Two years ago, I made a grave error in judgment by walking into an Aaron's Sales and Leasing facility and purchasing a computer.
After I agreed to the numbers provided by the then-manager, I took the computer home in my car and set it up myself. However, there were cords missing, and I had to go back to the store the next day.
My agreement had been to pay them $99 a month with a pay-off or exchange for an upgrade within 3 months. However, managers changed, and even though I had a contract, I was informed it was incorrect and that I had to sign a new one with higher payments and no upgrade.
Stupid me, I purchased again from them. They changed managers again, and even though all of my contracts show my due date as the 15th of the month on a monthly basis, I receive harassing phone calls at work and at home. My children have been traumatized by these strong-arm tactics, to the point of having these guys show up at my house when my teenagers are home alone and, rather than knocking on the door, proceed to beat on the side of the house.
I am currently on disability from my job, and I have kept Aaron's informed of my situation. I told them all accounts will be finalized by the middle of February and asked them to please be patient, as I keep receiving these "valued customer" post cards, so I must be doing something right.
I was just informed that my account is over 40 days in arrears (it is not, I have just passed the 15th day of the month) and that they were sending someone to retrieve their merchandise right now. I paid in December but have not paid them this month. I told the manager again tonight to please wait for the income tax so I could pay them off and be done with them, but he proceeded to threaten me with the law.
I would not recommend Aaron's Sales and Leasing to anyone.
Just as an FYI, I e-mailed the "Top Dog" tonight and let him know of these strong-arm tactics coming out of this store with his name on it, and I requested a reply. We will see what happens, but no one should have to be subjected to this type of behavior from anyone.
Thank you for this soap box. I appreciate it.
