When you enter into a legally binding agreement to purchase something, you must pay the total amount specified in the contract ... NOT "what you think the item is worth." If you could truly pay cash for the going value of the TV, you would have done so in the first place without ever renting. You failed to abide by your end of the agreement. Time to pay up.

You obviously still have the TV or you would have filed a police report. Why not just return it and the Aaron's will stop "bothering" you? If the TV was really "stolen" you would not have offered to pay them "what it's worth", you would have filed a police report and put the loss through your renters insurance. Aaron's has every right to get their merchandise back, short of actually breaking into your apartment and taking it back. And...No I do not work for any rent to own companies, I just hate when people try to pull a fast one while hard working people have to pay extra to cover for all the deadbeats.

I am a customer(first) and now a G.M. of a franchise store... First off let me say we DO NOT "strong arm" anyone, although we do have strong arms from delivering our merchandise into the homes of our customers that are leasing it. It clearly states in our agreements that you are responsible if the leased property is lost, stolen, damaged beyond repair, or destroyed. But you are not responsible if it is caused by fire, flood, windstorm or other act of god. You are financially responsible for the item if it is stolen.... the only thing that could remedy that is renters insurance, or home owners insurance. And if you haven't filed a robbery with the police station cause you "don't know what happened" after being gone without contact with aarons for over a month. The those at the store would expect that you indeed have the item because you haven't reported the theft... Why would you hide and make someone trying to contact you, repeatedly knock on the door or "look into your window" (to see if they see the store property within the residence) All you would have to do is file the theft and continue to pay for the T.V. because that is what you agreed to.

I did not understand your report, if the TV was stolen then you should have called the police and reported it. You don't have to know what happened to file a report. If it is damaged, give it back to them and let them sue you for the money. If it is missing then let them sue you and they will still get the depreciated value. As for them peering into your windows and going to the back of your house, call the police and tell them there is a prowler outside your house. If these people are aware that the TV is not in your possession then, I would handle it like any other intruder on my property. Apparently, they only pull their strong arm tactics on those which cannot defend themselves otherwise, we would be hearing more about how an Aarons or RAC employee was shot or beaten to death or hospitalized for tresspassing.

You leased a tv....it is gone now....you admittedly were gone for over a month...you will pay "what YOU think it's worth" (but obviously haven't yet)...hmmmmm. Can't understand what the problem is. Except that theft is not covered by the lease agreement and NO WHERE in the lease agreement does it say to just pay what YOU feel it's worth.
