Complaint Review: Rent A Center - Milford Ohio

okay, I decided one day that I was gona rent some furniture and a washer, both things were on special and it was cheap at first, but after the first couple months of payments,  they went up, there was no reason for that no fine print... their excuse was late fees, except id pay a few weeks at a time... anyways, my hubbys a truck driver and there are times where we dont make any money at all for a week.. I was a few days late and RAC came by my house on a Monday, which they were parked in a driveway next door and pulled in after me which struck me as very odd considering I have ALWAYS answered the door for them and have never hid from them cuz frankly I never cared if they took my stuff.

well ibtold him the situation, and flat out said if you gotta take my stuff go ahead I understand its fine.. he said nobits okay I will be back in a week to get the payment no problem... so... Tuesday the next day im a work I wrk in fast food, and the phone is ringing off the hook during lunch rush my manager finally answers it and its them asking for me n shes agruvated cuz were busy I told her unless its my mom (who watches my two year old during the day) that its not important anyone else can wait till im off work... not ten minutes later Iook out my fdrive thru window and theres a RAC van sitting across the parking lot facing me... they sat there upbuntil I left but never followed me home..

so I figured RAC is actually in that parking lot next door MAYBE im being paranoid n they just happen to park there.. so Wednesday I go about my business I swing by mybwork around noon to drop something off... i get back in my car and who pulls in but a RAC van.. I tell myself they must just be getting lunch, they arent allowed to show up to my work that isnt where the merchandise is besides I had already TOLD them to take the stuff if they had tpp that I was late and they could have it back why follow me around.. well I see them staring at me in my rear view and they whip it around and come SPEEDING after me cut out infront of another car and everything and proceed to follow me tp my friends house...

at which point I am so pissed I call and say look I talked to the guy who showed up on MONDAY and he said hed be bck in a week for my payment, if you guys cantwait TWO more days just COME AND GET IT I TOLD HIM TO TAKE IT ALREADY IF IT WAS GONA BE AN ISSUE.. he tries to get 70$ out of meand keeps pushing me and threatening me theyd come n get the stuff I had at that point told them twice to come pick up.. I told him there was nothing I could do that me n my husband had a d**n good check coming that I can either pay them off in less than a week, or I can give myoney to someone else and get different furniture. they apparently couldnt wait so I said ill be home soon comebn get it...

so I go home get my old furniture ready to go, and wait and wait, so I start calling them asking them where they are that they needed to come n get it I had s**t to do I couldnt sit here all day waiting on them, I mean not 2 hours prior they were stalking me following me around, they seemed in such a hurry to pick up the stuff... he says that he will send them out right then... another hour passes I decided to call them again getting more n more agitated bcuz the RAC store is 5 mins from my house... I call I figure they call me all the time n show up at my work, so ,  I call and I say yet again I have things to do come n get the stuff... he says theyre on theirbway... 3 minutes pass and the assistant manager calls,

hes super sweet and says to me he would take any amount of money at this point and it would keep my account open.. wrll no first he says even 20$ THEN I explain further the situation and explain I can pay him off in one week but that I have no money and then he says at this b.s. pointbhed take ANY amount any amount at all... his guys show up while were on the phone I get off the phone and realize I got ten bucks n I try to call eric back and the manager brian picks up (the one who was mean and sent them to stalk me in the first place, also the same man who everytime I came in or called in a payment told me how beautiful I am and how I can have any man I wanted that I was georgeous n blah blah blah)

well he answered and I asked well eric said hed take any amount of money define any amount I might be able to come up with a little bit n I get paid in 2 days I can finish paying the 70$ then.. and he says 'oh hell no I will not accept anything less that 70$' so I said oh yea well like I said ten tines in the past 3 days TAKE IT douchbag. I understand I was the one who was late on my payment... but the part that got to me was I flat out kept telling them to take the stuff and they kept refusing to take it and then started following me around and stalking me, and even if I had the money once I felt harassed and uncomfortable and scared bcuz they were trying to intimidate me by staring at me while im wrkibg and

hiding next door and watching and waiting for me to pull into work so they can follow me into work, when I was NEVER trying to keep their shitty merchandise fron them at any point.. thats when I decided I was gona go somewhere else for furniture.. somewhere, where they understand peoples right to privacy and not bullying them for money... yea I signed a contract, my contract stated that Ihad to return the merchandise if iI didnt pay... well I tried to give them the stuff back, and they still stalked me days later.
