres a very little hairline crack very tiny. I sent him a picture of it, He said he could hardly see it, but he said if its not affecting the TV and I dont see any lines in it and the picture is good then just to keep it until I see any lines or if the TV is screwed up in anyway I can call back and they will come get it. well, I noticed months later that the TV crack was getting bigger and I had lines in the bottom of my TV. I called them back and said they were going to come get someone to pick it up and they will give me a replacement until this gets fixed, they never gave me a replacement when they came to pick it up, nevertheless I just heard from Aarons today September 27. A lady called me and said Aarons is holding me responsible for a TV. They said I broke. I told the Lady from corporate the whole story the second day I had it I had a hairline crack and ***** told me if it got worse to call him and they would replace it. Thats exactly what I did. They never gave me a replacement. They never called me to tell me my TV got fixed after I spent all that money and I just heard from the lady I said September ************************************************ accountable. I am not going to be accountable for a TV. I did not break, Especially when I complained about the TV the second day I had it nevertheless they never brought me a replacement TV and never told me when my TV was gonna be fixed. I just heard from them saying theyre gonna hold me accountable. The guy I talked to from Aarons is very corrupt. They should not do business like that. Im not gonna be held Accountable on anything I complain about when I first got it..Business Response

I purchased a sofa from Aaron's on December 29. 2023. Per the agreement if an item is damaged they will come out and repair it and if it can't be repaired they will replace it. In March I was vacuuming out the sofa when I removed the cushions the middle cushion we torn from a staple sticking out. The repairman said he would request a new cushion from the manager and get the cushion replaced. Incidently, when I called in to report the tear, ***** told me to nail the staple back in. It had been a couple of weeks and I had not heard from anyone. I called back to the office and spoke with the manager who said I had to speak with ******** in the warehouse. ******** gave me a hard time then requested a picture to an email, ********************************* my email came back undeliverable. I called again spoke to *******, who said she was the manager and was ordering it right now as we speak. She'll call me when it comes in. Waited weeks. Called back in spoke to Mivette sad she remembered speaking to me and was waiting to hear back from them. It's been month's and I have not heard back from anyone. Called corporate office today. Let's see if they do anything.Business Response

They called me once, two weeks ago after called customer support to file a complaint. Again saying "Waiting on the cushion." It's been 3 month's. I just called them and their computers are down and are unable to assist me. It's just one on going lie with them. If they can't replace my torn cushion then I want them to just consider the sofa as paid. I already paid more then it's worth, but to have a damaged sofa is something else. They should get a D for customer service. I have made all my payments and time and they are very rude every time I call and try to find out about the replacement cushion they promised 3 month's ago.Business Response
