Two years ago I had an account with this company and purchased a Dell computer. In October of this year, Aaron's showed up at my new house (the result of skip tracing, I am sure) demanding a product return. I was not home at the time, but my mother did not let them in, as they did not have any documentation stating this. I called them and they threatened that if I did not return the product in 2 business days, a lawsuit would be filed. I took this seriously, as I know there is a law against rental theft.
I returned the computer and got a letter from the management stating it had been returned and that no collection would be pursued. In November I received a copy of my credit report and saw that Aaron's had attached the full charge of the computer to my report in May! Why was I never informed of this? To my knowledge, they do not report to any credit bureaus, unless their contract and ads just lie outright. Why would they even threaten me if they had already damaged my life by putting it on my credit report? Liars!
Now I am in the headache of contacting the corporate and regional offices to get this straightened out, and I am having TransUnion investigate it. This is one big headache. I guess they think I am stupid or something and that I will not pursue this to the utmost. Hopefully, this will be resolved.
