Okay here is my story went in to rent to own a tv for my hubby bday. I have never done this before but I just started a new job so I didn't have enough cash to buy. Well I believed all the crap I see on t.v. about 12 months and blah blah blah. Paid on the tv every month about 113.00 a month up until Feb 2011 I lost my job in Jan. 2011 like most people out here. Let me add that I signed my agreement in March 2008 and made a payment at the time and was told two weeks free which they did not give me because two weeks later they start calling, after I explain about the two weeks free which they told me about they waited another two weeks and called me on April 2nd 2008. Like most my paydays were every two weeks and some months I may not get paid until the 4th or 5th and you better believe every 2nd of the month I got a call and if I missed the call they would immediately call my references, also my job..
after I gave them a piece of my mind and two of my references had to actually have their number changed and stopped calling my job. Well like I said lost job in Jan 2011 made last payment in Feb. I was turned down for unemployment (thats another story) so I am still without a job. Well these folks at Aarons dont call me any more they just show up at my house. First time I met one in the driveway while he was having a conversation with my 13 yr old son, and yes I gave him more then a ear full and immediately told him to get off my property. After that they would just show up through out the day I am usually out job hunting so I would get the tag they leave. I have called and spoke to the store manager several times and explain that I will make the final buy out payment of 300.00 as soon as I get some extra cash.
I understand I owe the payment and I am willing to pay, but I will be damned if I give back a tv that I have paid on for almost 2 years I dont care what any employee says... or supervisor or anyone else. How dare you have the audasidy to expect people to pay on something for so long and then demand it back so you can resale to someone else when they have 3 payments left. Show up at my house if you dare. You can knock but be careful there is a little law in Texas called TRESSPASSING and the right to bare arms. That is not a threat its a promise. If you don't get the results the first, second, or third time.... Take me to Court... Yes I know my rights... see they dont want to go to court for a mere 300.00 plus court cost because it is easier to just harrass innocent hard working people who are just dealing with life... So Aaron's and associates Kiss my .....

If your would have not been stuck determined that aarons is not getting there tv back... Yes the tv aarons ownes until the final payment is made...... you can always turn the merchandice in and then start up your paymets right were you left off...... As for possession it don matter if you have it or not it does not belong to you and that is called theift..... in your case theift by deception!!!

possession of stolen property?
Typical mentallity of the type of folks who use such rent to own outfits. They don't pay and then cry foul when the store wants either its money or PROPERTY back.
They should sick the law on you. It's called CONVERSION and it's a crime in every U.S. State (for you this includes TEXAS.)
Shees!

It may be different in other states, but here in Indiana, Aaron's will actually suspend the contract until you find a job and can continue the payments.
All you would have had to do is go in and talk to them. They would have taken the tv back. Then when you found a job, you would have had to just go in, make you payment, and you would gotten the tv back.
It probably would not have been the exact same one, and it definetly would not have been a new one, unless you pay for a new one, but you would have gotten one back that is likely the same model or slightly newer depending on how long it takes.
If you read your contract, it probably states this policy right in it.

Right to bare arms.... Destorying TV....

As already stated it is lease to own which mean you maintain no equity in the merchandice until the last lease payment is made and I am sure if you would have gone seen the store when it come due hey could have worked out something. At this point you just need to return the merchandice and if you damage the tv there is a little law called wilfull vandilism which carrys a 6 month sentence also right to bare arms it sounds like a threat.........

I owe the payment and I am willing to pay, but I will be damned if I give back a tv that I have paid on for almost 2 years I dont care what any employee says... or supervisor or anyone else.
- Well how about the courts?
It's called RENT-TO-OWN. Meaning YOU do NOT own it yet, it is still "owned" by the store. Therefore if you stop paying on it and don't return it you could be sued in Civil Court. But your right they probably won't try and sue you for a mear $300. They may just go a different route.
Here is how it may happen, if you refuse to return it. They may go to the courts. Because the contract you signed states that they maintain a "security interest", the courts issue an order that requires you to return the TV. This will be served by the local Law Enforcement at your house, and you thought having them call your references was embarassing. If you refuse to turn it over they will arrest you. Oh and they will still get the TV back and sue you not only for the missing payment(s), but all of the costs involved in getting the TV back.
Gratefully there is a right to bear arms, but that comes with responsibility. It is going to be a hard claim for you to make that you felt in danger when they were coming to get THEIR TV.
