Aaron's Rentals ripoff Made Unautherized Debit Charges On Furniture That Had Been Returned To The Store TWO MONTHS EARLIER! Vallejo California *EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back into your bank account!
Last year, while renting a house in Vallejo we rented a bed from Aaron's Rentals on Sonoma Blvd. in Vallejo. We were there on a short term job, which ended nearly two months early.
So we actually had the bed only three months. Arron's return policy requires that you keep the merchandise four months or make the fourth payment before returning.
We were to leave Ca. at the end of Sept. So I made my regular payment of $77.90 on the 15th. and went back on the 28th to make the fourth payment and arrange to have the bed picked up on the 29th.
Well, they came as planned on the 29th, loaded up the bed and took it back to the store. My husband asked for a receipt but did not receive one. They told him that they already had it on file at the store.
We left Ca. on Oct.1,2005 to return to our home in AL. Where we have been since Oct. In Dec. my husband discovered that Aaron's had charged our debit card for two payments of $88.90.
He called the store and after a good bit of run around was finally able to speak to the regional manager. He was told that the store manager had been fired and hinted that it was for "cooking the books". He told my husband he was investigating and would be in touch.
We never heard from him and my husband has still not been able to reach him again. We filed dispute charges with our bank and still aren't getting anywhere.
My husband called Arron's again yesterday and still doesn't get any responce. He asked for a number to reach the regional manager and was refused. Even after informing them of the dispute and possible charges.
So, after all the run around, and the mess made of our account, 5 months after leaving Ca. we're still out the money plus overdraft charges from our bank.

EDitor's Suggestions on how to get your money back!
HERE IS WHAT RIP-OFF REPORT SUGGESTS YOU DO:
Go to your bank within 60 days of the charge, or as soon as you know about the charge, don't delay, and tell them that there has been fraudulent activity within your account. Explain that you wish to file a dispute, and demand that they assist you in accordance with Federal Regulation E.
According to the majority of victims interviewed by Rip-off Report, those who immediately called their banks to dispute the charges did not get very far. Many victims got the following responses from their banks: we could not do anything for you or you waited too long; it has been more than 60 days.
If the bank is says that you have waited too long, explain to them how you called their 800 number as soon as the charges were found, and were told by the bank that nothing could be done. Remind the bank that they failed to assist you properly at the 800 #, and instead, provided you with an inadequate explanation of your right to dispute. Tell the bank that it's their fault time has expired, and since they gave you the wrong info to begin with, they will just have to deal with it, take the loss and reverse the charges.
Tell them the truth; this was unauthorized and your account was NOT to be charged! Keep emphasizing how you never authorized anything! Direct them to the hundreds of victims reports that were filed on Rip-off Report.com. And if you're at the bank, walk them over to their computer and make them go to this site! If you are on the phone with them, tell them you will wait while they access this site! Either way, be persistent!
DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER!
Let them know nicely, that you were advised to Report them (the Bank) and this situation to the Banking Commission in your state. Since each state has a different name for the agency/controller over banks, find that name before you call or get to the bank so you can throw it in their face. The more knowledgeable you appear to be, the further you will get.
And just continue to demand the Federal Regulation E form! The bank CAN, MUST and WILL reverse the charge! But, you must be persistent; ask to speak to the supervisor or the area manager for all the branches in the state.
Let the bank personnel know you are meeting with the media later in the day, that you would much rather they do the right thing (as most other banks have) by looking at the complaints and immediately reversing the charge(s) to your account; no matter how long ago it was. Be sure to call the Media if necessary so you are telling the truth.
If you have to, be loud (but nice) in front of other customers. If you are just calling by phone, the above tactics should still work. The bank can easily fax or mail to you the Federal Regulation E dispute form.
CHARGES TO YOUR CREDIT CARD
If the charge was to your credit card (not debit card, check card, or checking account), contact the credit card company as soon as possible to request a dispute form. Consumers usually have a little longer to dispute fraudulent credit card charges (up to 6 months), but it is better to act right away. In this type of situation, credit card disputes are usually successful since fraudulent companies often won't contest the disputed charge. In rare cases, credit card companies will review disputes, but refuse to reverse the charges. If this occurs, complain to a manager and let them know you will be filing a report here.
Remember Don't let them get away with it! Make sure they make the Rip-off Report .. The more Reports filed on a Company or individual, the more likely it is that the authorities, media and attorneys will want to take action.
And good luck Let us know how you do!
