I have purchased several items from Arron's and for the record the ONLY good thing (it has it's bad side too) I can say about them is they actually reported our paid off accts as good credit marks. They only listed the good credit in my wifes name even though I was listed as a co-applicant on all contracts.
I have had dealings with them in store, on the phone and at my front door that were to say the least pretty heated.
I have no problem paying more for items I want but if I am paying and sometimes paying late charges and especially if I have a long history of buying from you, DON'T keep harassing me! Funny how the computer we bought crashed beyond repair shortly after payoff.
I am hoping our latest purchase of a big screen tv is not the same way.
I've been late a few times and every single time I get some jerk screeching about my payment and threatening to come pick up the stuff. One particular time was when this lil fellow showed up and i informed him i would be in within 3 days and make a payment, he told me he would need to go ahead and get the stuff unless I paid him right then. I started to get rather impatient after having to re explain to this idiot several time that he was NOT entering my home nor was he getting payment at that moment and I would be in the store in 3 days to pay them.
This dummy decides I need to talk with his manager on his cell to resolve this matter. I told him it was time for him to leave and if I wanted to talk to his boss I would call him from my phone. I shut the door and he just stood there on his cell for 5 more mins then knocked again. I was very irate by this time and stepped out to issue my final warning to this punk that he was to remove himself from my property immediately or I would remove him. This doofus had the nerve to set his clipboard down of my porch rail and step up in my face and ask if I was threatening him. OH YEAH BABY!!! I was indeed making a threat and as he soon found out I was DEAD serious!
This is the part where I lost it, blew up, snapped, or whatever you want to call it. I went back in and called his boss and informed him that if he did not tell this idiot to leave right now, I would stomp his narrow butt all over my yard and if he wanted to retain this guy as an employee he had better hang up and call the law to come save him because they would be the only ones that would stop me. He was on lil mans cell before I could get to the door and sparky was driving away within secs.
I spoke to the manager again and warned him to never send this guy or anyone else this rude to my home again and they have not. No need in threatening to come into someones home and take rental property and being rude about it when I have always paid them!
Short of getting a court order via a lawsuit they cannot enter the home to retrieve merchandise without my express permission and that would cost them way more then they would be willing to spend anyway.
They added a late charge naturally to this, but no at home visit charge which I have only been charged once and that was for a payment that they had never visited.
Do what you want and sometimes people are forced due to credit or other situations to buy from Aaron's and places like them, but be forewarned, they can be bullies and very rude and dishonest.
