      This incident occurred on January 30, 2022 at 10: 00 a.m. at *****************************************************************. I was attempting to pay an extension for someone that is detained and could not make the payment and I was denied the opportunity. I was asked to remove myself from the line of customers. When I inquired in to the policy, forbidding the action of paying an extension on someone else's behalf law enforcement officials were called on me by the employee, ***** I then went through the customer complaint line and was spoken by the representative in condescending manner. What occurred was a very humiliating experience. To have law enforcement called on me for trying and instating on making a payment on someone else's behalf is ridiculous. In addition the general manager was of little to no help.

      Date: 02/03/2023

      The customer ************ was contacted by the District Manager **************** The District Manager did explain to her that it is policy that we ask the customer for their **** ticket number to give a payment if the **** ticket is not under her name and she did not have the **** ticket present. She stated that she felt she was being targeted by the team member and that she was not being helped for no good reason because if other stores did it why not here. I explained to her that she was not being targeted and let her know that our company policies and procedures go hand-in-hand with the laws governed by the ****. I reassured her that I would talk to the staff and get with the store managers in the nearby area to make sure that are all on the same page.
      She then thanked me for the call back and for being professional in explaining everything that I did.

      I went to the **** shop in 07/22 and I had **** a PlayStation 5 with games and I also **** a ******** switch with games. I have been paying the interest rate on it until I went to pick it up. I picked up the ******** switch on December 24 and when I picked up the ******** switch everything seem to be OK until I got home and realized that one of the games was missing, my son said I didnt get my Mario **** game so because of the time we had to wait until the following week which I had work and I wasnt able to go in until yesterday when I went in yesterday and I told the person at the cash register that I was missing a game I had him look me up in the system to make sure that I have upon five games with the ******** switch. He saw that I did Pont five games but I only received four when I went to pay to receive my game back he then called over the manager and she looked at it and she said well he was late and we had put it back out on the floor to sell and then you came in and I reactivated your account but when she reactivated my account she didnt make sure all the games was there when I went to pick the game up I paid for the ******** switch at five games but I only received four games. She got a little sassy and said that we have to go on the waitlist to get another game. I told her no because when I brought the switch and I brought in five games when I came to pick the game up I paid for five games so I want a new game and the price for that is $60. I still have these there thats being pawned but I will be picking everything up. So I told her to give me a business card with her name on it and her name is ****. Thank you

      I pawned a set of 4 custom Velocity brand car rims that were equipped with brand new low-profile tires. I have been diligently paying the $46.00 interest payment every month for the entire time they have been in ****, as not to lose them. Approximately 2 weeks ago, I attempted to go online and pay the interest once again as this has been my normal mode of providing payment and i discovered that the information fir this particular **** loan was no longer listed on my account. I knew there had to be some mistake, so I immediately contacted the pawnshop by phone. During this phone call, I was informed by the employee that I was speaking to, that the reason my loan information was no longer listed was because they in fact had no clue where my rims were at and that they believe someone must have jumped the fence surrounding the pawnshop and stole my rims, which were being stored outside. She then stated she would have her district manager contact me in regards to this situation. Needless to say I have heard from no one and no one is ever available when I call or go in to the business. I feel like I am being intentionally ignored and disregarded, in the hope that I will let the matter go. This is not going to happen. At the time of me pawning my rims I had only owned them for maybe 6 months and I had paid $1800.00 at the time of purchase. I am attaching a copy of the confirmation email I received following the most recent interest payment made before I found out my rims were actually missing .

      Complaint: 18565228

      I am rejecting this response because:
      The person who contacted me was very rude and condescending, insinuating that I was lying regarding the value of my pawned item. He then stated that my rims were not in fact stolen as I was told they were by an employee at the store but instead that they had "dropped" into store inventory on the morning of December 6th and then were immediately sold. I do not believe this to be true, its just a little too convenient and tidy. Also, I have ALWAYS paid my interest payment every month between the 4th and the 6th of the month and never had any issue whatsoever. The loan was originally made on December 06, 2021.

      I just got off the phone with *****. When she made the first payment on her loan she was already 63 days past due, the final due date was on Dec. 1 the store dropped the loan on Dec 6 and she attempted to make her payment on Dec 8.  The team member attempted to locate the rims when she called in on the 8th and could not find them as they sold on the 6th.  I was attempting to offer her 50% off of comparable rims when she hung up on me.

      I am rejecting this response because:first off he was not attempting to provide any sort of resolution. I do not know how the dates were recorded incorrectly but it was not the 8th when i called in IT WAS THE MORNING OF THE 6TH RIGHT AFTER THE STORE OPENED. This is when i wss informed by A STORE EMPLOYEE that my rims were missing. The same STORE EMPLOYEE is the one who told that they believed someone had jumped the fence and taken them. Suddenly after I make a complaint there is suddenly a nice little story of them being dropped and IMMEDIATELY sold. Once again, why all of a sudden would paying them on the 6rh of the month mean the payment was made late? When EVERY other payment made was

      On Thursday, September 22, 2022, I took a 10k gold necklace into the shop and was humiliated by ******* and a ***** *************************. When I gave him the necklace, he rudely asked me "What's your problem. Is there something wrong." I stared at him before I replied it wasn't his business. He took the necklace, turned his back to me while laughing, looked at the young hispanic boy who was shaking his head no. They did this during the entire visit. Then ******* responded, "I'm about to make your day a whole lot worse. The necklace is fake. I don't know who made this but the did an awesome job creating a fake necklace. See, it won't even stick to the magnet. So you can take this fake jewelry and leave." I told the necklace and turned around to leave, as I was walking away, I turned around to see ******* and the young ******** boy laughing. ******* has done this before to customers and the store manager knows and allows him to humiliate customers. I was the only African American customer and he said what he said so everyone could hear him. ******* didn't perform a jewelry test. He meant to humiliate me. The necklace isn't fake, was purchased from another EZ Pawn location and was properly tested by Cash America. ******* violated the company's code of ethics, conduct and mission statement more than once. The store manager was contacted the same day. He was very nonchalant and I don't feel he's going to handle anything since he knows how ******* treats customers. ******* should be terminated.
