On December 21 at 8:30 pm, an employee of Aaron's came to my door and very nicely said he had been sent to either pick up a payment or take the merchandise. My wife explained that we had mailed a payment with a certified check on Tuesday, and that if he needed, she would be willing to write a check and cancel the one I had sent. He said he needed to call his store manager, Nathan.
He got on the phone with his manager, and the manager began to yell at his employee, telling him to force his way into my home. Keep in mind that I was not home; it was just my wife and young kids, and it was late. The man at the door was very apologetic and said he was not willing to do that because he was on parole. So he called his manager back and said he was not going to do it. At that point my wife's cell phone began ringing off the hook. It started with an unidentified cell phone number, then the store number for Aaron's, and on that same call a message was left that said, "You are gonna die," and the caller hung up. There were no other calls at that time, and the call times and message times line up and lead to Aaron's.
When we first made a purchase from Aaron's, there was a manager named Cory who was very helpful and professional. After about two or three months he was not there, and a guy named Dave took over, again fairly polite and helpful. Then he was let go. Now it comes to Nathan. In my opinion, he has no business being a manager or even an employee of Aaron's.
I have since contacted the authorities and filed a report. They are going to take the messages off my phone and go from there. My hope is that he is punished to the full extent of the law and then loses his job. The outcome of this will determine whether we continue to do business with this company.
