Rent A Center ripoff Getting screwed over a 32 inch Sony TV Chicago Illinois
90 days ago I decided to buy a 32-inch Sony TV from yours truly Rent A center. The TV in best buy was the same price as it was in my local RAC. So I made the grave mistake of buying the over priced TV. Prior to that so many of my friends told me not to let this company molest my wallet. In addition my girlfriend gave me the same speech about what I was getting my self into and how it would be better if we just got a cheaper TV: I mean we are only broke college students and all.
So like a pig being lead to the slaughterhouse I walked into RAC and go the TV and felt so proud. Now if your reading this you may wonder you I did not take my friends advice. UMMMMM.....
The little tag said only 15.00 a week plus tax waiver fee and another tax, grand total 20.42 per week of each Saturday. Not bad and very affordable. Ohh yea when I even got behind one day late on my payment I received 4 or 5 phone calls per day and one phone call to remind when my next payment was due. Also these leaches would call my 4 refences too. How embarrassing is that.
So why am I writing this if the TV was so cheap. Now comes the good part.

This is how I got ripped off. The store manger kept telling me about my buy out plan after 90 days of June 10 and if I did the by out option I would not get charged the Proj-opt price and get charged double for the TV. What this m-f did not tell me was that the time I start making payments on the item was my 90 days to pay the Fair mkt value of 701.64 and if I had the TV any time after that only 55% of my payments would count towards this TV
