      I've taken music lessons from the Snellville ,Ga location for 5 years. There has been changes with corporate, local store management and the lesson instructors within the last year and not for the good of the customer. Seems to be a communication issue. There was an issue of being charged for your lesson when the instructor was out.I was not informed about this was told it had to be made up they no longer credited you the following month. I gave my notice to stop my lessons on Aug 20th a long with a note. The instructor was out 7/19/22 and 8/16/22. I even had one more class but I forfeited it. I don't tolerate lame and rude behavior.
      They can't even figure out who's suppose to let the student know when the instructor is not going to be in.
      Appears after being a customer of 5 years they could care less rather you stay or go. I called the main office about it and was told I had to call the store. Went back into the store they said we can't refund you.Option was to make up the lessons.Thats not going to work since the instructor and I know longer speak to each other. I refuse to go back into that store anymore. I feel I should be paid back for the 2 lessons I was charged for when the instructor was out. If he didn't know that they weren't crediting the customer back then Music and Arts needs to fix the problem and reimburse me.Its totally wrong what they did.I do think the manager of the store has no say in this matter. They are stuck with what corporate management says. So they gave me know other choice but to file a complaint.

      8/30/2022, Signed up Flute lessons and paid $147.00 as fee. The first lesson was scheduled on 09/03/2022 at 10:30 am.

      09/02/2022 evening, I got a cancellation email from Music and Art. I called the store and learned the instructor canceled my schedule due to her labor day weekend trip.

      09/10/2022 at 10:50 am. After 20 mins of lesson schedules, I learned the instructor would not come to the store for the lesson. I talked to one clerk at the store and let her know what has been happening with the instructor. She agreed to cancel all upcoming lessons and refund all fees. She also told me she had to submit a refund request to Music and Art HR and would take one or two weeks to see a refund.

      09/10/2022 at 2 pm. I revisited the Ellicott City store and asked some questions to another clerk, and I learned the previous clerk who helped earlier did not submit a refund request to Music and Art HR, so the clerk had to submit a refund request through their internal system. Of course, she agreed to cancel all lessons and refund full money.

      09/14/2022, I got a voice message from the Ellicott City store, and they asked when I could reschedule the Flute lessons. I called the store back immediately and talked to another clerk and explained what happened. He could not find any information from the system about my cancellations, so he had to cancel all upcoming lessons scheduled for me again. He also told me he was not sure if someone submitted a refund request to their HR or not because he was not allowed to see them and asked me to wait one more week.

      It's 09/23/2022 and I am still getting reminder emails from Music and Art that I have scheduled lessons on every Friday.

      My daughter rented a violin from ********************** for the school year 20-21. The school has a relationship with Music and Arts that delivers the equipment to the school and picks up the equipment at the end of the year. I began receiving notices of rental payments past due in the summer/fall of 2021. I called Music and Arts multiple times to tell them that the equipment was left at the school to be picked up by the Music and Arts Rep per the practice and that I no longer had the equipment. Both times the individual I spoke to said they would be contacting the school to retrieve the equipment. I didn't hear anything further and the person did not call me back to tell me there was still an issue. A few months ago I received a call from a collections company about owing over $1000 for equipment that was returned. I immediately called the Customer Service number for Music and Arts and asked for an immediate call back from a supervisor. I never received a call. Again, I received a threatening call from a collections agency. I immediately called Music and Arts again and requested to speak with a supervisor. I was told they could not transfer me to a supervisor or create a ticket and refused to give me the name of a supervisor or manager. I have made every attempt to resolve this issue over the last year and was told they would resolve the issue. A company should have a way for concerns and issues to be addressed instead of hiding behind "customer service". If this is how the company works I will share my concerns with our school district as they should not want to work with a company/be associated with a company that has such poor customer service.,

      I order an item on October 4th 2021
      See order number on attached document

      I never received any order status or follow up. I used the websites online contact form 3 times but only received a reply once on April 121th. See attached communication. Representative stated that the order number wasn't "current" and asked for the item information. I replied with a screenshot of my order. I never received a reply.

      I have called customer service 3 different times (most recently this past week). After waiting for a long time on the phone, the customer reps stated that they would email me with an update regarding the order status after they got more information from someone in the warehouse? I confirmed my email address with them each time and have never received a follow up email.

      The card that I charged the item on is no longer active, so I will need a refund in another form.

      It is unreasonable that I have had to wait this long, try to hunt down information (for almost a year) and never receive ANY information. It is also unusual that the online rep and the reps that I called seemed to have no idea about anything, including being under the impression that made order didn't exist (one of the phones stated that there was no order in my account until I read off the order number). I was charged, so clearly the order went through. This is the worst experience I have ever had with any business.

      My son was taking saxophone lessons during the summer. We scheduled the lessons to stop before school started. My wife and I spoke to he store in person and everything was fine. We got automatically charged $140 on our visa for September. We did not want this and they said they would take care of it. Well it is 16 September 2022 and the money has not been refunded to my visa. The stores help line cannot help us and do not appear to know anything about the business. Please help facilitate this problem for me. We were given no receipts and have taken no more saxophone lessons. I just want the store to refund th3 $140 to my visa account.

      On July 9, 2021, I rented a flute for my daughter (order number **************). I rented it from Music & Arts, Riverhead, NY. The store told me that I did not need to return it to the same location and could return it to any other Music & Arts store.
      I returned the flute on October 10, 2021, to the store in Paramus, NJ. I was not given a receipt for returning the flute.
      Last month, it seems that they have been billing me the monthly rental fee of $32.59 each month, despite having returned the flute. I have called their main customer service twice, as well as the store in Paramus, NJ. They have indicated that without a return receipt, they cannot stop the continuing charge. They say their billing records have no record of the flute. I asked to speak to the manager and the customer service representative indicated that there is no manager...
      I disputed the monthly charge for August 2022 with my credit card company. They honored the dispute. Now in September 2022, I find that the Music & Arts have billed me twice - once for September 2022, and again, presumably for the monthly charge in August 2022, which was disputed.
      This is unbelievable. They have the flute, and believe they are justified in charging me the monthly fee indefinitely. They refuse to do a manual search for the flute. Presumably the order number would have a flute serial number associated with it. By now the flute probably has been rented to someone else - they should be able to search by the serial number.

      My daughter is taking band at her middle school in Titusville Fl. Teacher sent us a form to use this company to rent a flute. This is by far the worst company I have ever dealt with! No customer service and I have tried every avenue! No delivery of instrument! No email stating when it will be delivered! Nothing! It appears this is the only way to get companies attention!

      We rented a student violin from Music & Arts approximately three years ago and returned it at the end of the school year. Music & Arts continued to charge my credit card even after we returned the instrument. I contacted the company, explained that I returned the instrument, and was told that they lost our paperwork. I also contacted my credit card company and explained the situation. Music & Arts is continuing to harass me for payment. I have received a series of letters in the mail and phone calls from (800) 676-7760, including most recently a letter and phone call today. The letter says we have a prior balance of $210.64. They included a Monthly Rental fee of $21.64, an LDW Recurring charge of $5.42, and a Statement Fee of $1.50. They are seeking a total of $239.23 and included a threatening message in all caps: "Our records indicate a past due balance. Payment in full is due upon receipt to avoid further collections and late fees. Thank you." The phone message also states that "it is imperative" that I return their call today. I am asking the BBB to contact the company and instruct them to stop contacting me and to change their business practices so no one else suffers from their tactics going forward.

      Jessica,

      As I previously indicated, we returned our rental long ago. By your employee's own admission, your company lost its records related to our rental. Your company's poor record-keeping is not my responsibility.

      The excessive debt incurred by your greedy private equity owners that led to your company's recent bankruptcy is also not my responsibility.

      If your company keeps calling me and sending letters to me, I will keep filing complaints with the BBB. I will not be intimidated by your company's aggressive collection practices.

      I hope that the BBB launches a thorough investigation into your company's business practices which, in my opinion, are predatory.

      This article provides more detail about your parent company, Guitar Center. The article describes your parent company Guitar Center as "a company buried alive in debt not from operations but from private equity buyouts and financial industry shenanigans".

      *********************************************************
      I hope that the BBB puts an end to your company's predatory practices so no other customers have to endure the harassment your company has inflicted on my family and many other honest customers.

      We purchased a *********** trumpet from this business back in May of 2019. At the end of December 2021 we took the trumpet in to Music & Arts for extensive repair. Someone had stepped on the trumpet at my son's High School. We took the trumpet back to Music & Arts as at the time we were still making payments on the trumpet and thought it would be covered- it was not. We left the trumpet for repairs and spent $200 + in repairs cost to get it fixed. We picked the Trumpet up over winter break 2021 and the trumpet was not used for about two weeks. When my son went to use it he discovered that it was still not working correctly-an issue with the valves. We took the trumpet back to Music & Arts were the store employee proceeded to blame us for the valves not working- they took it back in again to "repair" it. When we received the trumpet back in January 2022 the trumpet was still not working and we realized we would need to take it back and have it repaired. My son used a loaner trumpet from his High School the rest of the year. Over the summer my son participated in Drum Corps International where he was gone all summer and issued one of their trumpets. He returned a couple of weeks ago and tested his *********** but continued to have issues. Because of the poor customer service at Music & Arts we took the trumpet on Monday, September 5th to another Music repair shop. We got a quote back today. They have advised us that the repairs previously done on the trumpet were not done correctly. This shop has told us that the way Music & Arts repaired the trumpet damaged it further. The valves were not fixed correctly and it appears like it was done in a rush. The new repair shop has advised is that they will try and fix the additional damage done by Music & Arts but that the trumpet will never be 100% again due to the faulty repairs. (I can get verification from this company of this information) I am seeking a replacement trumpet of the same quality do the faulty repairs of M&A.

      I contacted the company, music and arts per their response to call the customer service number, I called September 13th, they told me there answer was not ready and to call back the next day September 14th. I waited until today, September 16th and they are still investigating. In the mean time the company that was repairing the trumpet for a third time due to music and arts faulty repairs has returned and it and stated the valve casings are beyond repair. I am renewing my request for a replacement trumpet of the same value. Please see attached receipt from company I recently took trumpet for repairs.

      The business has still not offered any resolution after almost a month. I have called for updates several times and every time I call their customer service representative tells me they are still reviewing it and will call me back. No one from the business had called me back let alone offer a resolution.
