      On April 14th, I purchased numerous brand-new items from ACE rent-to-own. I also paid for delivery and setup. However, they created multiple contracts instead of just one contract for the items I purchased. When the items were delivered, they were not set up, unwrapped, or unboxed as I paid for. The couch is faulty and missing the legs. This was bought as a set with side tables, a coffee table, and lamps. They are telling me that I cannot return an item and get a refund or credit to my account, but they can replace it. They are saying I will still have to pay for two months. This product came faulty. I don't want it. I can find better elsewhere and get what I actually pay for. They also charged me for a TV for which they have no signed contract for. They need to come and pick up the couch, side tables, coffee table, lamps, and TV, all of which are still in the original packaging as they were delivered, and refund or credit me the down payment and additional payments I made on these items.

      I have paid over $1000 for a PS5 and have been HARASSED every week since I started paying. I told them when I went in it would be every two weeks they would be paid, and every two weeks they have been paid the FULL amount. They call every day, show up at my house no matter how many times I explain to them I pay every two weeks. Now they took away my ability to pay at all unless I go in and talk with them. I do not want to go in and talk with them. I work nights so my schedule does not line up to do that, and I have TOLD them this numerous times.

      Even though ********* same as cash period has expired, we are willing to extend the cash price and apply all the rent that ******* has paid towards the cash price, which amounts to a massive reduction in the total ******* will pay to acquire ownership.. This leaves a balance off $222.20 plus tax for a total of $237.75 with tax. We have turned back on the on line payment option. We ask that ******* get the account paid in full as soon as possible, and he is welcome to pay every two weeks.. If ******* would like to speak to me he may dial me at ************* **** **** or **** ******** is the store manager at the Fremont store and can be reached at ************ if he has any questions.

      I have spoken with Ms. ***** myself this morning. She had some questions and had me look into her business for her to make certain she had not overpaid. I conducted a thorough audit and verified she had not overpaid. She had some other questions, which i answered for her and she told me she was satisfied with the situation.

      I went to Ace to return an item because I found something cheaper but better. And am moving in 2 weeks out of state.
      The manager was following me and my child telling me I had to buy something else to fulfill a 2 month contract.
      Line 7 on their paperwork is if I move from the address then I have to get permission. I’m moving to ******** so no desire to keep something I don’t need.
      He threatened to put it on my credit report.

      Dear Ms. ******,

      I apologize for disappointing you with regard to our customer service. While it is true that you did sign a two month minimum rental agreement and did not fulfill that part of the agreement, I am willing to let that go and take no further action. We have closed your account on good terms. When you encountered Mike ********, my District Manager, in the store, he was trying to explain to you that by not fulfilling your two month minimum it might effect your in store credit rating, in other words, your ability to do more business with us in the future. We do not involve a third party collection company for situations like yours. I am assuring you that this is not something that will ever effect your credit score. I wish you safe travels in your move to ********.

      Best regards,

      Lyn *****- President

      We are very happy to help you with your computer in any way needed. Alex, from the store you are doing business with, is a computer expert. He asked that you bring the computer in and he will have a look at it. If there is a problem with it, we can either exchange it for you or send it to service and give you a loaner while it is being repaired. We really want to help you with this situation, so please stop in with it soon.
