I made this purchase in middle of March 2024, A dining table set and a Sectional set, within month three the couch had a slit inside where we can sit without sinking in. The dining table had one wobbly chair (display chair) added to the set. I have ever since been attempting to reach Conns as I pay for the additional insurance I was notified that the furniture is under warranty. Since June I have been trying to submit a request for repair and I get sent in circles with I cant help you in this department heres this number heres this other number. Everyone tells me the same. At this point I am withholding payment in hopes to get attention and sent to the right people. I will pay as soon as Im provided the help for the damaged furniture I have had for less than 6 months. I either need to be rescinded from the contract if no repairs will be made and my money returned or a solution to the repairs. The last straw was me calling corporate being placed on hold and hung up on again. Once again I just need help with the claim or please let me out of my contract I will seek legal advice if necessary.Business Response

Conns HomePlus (Conns) appreciates the opportunity to respond to Ms. ******* concerns. We have a history of over 130 years of quality customer service and satisfaction, and we would not want anything to impair that record. As a reminder, Ms. ****** may contact Conns regarding questions by calling our **************** Helpdesk at?************** or?online?at ******************************.??
Ms. ****** stated in the complaint:
1. She has contacted us for service and requested service. However, she has not been able to get assistance;
2. Her balance exceeds what she anticipated; and
3. She is requesting a billing adjustment.
Our investigation reveals that:
1. Before receiving Ms. ******* complaint, we could not locate where she had attempted to contact us to report any issue she has experienced with her Apollo sleeper sofa;
2. On September 16th, Ms. ****** contacted us to inquire about the balance on her account. She was informed that due to a late fee being applied to her account, her cash option was voided, and interest was added to her account, as outlined in the terms and conditions of her signed contract and cash option addendum page; and
3. We cannot honor Ms. ******* request and authorize a billing adjustment. Since we are going out of business, we no longer conduct inspections or repairs on items that are not covered by a Furnituregard Plan. Any repairs needed for non-covered items would be the responsibility of the consumer. Additionally, Ms. ******* cash option has been voided due to a late fee being assessed to her account, and interest has now been applied to her account as a result.Our records show that Ms. ****** purchased a Corinthian Apollo sleeper with a limited 1-year manufacturers warranty on October 25, 2023. The sleeper sofa was confirmed to have been delivered to Ms. ****** on October 27, 2023.
We have investigated Ms. ******* concerns, and we were unable to locate any record of her contacting us regarding an issue with her Apollo sleeper. Unfortunately, we are closing down due to unforeseen circumstances and will no longer be able to perform inspections or repairs for furniture items that are not covered by a Furnituregard Plan. Any repairs required for items not covered by the plan will be the responsibility of the consumer.
Regarding Ms. ******* concerns regarding her account, we show that she contacted us on September 16, 2024, to inquire about her account balance. She indicated that the balance appeared to be higher than expected for the items she had purchased. During the conversation, Ms. ****** was informed that a late fee had been applied to her account on September 4, 2024, due to her August monthly payment not being received on time. Therefore, her cash option was voided, and interest was added to her account in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined in her signed contract and cash option addendum page.
At this time, we cannot honor Ms. ******* request to authorize a billing adjustment. We have included all supporting documentation in our response.
Conns values Ms. ****** as a customer, and we appreciate her for bringing her concerns to our attention.

I contacted Conns to cancel part of my order on 9-8-2024. It was for a chest of drawers and a matching nightstand. I received the nightstand, but they told me that I had to pickup the chest of drawers from a warehouse in ******, ** nearly two hours away. After trying to verify that the item was actually ready to be picked up prior to driving all the way there, I wasnt able to get anyone to answer my calls at the warehouse. I finally called back to the online sales center and requested the order to be cancelled and a refund issued for the chest of drawers. I was told that the order was cancelled and they were issuing me a refund in the amount of $384.30. After not receiving any refund, I called to check on the status on 9-13-2024 and I was told that I picked up the order, which is an outright lie. After trying to get the issue resolved, they just continuously transfer me around without helping whatsoever. I am furious.Business Response

As a reminder, Mr. *** may contact Conns regarding questions by calling our **************** Helpdesk at?************** or?online?at ******************************.??
Mr. *** stated in the complaint:
1. He is being billed for a finance charge and his balance is not accurate; and
2. He is requesting a billing adjustment.
Our investigation reveals that:
1. Mr. *** signed all necessary documentation at the point of sale, which verifies that he read and agreed to all terms. This included his account having a ******** deferred-interest financing promotion (cash option), valid through July 27, 2025. Additionally, he was aware that he had a finance charge of $526.97, which is the dollar amount the credit would cost him; and
2. We are unable to honor Mr. **** request to authorize a billing adjustment. Mr. **** account balance is accurate. His current account payoff is $849.61.According to our records, on June 17, 2024, Mr. *** purchased a Holland House dresser, chest, and nightstand, all with a limited 1-year manufacturers warranty on invoice ********. It was verified that Mr. *** signed a 36-month Retail Installment Contract, agreeing to pay the minimum monthly payment of $50.14, due on the 17th every month.
Mr. **** account included ******************************* deferred-interest financing promotion (cash-option) as described on the Cash Option Addendum Page of her signed documents (attached with this response). Under the terms of the cash option, the account will not accrue any finance charges if all scheduled monthly payments are paid within ten (10) days of the due date and the unpaid cash-option price is paid within ten (10) days of the expiration date of July 27, 2025 (i.e., final expire date of August 6, 2025). If the minimum monthly payment is not paid within ten (10) days of each due date and the total cash-option price is not paid within ten (10) days of the expiration date, the cash-option will be voided, and the original terms and conditions found in the Retail Installment Agreement will replace the cash-option addendum. If the cash option is voided, all payments made prior to default will be applied to the contract to pay finance charges and other amounts in accordance with the terms of the Retail Installment Agreement.
We investigated Mr. **** concerns and verified that his account balance is accurate, and his current payoff is $849.61. At this time, we cannot honor Mr. *** s request to a billing adjustment. We have included all supporting documentation in our response.

On July 4, 2024 I purchased a fridge, a microwave, and a dishwasher. The items were delivered a week later. Upon delivery the team realized the fridge had a few dents in the side. They notified us and then called their manager, *****. ***** offered us a discount 25% then 30%. We told him we would prefer to get a fridge that wasn't damaged. He said okay. We asked if we could keep the fridge until they came to deliver a new one since we have 3 small kids. And could not go another week without a fridge. He said okay and the delivery would be about next Wednesday, July 17. We said okay. We went on vacation, but made sure someone would be here to receive the fridge. When we returned no one had come and the fridge was inoperable. We called ******* and they sent a repair person. The repair left us a receipt informing us that our fridge was defective and probably came from the warehouse like this. We again called Conns because not only do we still not have fridge, but we also were left with the wrong microwave, color and model. When we also informed them of this they said my bad it was in the wrong box and the one we purchased was out of stock. We decided to settle with just getting the discount from Conns because we could not get in contact with the warehouse. We tried to call the store and they told us the warehouse shouldn't have left the damaged fridge, but they did. Every time we call they give us the run around and say only the warehouse can give you the discount and they aren't answering us either. We did already consult with an attorney, but we just want the situation to be rectified. A lawsuit means prolonging something that has already gone on way too long. We have the receipts, the diagnosis from *******, the emails, and the contractual agreement where Conns agreed to a 30 day return policy. When we just tried to return the items within the time frame they told us due to them going out of business they were unable to uphold their side of the contract.Business Response

As a reminder, Ms. ****** may contact Conns regarding questions by calling our **************** Helpdesk at?************** or?online?at ******************************.??
Ms. ****** stated in the complaint:
1. She purchased several appliances, and during delivery, it was found that her refrigerator was damaged. She was offered a discount to keep the unit but has not received any credit. Additionally, it was found that the microwave received was the incorrect model;
2. She contacted ******* because her refrigerator was not working properly and was informed that the unit was defective. Therefore, she tried to return the refrigerator but was told that the return could not be accepted; and
3. She is requesting a billing adjustment.
Our investigation reveals that:
1. During Ms. ******* delivery, it was discovered that her refrigerator was damaged. She was offered and accepted a concession for the damaged unit. Additionally, it was found that Ms. ****** received the incorrect model and color of the microwave. As a result, an incident ticket was created to review and obtain the correct model;
2. Prior to receiving Ms. ******* complaint, we could not find any record of her contacting us to report a service issue with her refrigerator, as there are no service calls on file. Furthermore, the unit must be in good working condition to qualify for a return or exchange within the 30-day time frame. Ms. ****** has indicated that the unit was not functioning, which does not meet the qualifications for a return. Additionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, we are closing all locations and will not be accepting any returns; and
3. We are unable to honor Ms. ******* request to reinstate her cash option. Ms. ****** had additional items associated with her account and failed to make timely payments. Therefore, two late fees have been assessed to her account, and in accordance with her signed contract and cash option addendum page, interest was added to her account. However, it was confirmed that on September 19th, a concession of $570.47 was processed for the damage sustained to her refrigerator. Also, it was discovered that the desired microwave is no longer available. As a result, an in-store credit for the cost of the unit, $269.18, will be issued.According to our records, on July 4, 2024, Ms. ****** purchased a ******* French-door refrigerator with a 24-month ************** Agreement, a ******* OTR microwave with a 24-month ************** Agreement, and a ******* Bespoke smart dishwasher with a 24-month ************** Agreement, on invoice ********. We confirmed that Ms. ******* appliances were delivered on July 10, 2024.
We investigated Ms. ******* concerns and found that her refrigerator was damaged (dented) during her delivery. Ms. ****** was offered and accepted a concession to keep the unit as-is. It was also found that the microwave she received was the incorrect model and color. Due to this finding, an incident ticket was created for review and to obtain the correct model. Unfortunately, there was an error processing the concession and this caused a delay with the credit being applied to Ms. ******* account.
Since receiving Ms. ******* complaint, it was confirmed that the concession offered was successfully processed, and a credit of $570.47 is pending to her account. We ask that she allow time for the credit to post, which may take up to 5-10 business days. It was also verified that the correct microwave model is no longer available. To rectify this matter, we have agreed to issue an in-store credit for the cost of the microwave for Ms. ****** to reselect. Ms. ****** may visit her local Conns store to reselect.
At this time, we cannot honor Ms. ******* request to authorize a billing adjustment. Despite the delay in providing the correct model microwave and initiating the concession, Ms. ****** still had an obligation to make her monthly payments. However, she failed to make her payment on time, which resulted in two late fees being assessed to her account. In accordance with her signed contract and cash option addendum page, her cash option was voided, and interest was added to her account.
Conn values Ms. ****** as a customer and appreciates her bringing her concerns to our attention.
Sincerely,
Customer Relations

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. I have called the billing and customer service, both departments see no credit pending on my account. In fact they say the only thing they can see is something in review from August. If the issue was notified to the company in July, it's now October to return $570, for a mistake I didn't make. I should not be responsible for it. I am again on the phone with customer service trying to get this resolved. It is deplorable to hold a customer to an agreement when a company probably worth millions of dollars is unable to uphold their end. Providing someone a product that is different from the product we agreed upon, then telling me I have to pay for it isn't okay. Me agreeing to keep it, but asking for a discount is more than fair.
[no credit applied. Late fees assessed. Interest added.]

Mr. ***** stated in the complaint:
1. On July 1, 2024, he made a mistake and paid the payoff amount on his account. He contacted us and requested a refund. Despite being told that the refund would be processed, he still has not yet received his refund; and
2. He is requesting a refund.
Our investigation reveals that:
1. On May 5, 2024, we delivered Mr. ****** Rhapsody bedroom set and adjustable base. However, we found that the headboard was damaged, so we took it back to the warehouse. On May 12, 2024, we tried to deliver a new headboard to Mr. ****** but he refused it and asked for a full return of all items. We explained our return and exchange policy to Mr. ***** and informed him that we could take back the headboard, but as the previous furniture pieces were accepted, we could not process a return for them. It was confirmed that the Rhapsody headboard had been removed from his invoice. Furthermore, we verified that the refund request had been confirmed and initiated; and
2. Mr. ****** refund is pending as we await the bankruptcy courts response on how to proceed.According to our records, on April 27, 2024, Mr. ***** purchased an ******************************** Rhapsody bedroom set and a ************** Clarity II queen adjustable base on invoice ********* It was confirmed that Mr. ***** elected to have his items delivered.
We investigated Mr. ****** concerns and determined that on May 5, 2024, all items from his delivery were received in good condition except for the Rhapsody headboard, which was found to be damaged. Mr. ***** refused the damaged headboard and scheduled a new delivery to receive a replacement. On May 12, 2024, the delivery team attempted to deliver the new headboard, but Mr. ***** refused to accept it and requested to return all items. Since the other furniture pieces had been accepted previously, Mr. ***** was reminded of Conns Return & Exchange Policy and informed that we could not authorize a return for the accepted items, but we could take back the headboard. The Rhapsody headboard was returned, and its cost of $824.94 was later refunded to Mr. ****** We verified that the refund request was submitted and is pending.
Due to Conns filing bankruptcy, we were unable to process the refund.

[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]
I never wanted to return my bedroom set, and never stated that to anyone.The delivery people that set up my bedroom set said that the frame for my adjustable bed would not fit so they took the frame pieces and put them under my adjustable bed instead of taking it with them when they took my headboard and as today it still sits under my bed,but I was willing to keep that since the morons at conns do not except that they dont know how to treat their customers that is why they filed bankruptcy,but I bought this in good faith and it was never on an account,I paid cash for all of it and they took my head board so if they are not going to send my money back to me even though this happened way before bankruptcy than they need to deliver me that headboard back to me.p.s if they do not send me my money back on the headboard or return it to me than I will call the attorney general and get them for fraud and theft,I am sick and tired of getting the run around by this company!

I went to Conn’s Home Plus store going out of business sale and purchased a sectional sofa for $2,033.70 because I was told we could not apply for store credit. She asked if I wanted to do $150 plus for shipping, because she told me they didn’t have any in stock and had to order it but it would come to the store. The delivery price is expensive for our area. It is usually $50. I said no because I was told it would still come to this store. She said it would arrive by Wednesday. I got a text the same day Asking me to set up pickup in Birmingham and I knew I wouldn’t be able to do that because of the distance and me getting off work at 4pm and later. That’s a 2.5 hour drive. I called and asked about why I wasn’t told that and she stated that text gets sent to everyone and to disregard it. The item would still come to this store. On Friday I had not received confirmation that it had arrived. I went to the store 9/7/2024 to check to make sure that the item was there and was told after checking and her and the other salesman talking that I would have to take the floor display, that is all they have because all of their trucks were stopped Wednesday and they would not receive anymore merchandise. I asked her if I would get something off the floor display, since I was promised new, and she said no. I took a picture of the floor model and it has feet covers missing and I’m not sure what else because it’s not new and I have nothing to compare it to. This was an ALL SALES FINAL on my receipt and also states expected delivery date 9/3/2024. This is my first time that I bought furniture and nothing went as I was told. I am so disappointed. I told her okay for the floor model and she said I would have to pick it up in 3 days. I have to get something for my money, but even out of business sales should be bound to contract. This verbal and receipt was breached totally. Nothing that I was told was done. I’m glad I didn’t pay for shipping because that would have been a loss too.Business Response

Conn’s HomePlus (“Conn’s”) appreciates the opportunity to respond to Ms. ******s concerns. We have a history of over 130 years of quality customer service and satisfaction, and we would not want anything to impair that record. As a reminder, Ms. ***** may contact Conn’s regarding questions by calling our Customer Service Helpdesk at?1-877-358-1252 or?online?at www.conns.com.??
Ms. ***** stated in the complaint:
1. She purchased a sectional and was asked if she wanted the furniture delivered, but she declined. She was advised that her items would become available that following Wednesday. However, she was later advised that we were unable to have the sectional pieces sent to the store and was offered the floor model; and
2. She is requesting a billing adjustment.
Our investigation reveals that:
1. During Ms. ******s purchase, she chose the Sorrento Elite sectional and was asked if she wanted to have the furniture delivered. She declined, as she did not wish to pay the delivery fee. Ms. ***** was informed that her furniture would be available by a certain date. However, we were unable to complete the transfer. As a result, Ms. ***** was offered and accepted the floor model. Unfortunately, during the pickup, she noticed there was an issue with one of the pieces and requested compensation. Ms. ***** was advised that we could not provide additional compensation; and
2. We cannot honor Ms. ******s request to authorize a billing adjustment. The furniture purchased by Ms. ***** was part of a liquidation sale due to our going out of business, and as a result, the merchandise was heavily discounted. Therefore, we are unable to offer any additional credit.According to our records, on September 2, 2024, Ms. ***** purchased a Corinthian Sorrento Elite sectional as part of our liquidation sale. Her sectional consisted of five pieces and all items received a price reduction. This led to Ms. Hardy's purchase total, before the applicable sales tax, being reduced from $3249.99 to $1852.54. We confirmed that Ms. ***** chose to have her furniture picked up from her local Conn’s store instead of paying the $149.99 delivery fee. Our standard delivery fee for furniture is $199.99, but we reduced the fee during her purchase by $50. This information can be found on our website at Conn's Delivery, Shipping & Pickup (conns.com).
We investigated Ms. ******s concerns and found that the items were being shipped from the warehouse to her local Conn’s for pickup. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we could not have the merchandise transferred. As a result, Ms. ***** was offered and accepted the floor model Sorrento sectional. However, when she retrieved her items, she noticed an issue with the foot of one of the sectional pieces and requested compensation. At that time, Ms. ***** was informed that the prices had been reduced due to the liquidation, and we could not authorize additional compensation.
We cannot honor Ms. ******s request to authorize a billing adjustment.
Conn’s values Ms. ***** as our customer and appreciates her for bringing her concerns to our attention.
Sincerely,
