Two years ago, I made a grave error in judgement by walking into an Aaron's Sales and Leasing Facility and purchasing a computer.
Upon my agreeing to the numbers provided by the then manager, I ended up taking the computer home in my car and setting 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 upgrade w/in 3 months, however, managers changed and even though I had a contract, I was informed it was incorrect and 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 harrassing phone calls at work, 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, they proceed to beat on the side of the house.
I am currently on disability from my job, and have kept Aaron's abreast of my situation informing them all accounts will be finalized by the middle of February and 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 as my account is over 40 days in arrears (it isn't, I just passed the 15th day of the month) they were sending someone to come retrieve their merchandise right now. I paid in December yet haven't paid them this month. I re-told the manager tonight to please wait for the income tax in order for me to pay them off and I would be done with them, but he proceeded to threaten me with the law.
I wouldn't recommend Aaron's Sales and Leasing to ANYONE.
Just as an FYI; I did e-mail 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'll 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.
