Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against RC Willey Furnishings, regarding their unfair and non-disclosed insurance premium practices when opening a new account. On October 24, 2023, I received a call from a supervisor at RC Willey Furnishings, during which I inquired about the terms of the insurance premium that had been automatically charged to my account when I opened a new account with them. The supervisor, verbatim, confirmed that they do not go over the insurance premium terms with customers when they open a new account.
I find this practice to be unethical and unfair, as it leaves customers unaware of the financial implications of the insurance premium, and I believe it directly violates the principles of transparency and fair business practices. As a result, I am seeking reparations for the insurance premium payments that have been deducted from my account since 2014, as I was not adequately informed of these charges.
I kindly request that RC Willey Furnishings take the following actions:
Provide a full refund of all insurance premium payments taken from my account since 2014. This refund can be made via a check or direct deposit or in store credit.
I believe that it is only fair to be reimbursed for these undisclosed and unexplained charges that have accumulated over the years. I trust that the Better Business Bureau will assist in resolving this matter promptly and fairly.
I appreciate your attention to this complaint and your assistance in ensuring that RC Willey Furnishings adheres to fair and transparent business practices. If you require any further information or documentation to investigate this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
**** *****.Business Response

The account insurance is something you agreed to at the time of application. All of the information regarding the insurance was on the application itself. We will not be retroactively reimburse you for something you agreed to when you applied for credit with RC Willey. If you would like to have the insurance removed, you can call our billing department at ###-###-####.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:I must emphasize my concerns regarding the insurance charge on my account. I do not recall being informed of this charge at the time of application in 2014, and I do not have a recollection of signing such an agreement.
My main concern is that I believe there might be other customers who have encountered similar issues with undisclosed charges. During a conversation with your manager, I was informed that customers are not always notified about these hidden charges with each new purchase. This, in my opinion, is unfair and goes against what I believe should be transparent business practices.
In light of these concerns, I would like to request a copy of the agreement from 2014 to review its terms and conditions. Furthermore, I still strongly request reimbursement for the insurance premium that I believe was not disclosed to me at the time of application.
Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to resolving this matter.
Sincerely,

Despite several attempts to resolve the issue, I have encountered significant difficulties accessing my RC Willey account, and their customer service has been unresponsive and unhelpful. I purchased a dining set from RC Willey using the finance option they provided. The agreement included an interest-free option for one item over a period of 12 months and a deferred interest option for another item over 18 months. However, I have been unable to make the necessary payment due to the company's lack of assistance and support.Firstly, RC Willey does not provide an option for automatic payments, which would have simplified the payment process and ensured timely payments. Secondly, their customer service department has been consistently unresponsive, leaving me on hold for hours without any resolution or assistance. I have attempted to contact them via phone calls and text messages, but to no avail.To compound the issue, RC Willey has removed the deferred interest agreement from my account without any prior notification or explanation. This removal has resulted in additional charges and fees being applied, which I strongly believe is unjustified.Therefore, I am requesting the following:1. Addition of the interest-free option to my account, as originally agreed upon, for the specified 12-month period.2. Removal of all late fees and interest charges that have been applied to my account due to **********************'s failure to provide adequate customer service and support.3. Prompt and effective communication from RC Willey's customer service department to address any further concerns or issues related to my account.I believe that RC Willey's actions and lack of responsiveness have resulted in unnecessary financial burdens, inconvenience, and stress. I expect them to honor their original agreement and provide the necessary support to rectify this matter promptly. I would appreciate your assistance in mediating this matter and bringing about a fair resolution.Business Response

Definitions
Average Daily Balance
To get the "average daily balance" we take the beginning balance of your account each day, add any new [purchases/advances/balance transfers], and subtract any payments or credits, [and unpaid interest charges]. This gives us the daily balance. Then, we add up all the daily balances for the billing cycle and divide the total by the number of days in the billing cycle. This gives us the "average daily balance."
Minimum Monthly Payments
Minimum monthly payments range between 3% and 5% of your accounts highest balance until the account is paid in full. The percent used to calculate your monthly payment is based upon several factors including credit history.
Billing Cycle
A billing cycle is the ****** covered by a statement. The charts below will help you determine what billing cycle your plan will be transferred to your Regular Payment Plan if the balance isn't paid in full.You were late in the months of August and September which activated the following policy: " If 2 consecutive payments are missed, accrued interest will be charged from the date of purchase at a rate of ****% per month (APR 21%) on the average daily balance, and the entire balance transferred to the Regular Finance plan"
It was disclosed at time of application and approval (01/02/23) that RC Willey does not offer automatic payment and that payment needs to be made in person, over the phone or that you can set up BillPay through whomever you bank with. You also chose and agreed that your due date each month would fall on the *********************************************************************************** not you see this statement you are still responsible for that bill each month. We also provide a 5-day grace ****** before you are considered late and after 10-days you are penalized with a late fee.
Any unnecessary financial burden, inconvenience or stress due to your plan with RC Willey is unfortunately not the responsibility of RC Willey. You applied, signed, fingerprinted and agreed to the financial commitment with RC Willey and were made aware of where the policies can be located as well as the policies at time of application.
Any attempt to remove late fees and restore your account to the interest free plans would go directly through our billing department via phone call. We understand it can be inconvenient to wait on hold, but unfortunately we cannot control wait times or traffic. There is an option to receive a call back from one of our billing associates. Their number is ************

You signed and agreed to the terms and conditions at time of application.

It is strongly discouraged that you stop making payments as you owe RC Willey that minimum payment amount each month and if missed will affect your credit.

On 10/13/22 I purchased a bedroom set from RC Willey. It was represented to be solid oak by the salesman. He proudly showed off the dovetail joints and the cedar lined drawers. He stated over and over " beautiful solid hardwood." At about eight months the top of the nightstand began to warp (see photo). It was then I noticed it was very, very thin veneer. Upon closer inspection of the nightstand there was a missing piece of veneer on a leg at floor level. It seems my very gentle robot vacuum ate up the piece and I did not know it. The fact that the furniture failed in this manner demonstrates the substandard, poor quality. I began to inspect the line closer and noticed a drawer warping (see photo). I noticed very, very thin veneer on all feet and top surfaces. I have attached an invoice showing what I purchased. This is the product description I copied from RC Willey website today:
Ruggedly handsome with timeless good looks, the Eagle Mountain 4-piece king bedroom set at RC Willey is sure to be a cherished addition to your family's furniture collection. Sturdily crafted from Mindi veneers and mahogany solids, its finished in a rich heirloom oak that will enhance both informal and more formal decorating styles. Drawing on classic Mission design inspiration, it offers generous proportions, vertical plank detailing, and sturdy draw pulls that enhance its time-honored appeal. Includes headboard, footboard, rails, 2 twin-xl bunkette boards (for use with king mattress), dresser, mirror, and nightstand. Chest sold separately.
Note: The product description and the salesman's representations are not congruent. Also, I cannot find an invoice for the dresser and mirror. I never received the mirror. I guess they forgot it? Also, I paid for their extended warranty and they cannot replace this poor quality furniture because it has been "discontinued" , so they offered to mickey mouse it and repair the veneer. NOT ACCEPTABLE!Business Response

We apologize for the negative and inconvenience experience you have had, Unfortunately your Warranty does not guarantee or say that we will replace your furniture while parts are available, Your Warranty only covers Repairs which the Repair ticket on your account has notes that detail that all the damaged parts you have are repairable and that our Reno location is doing a good job at honoring the Warranty you agreed to and paid for you and getting those parts ordered for you. As for the comments about the Sales-rep's description we cannot issue a refund for the entirety of a Bed-set based on what may have been said almost a year ago, if you have some documentation showing the Sales-rep provided false information please submit that here so we can review. if you would like to see your product repaired you will need to continue to work with our Reno location as they work hard to honor your Repair Warranty.Customer Answer

In order to move forward with your request, we will require the proof that you have that the Sales-rep intentionally or otherwise gave you misleading information on your purchase that is inaccurate to the description that the Product itself has which has not been provided as we cannot issue a refund on an entire set of furniture based solely upon what you may remember from almost a Year ago.

Complaint: ********I can provide notarized statements from myself and a witness that the salesperson said the words “beautiful solid hardwood” five times. I invoke the BBB to arbitrate this issue and let an independent arbitrator make a binding decision as to whether I was wronged by RC Willey.
A key fact that you are either minimizing or avoiding is that the furniture is literally falling apart 8 months after it was delivered. Is this your standard of quality? If you were a customer would you be satisfied with this level of quality? Both RC Willey and your agent represented you sell quality product and stand behind them. My definition of “quality” is not falling apart after only eight months in my home.
Although the salesperson either intentionally or unintentionally misrepresented the furniture that is a minor issue compared to the quality of the manufactured furniture. Why was it discontinued? When? Have others complained about the quality? Surely, Warren Buffet’s image and reputation would not stand for such poor quality being sold to a customer.
I want the BBB to arbitrate this dispute. This will result in an equitable decision for both of us. If I win you will learn to select better suppliers. If you win then you will know you are doing the right things

Bought a refrigerator in May, when they delivered it, the fan in the freezer section made a horrible grinding noise. They removed the back panel and messed with the fan for about 30 min and finally got the noise to stop. About a month later, we closed the freezer door and the grinding noise came back and wouldn't stop. Contacted *************** customer support and opened a ticket. They told us to contact ********** directly, because the Manufacturer handles the warranty for the first year, then the *************** extended warranty applies. Contacted Frigidaire and they couldn't get a tech out until the following Monday. Monday came and no one called, so I called them back. They apparently didn't have a ticket opened for us and it would be the following Tues. before they could get a tech out. Got thru the week with just the fridge side working. On the Tues. the tech comes out, finds the issue with the fan, and orders parts. 3 hours after he leaves, the fridge indicates 'HOT' and the freezer is warm, and the fridge side is no longer cold. Now I have a dead freezer, a dead fridge, and $500 worth of food lost. "We are sorry for the inconvenience isn't cutting it. Someone needs to reimburse us for the food lost and for the frustration of having to deal with this. I'm a disabled Vet and can't do as much as a normal person can. The customer service is terrible for both *************** and for Frigidaire. They don't care about their customers, they just care about their money. I want the appliance fixed within a timely manner and reimbursement for the cost of the food lost.Business Response
Date: 08/09/2023
RC Willey unfortunately cannot require the manufacturer to reimburse for food loss and can only ask them to expedite the service but cannot force them to. The manufacturer dictates how their warranty is handled within the first year and RC Willey can only help facilitate that warranty to the best of our ability. The only other avenue available to you would be to pair with an appliance manager at our ****** location and see if they are willing to make an exception on a return or credit. This is not something they are required to do but is something they have been willing to assist with in the past. I cannot provide the name of the managers at that location, but the operator can see who is available to work with. The ****** store can be reached at ************.Customer Answer

He scheduled a replacement refrigerator for delivery tomorrow morning! Excellent response and I am very happy with the outcome!.
Sometimes, you just need to get with the right person to resolve the situation.
Thank ****************! Thank you, ***************!! You still have a decades old customer very happy!!
Sincerely,

*******, thank you for passing along your feedback about your experience. We do show that customer service is trying to help facilitate *********** through the warranty which is why they are able to get the part. The warranty is a repair, not a replacement warranty. As soon as the part comes in customer service will contact you to get everything finalized. Thank you again for passing along your feedback and we appreciate your patience with the manufacturer.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:RC Wileys has been putting off repairs for the last four months and they say end of October plus they want two to three weeks to take the chair to their shop to fix. This would put the repairs into end of November if I am lucky

RC Willey has not been delaying ***********. The manufacturer certified technicians can only effectively correct your products issue with the required manufacturer parts. Once those parts are in, the technician can complete your service. As priory stated the warranty is a repair warranty and not a replacement warranty. RC Willey helps facilitate the manufacture warranty as the warranty is not ours. If the manufacturer deems that a replacement is necessary at that point an exchange can be made. They have deemed that your unit is repairable.Initial Complaint

The date was July 21 2023 we had our new clothes washer delivered, They said they would be there between 8:30 -10:00am that’s what we where expecting, they arrived at 8:00 am if my husband had not checked we would never have received our washer, The two men that came in definitely had let’s get in and out as fast as possible.The hot water faucet on the washer was a little harder to get of; they would not stay and try to get it off!!!! My husband tried to get them to stay and do their job, but they were out of here so fast! Not even a goodby, Now I have a new washer not connected in the middle of my family room! A old washer that doesn’t work in my laundry room and tons of laundry to do!This is so totally unprofessional!! I want this dealt with ASAP! And some talking to your delivery drivers about there job and courtesy !!!Business Response

We apologize for the lack of courtesy provided from the drivers during your delivery and your feedback will be passed along internally for review. After looking at your order and ready the reasoning the drivers put for why they were unable to complete the install was due to corrosion on the Valve and that prevented them from installing, We can send drivers back out to make an attempt to install again and for the you are going to need to call our Customer Service team at ###-###-#### but if the corrosion still persists and second set of Drivers are not able to safely install your fridge you will need to have it repaired before any other attempts at install are available, i apologize for the inconvenience caused to you, we also encourage you to reach out to your Sales-rep as well Tyler for assistance as well on this, you can find him at: ###-###-####Initial Complaint

On April 29th, 2023 I purchased a mattress from RC Willey in ******, **. My wife and I laid on several mattresses to see which mattress is most comfortable, which is hard for her to do. She is still recovering from a major back surgery. We ended up buying a mattress that the sales person helped convince that this was the best choice for her back. We got it home and my wife tried sleeping on it, but it made her back feel worse. We contacted RC Willey to let them know and they had us come down to try out other mattresses. My wife couldnt find a mattress that felt good on her back so we decided against another mattress. RC Willey has told us that if we returned our mattress then they would charge us **** dollars because they would have to sell our retuned mattress for less than what we bought it for so we wouldnt get the full amount back that we paid. This was customer service that said this. The sales rep called and told us we could exchange the matteress for another that way we get our money back. All of this was done with in the Comfort gauentee policy and we also informed Rc Willey before then that we were unhappy with the mattress. My wife has been sleeping on a blow up mattress in our living room and I sleep on the couch so I can hear her if she needs help. They said if we return it they take **** out of what would be refunded to us, but yet if we just exchange it then they credit our account for the whole price we bought the mattress for, but then if the mattress we exchange it for ends up hurting my wifes back then we end up stuck with that mattress because there is a one time exchange policy.Business Response

100-Day Mattress Comfort Guarantee
Advanced sleep research has shown it may take several weeks for our bodies to adjust to the proper support of a new mattress. If, after a minimum of 30 nights, you are unable to comfortably adjust to the support of your new mattress, RC Willey will give you up to 100 days from your original date of delivery to make a one-time reselection. If the reselected mattress is of greater value than your original purchase you will be charged the difference.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Above we have included our 100-Day Mattress Comfort Guarantee which is posted on our website as well as on the back of the physical order forms that are printed at our store locations.
The customer service team paired with our VP or ***************** and he was the one the provided the option to reselect for the full credit or return for a 30% restocking fee. He made this decision as an exception to our Mattress Comfort Guarantee in an attempt to help resolve the present issue, not in an attempt to resell the mattress. Your request for a refund has been offered, but there is a restocking fee attached if you are looking to proceed with that option. Otherwise, you can use that full credit to reselect.
