Aaron Rents
Sued for Furniture After Surgery With Five Payments Left

Aaron's should have signs on their buildings saying Aaron's cheat and steal, not Aaron's Sales and Lease Ownership. The general managers are only concerned with their bonus, not the customer.

After being a long time customer of Aaron's with several paid out contracts, I had a heart attack and open heart surgery. This put me out of work for a period of several months.

I have a car loan with one of the major banks, so my credit was not bad. Aaron's was quick and easy, so I would deal with them. After I was released from the hospital, the bank, with a car loan of over $20,000, gave me a 120 day extension to get well enough to work and then resume payments. Aaron's refused and took me to court to recover the furniture. Three of the contracts with them had only 5 payments to go for ownership. They say lifetime renewal. That is nonsense. They refused and want the furniture back with only 5 payments to go.

Aaron's is composed of thieves, not real people. They have no feelings for people. The United States Senate and House have a bill that has been stalled by the rent-to-own industry to prevent a change of laws to protect the consumer. Everyone who reads this should write their senators and representatives and push them to think of the people they represent and get the legislation passed that was proposed to change the way rent-to-own companies do business.

Aaron's charges you for a service plan and charges tax on this, though you do not pay taxes on service. This is put on all contracts without an option to refuse it. This is a form of interest they charge and cover up as a service agreement. The consumer has no rights when you do business with Aaron's. I did business with the Snellville location in Georgia.

Going to court in Georgia is a waste, as the courts are there to protect Georgia companies, not the citizens of the state. If there is an attorney with the nerve out there, look at these violations of Title 15 and the state usury laws for these types of companies. Several states have found these contracts are sales contracts, but the courts in Georgia refuse to look at the decisions of other states because Aaron's is a Georgia company and therefore protected. The governor's consumer protection group and the state attorney general will do nothing, as this is again a Georgia company and therefore protected under the good old boy plan. I contacted several civil contract attorneys who declined to represent me because they did not want to ruffle the feathers of this company, which did so much for the people of Georgia. Well, I am one of the people of Georgia. What about me?
