Called the office about a refrigerator that went out . Someone was sent out here to take a look at the refrigerator and every week we called them farmers kept giving us the run around on a refrigerator we purchased 6 months prior. Payments made every month on time for this account farmers never bought a refrigerator and everything in the refrigerator we lost I think there should be a refund on this account and would truly appreciate farmers to never call this number again the action was disrespectful and was not acceptable. I've never dealt with company ever that treated their customers like thisBusiness Response

I purchased a sofa from the ********** ** store, and planned on paying cash. The Salesperson told me they had 0% financing for 12 months if I qualified. They ran my credit, joked about how high my credit score was, and set up delivery. A few days later, Cindy called and said that there was something wrong with the contract I signed, and they needed me to sign a new one before the sofa was delivered. When I got home, I reviewed the contract. It was correct based on my original discussion with Cindy (0% for 12 months). I called and spoke to Jessica. We went round and round about it and then Jessica said they wouldn't honor my contract and would cancel my order. I called Jessica back and told her I wanted to speak with the store manager. Cindy called me back and told me the only way I'd qualify for the 0% interest for 12 months was if my purchase was over $699 and I put 7% down. I informed her that my purchase was over $900 and I put 10% down. She reviewed the contract, said it looked correct, and she'd call me back.
She did not call back, so I thought everything was good. On Monday *****/23), I received a call that they were delivering the sofa. I told them that's fine, that my husband is home. They immediately called me back and told me that I had to be home to receive the sofa, because I had to sign a new contract at delivery. I told them that we had already been over this, and I'm not signing a new contract. Cindy got on the phone and said they would charge me interest, but I would get the interest back after my final payment. I told her the current contract is what we agreed on; What they were trying to do is illegal; They need to honor the original contract. Cindy finally said that they would go with the original contract and deliver the sofa. I honestly believe she relented because I said it was illegal. They did deliver it, but what they tried to do is bad customer service, and possibly attempted fraud.Business Response

Farmers Home Furniture has been unable to resolve my furniture concerns and it’s been almost 2 years. I currently have a sectional, bed, & recliner through them. I’ve had my recliner for less than a year and within 2 weeks of owning it was basically falling apart and it took over 6 months to get a replacement chair although I always select to add insurance to my purchase. Prior to the recliner concern we let them know the legs on the sectional were cracked, some of the cushions were separating at the seams, the cushions had gone flat, and a seam in the corner on the back cushion that connects to the couch has a hole. we finally continued to reach out to them about the recliner they finally sent a service guy out who assessed the couch & recliner. He took photos to submit the claim. He indicated that they would either send all replacement cushions or they would replace the cushions covers and restuff them, he would sew the back where it’s come apart at the seam, and he would get replacement legs for the sectional. Well he left without sewing the couch and we never heard anything until we reached back out to Farmers again.Finally they decided to replace the recliner and when they replaced the recliner they brought new legs for the sectional but they are different legs and make the sectional sit lower to the ground. I have a voicemail from the manager on **** saying she believes she has a resolution to our problems and should be taken care of within a week. Never receive a follow up unless we continue to call. And again, **** * I was told we would have a resolution within the week. Still nothing but they call me Wednesday to tell me about these amazing sales they have going on & ask if there is anything I need or want. I politely reply by saying no not at this time as I still have not gotten a resolution to my concerns with my sectional. The lady said she understood and would take my name and talk to the manager and call me back.Still haven’t heard back.Business Response

I sent this company a cease and desist letter. I asked them not to call my job, my references, my cell phone and not to come to my home. I advised them I am going through a debt consolidation company and provided them with that information also. They have since texted me from a cells phone and also continue to contact me even though I requested them not to do so.Business Response

I bought a bedroom set and a game system from farmers home furniture. The manager was super nice and had told me I was eligible for the insurance program that would cover my payments if I had a health issue. Well I had to have some *** ********* and when I called he told me to just email the note and I did. Then a few days later he had left and a manager named brittney became manager and she informed me that I did not have that insurance and I would need to figure my payments out. Having **** kids and being off work on top of surgeries I was *******. I go back to work this month but they are turning me to collections this month and threatening to garnish wages. I would understand if I was just lazy or just not paying. There was many workers in the store at the end of 2022 when I purchased this and they all heard me ask if I had the insurance incase I had to have ******* and nobody will step up and tell the truth. This was not my fault. Poor customer care and I will have to suffer the consequences of their actions now. Do not shop in this store in ************ ********Business Response

I purchased a sofa and recliner May of 2022. Almost immediately the sofa was not aligned properly and I called the local store to have someone come out and look at it. August 2022 was when someone finally came out to look at it. They informed me that they would have to order a part and it should take about 4-6 weeks. In the mean time the recliner I purchased is leaning to the side and the foot rest will not close. Here I am a year later and I still have no part for the sofa and No one has been out to look at the chair. I have been paying every month for busted furniture. At this point I want it all picked up, yhe money I paid returned, and my contract canceled and removed from my credit reportBusiness Response

I entered into a consumer credit transaction with Farmer's Furniture home store in ******* **. My payments are due on the first of each month. Federal Law states late is considered 30 days. I made a payment on time stamp of ***** **, 2023 at 4:46 p.m. which indicates to me that I made the payment before the 30 days mark. According to Federal Code 15 USC 1666b - Timing of payments: A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637(b) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. Farmers are not doing their due diligence to send a periodic statement which they are required by law to send to the consumer for any consumer credit transaction. The creditor is only required to credit the payment as of the date of receipt. I have a receipt and a transaction ID of ********** and a confirmation number of ******* I made this payment on the website which authorizes the creditor to effect the payment on ***** **, 2023.Business Response
