      The company came out to my house when I was not home, my 16 year old sister was there month watching my eight month old baby they pounded on my door for over 20 minutes straight, stood on my porch screaming, sat in my driveway with their horses, blaring peeled out ofmy driveway, tearing up my yard and my neighbors yard.The 2 females harassment triggered my 16 year old ptsd inducing panic. I told them I was not home and they still chose to stay making my 8 month old very scared and stressed when they heard her crying they laughed yelling we know youre in there we hear the baby. My 16 year old sister is not allowed to let anyone into my home while I am away and I told rent 2 own that. I asked them to come at 6 when Id be off work.They came onto my property without permission, harassed my sister, damaged my property, induced panic, and then partook in criminal mischief.I had tried paying on line and it would not work and I sent them screenshots saying the system was down as it was and I got left a voicemail saying I was lying and I am just broke.

      This is in response to complaint #********.  Thank you for taking the time to reach out.  Here is what the manager of the store has replied:

      We went to the residence to retrieve our merchandise. We announced who we were at the door and got no response.  When we attempted to back out of the driveway the vehicle got stuck in the median in the middle of 2 roads. We had the vehicle pulled out of the median not yards. We did apologize that the vehicle got stuck. The issue was addressed through text messages with *******.  ******* at the time stated she would have our merchandise outside Thursday 01/30/25 for us to pick up. Once we have picked up our merchandise, we will have no need to return to her residence.  If any more questions or concerns, please contact our *********** at **************.  Thank you!!!

      Complaint: 22857222

      I am rejecting this response because:  this is not what happened. This does not say why they were yelling and pounding on my door, this does not explain why they were blasting on the horn in my drive and then peeled out. Why did they come 2 times knowing I was at work and proceeded to harass my home knowing I was at work. 
      why were they at my home harassing my 8 month old daughter and 16 year old sister for over a half hour?

      I had 2 different neighbors call me angry because of how they were acting. And the medium is actually people yards, if they did not peel out of my drive way there would have been no possible way of them getting stuck considering I keep my drive way shoveled and salted and my road was clear. They were at least 50 feet behind my drive way and at least 20 feet off of the road. I have pictures of where they were that I had sent over to rent 2 own.

      I ended up having some financial issues and a death in the family and I had to miss a good amount of work and had to go out of state to attend their funeral and help sort thru their belongings. I got very behind on my bill and was trying to find any way to pay it. I told 3-4 different people in the store about my situation and that I only had a certain amount of money in my card. They were extremely rude, they blew my phone up multiple days in a row even after I had talked to people in the store, and they began to harass and threaten me. I was texted from private phone number, the store phone, and every conversation I was threatened and talked down to. I had a check coming but the weather affected when it would arrive and because of this I was threatened with police and law suits over something I could not control. I have never been so disrespected and treated so badly by any one in customer service like this before.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a complaint, here is the store manager's reply:

      This account is a first payment default 24 days past due, we need this merchandise returned or we need payment in full. This is not harassment we are following our collection guidelines, and she has terminated the customer agreement due to nonpayment, we need this resolved per her agreement by either merchandise returned or payment in full.

      This is for complaint #********.  Thank you for taking the time to leave this message.  This is what the regional manager over the store has replied: 

      The customer is a first payment default going on 30 days past due. We cant start business like this and continue it. We will always per-sue for payment and call and visit. The customer has been home and will not answer the door. With this being a new customer, we need to pick the merchandise up or receive payment to catch them up completely to their next pay day. We are not stocking we are collecting. It either has to be the payment or the merchandise. We also have a phone number to call us to make payment or she can go online.  The payment is needed and expected.

      I have been a customer with this company and the store in ********** , **** they know that I always do the 90 days same as cash and pay it off before the time is up. I had ask to be called when my payout day is approaching and the employee said no problem and that she would be sure to do so. I have a card on file so it comes out automatically, however I had a payment not go through so they called me. I then explained to them what had happened and that I didnt know it wasnt paid off. The cost was $399 and I paid $267 they now tell me I owe $319 to pay it off. They said that it wasnt their fault because the employee dotm work there anymore and wouldnt help me or even offer a solution and **** was very unfriendly and so was *****. I thought I had a better relationship with this store but I guess not. All they care about is money and not the customer. They would rather loose me as a customer then to work something out or even apologize for their mess up for not calling me to tell me I am due for my payoff. They dont have a problem calling when a person misses a payment right away so I dont understand this.

      This is in response to complaint #********.  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.  Here is what the manager over the store has to say:

      She called in after she went over her same as cash. She said ****** the employee at the time would call her when the same as cash was getting close so she could pay it off. She was upset and wanted me to discount her price back to the original price before the same as cash ended. **** said she had 90 days same cash. I explained to her that she actually got 120 days same as cash. So she had even long to pay it off in the same as cash. I told her if I reverted her same as cash then I would have to do that with everyone that goes over their same as cash. She said okay thank you then hung up the phone. Everyone customer has an email when they get close to their same as cash, they will get notified also we go over it at the time of sale in the store and make them sign the agreement that they understand.

      I am rejecting this response because: 
      It is not my fault they promised to call me when my payout ****** was approaching.  Second of all , I have been a customer for quite sometime.  It is not my fault the worker is no longer there. This should be paid off, also there had been several phone calls because I had a washer and dryer on my account for my sister. They couldve have let me know then that I was getting close to my payout.

      I was asking about paying for a tv that got broken and they told me a price of ***** and they would swap it out but I told them to just come get it and they came 2 weeks later to pick it up and they said well this is broke I had to pay for it and they took the TV and I called the next day saying I would come pay for TV and pick it up and take it to get fixed and they said they left it here and they did not but still expecting to pay for it

      Date: 12/23/2024

      This is in response to complaint id #********.  Thank you for taking the time to leave a complaint.  Here is what the manager of the store has replied: 

       ***** ********* is the account holder and was quoted $108 for accident forgiveness to replace the tv. While replacing a tv screen is technically possible, it would need to be done by a professional and would be very expensive. What we offer our customers is a very good deal and replaces the tv while the customer continues making payments as per the original agreement. 
      The tv was not picked up because it is useless for us to do so, we cannot resell a broken tv.

      I am rejecting this response because: they said they never picked up the TV but I handled the manager ***** the tv out the door and they came back said it was broke and said we had to pay for it and the next day I messaged saying I would just come down pay for it and pick it up and they told me they left it here but I have checked every where around my house and it not here so I don't think I should have to pay a dime for it

      Thank you for your response.  Here is what the manager has to say:

      I was off work on Thursday the 19th. The text messages the day after the return verify that the account manager in fact left the tv at the home. Which is honestly neither here nor there. Broken tv's need accident forgiveness paid in order to return or replace them.

      I was put down as a Reference on someone elses account. They called one month looking for them, I offered to pay the payment to help. But then Rent 2 Own decided to make my card an automatic payment on the account. To be honest I didnt catch it for months, finally did in August and called and asked them to remove it. And they just keep taking money. The person that has a rent 2 own account is not on my bank.
