Buddys Home Furnishings harrassing, bad mouthing, belittling, ripoff artists Tampa Florida
I and my family are long time customers with Buddy's Home Furnishings we have done business with them for over 8 years and during that time I have seen some shady dealings. This company gets you to rent their merchandise offering a 90day same as cash but they set the customer up to fail because they never want you to pay off the rentals before your 90days is over so they can charge you a ridiculous interest rate after so you pay more than 3x the amount the merchadise is worth and when you finally pay it off they entice you to rent more stuff because the stuff you have paid off is either broken or out of date. The furniture is poorly made but they advertize Name Brands but it was second hand furniture and it fell apart most of the time! There customer service is terrible John is the worst of the bunch he calls and calls even if you are one day late...I know its his job but he doesnt need to call someone 10times a day and he even goes above and beyond the harrasing by calling your work if you so happen to give them your work number (please dont) all in all I have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on crappy furniture and shoddy merchadise and now Im trying to pay off an item that cost about $800 because it came to me damaged and never worked properly they never fixed it now that Im moving I thought I could take all that credit I had and get something nice John and the other manager were happy to help and give me a mere $200 toward another item and they said it was because it was not the same item and they would lose money!! What a load of garbage I have never seen such a shady operation for a long time customer....btw the last time I had given a cc for a payment and they called me (which I work all the time) my cellphone broke so they were calling my home I didnt know until I found out they had charged me $155 on my cc without my permission! I called them immediately and sw John and he said oh well you owed it to us. That is why I will not be doing business with them ever again!!! I have learned my lesson in dealing with these shysters get your stuff somewhere else if you can not Buddys Home Furnishings.

I actually feel like the person who said "they" weren't employed by them, is indeed employed by them. They due truly call, and harass people, I have seen it done to several people. I know it's being done. They ripoff customers, and I have been in homes where merchandise doesn't work half the time. So yes, you must. You know you're doing something wrong, when you have to search for your employer's name.

NOBODY forced you to go to this place. You HAD to go there because YOU destroyed your credit reputation and YOU can't get either a credit card or bank loan or even pay cash.
If you don't like the idea of their BILL COLLECTORS calling you, its a very easy fix. Instead of continuing to live like a deadbeat, make your payments on time.
Don't bother saying it...I don't work for them.
