Aaron's, in my opinion, is a total rip-off! I own 4 acres, so I needed a new mower and went to Aaron's to get one. All was fine except the harassing phone calls at work for being 1-2 days late, when I had already made arrangements with the management on payments for the times I get paid (twice a month). They sent people to my home unannounced to harass me or to try to pick up the mower that I WAS paying on.
Then my boyfriend lost his job and I was having medical problems. I talked to the Aaron's manager and made things right, and we decided to get a different, smaller mower so the payments would be lower. Yeah, right! I was given a smaller mower, but it was not a new one like I had on the first contract. They took it upon themselves to give me a used smaller mower that someone else had used, brought back dirty with half a tank of gas in it. The used smaller mower never worked right. All the steering and wheels were loose on it, but I kept paying on it.
I did get 2 months behind again with medical things still going on, so they made arrangements to come pick up the mower. Fine, but they did not show up. Instead they came while I was at work, with no phone call, nothing, and took the mower. I told them I was not paying for a smaller used mower at the same rate as I had on the new bigger mower, so they could just keep the smaller mower too.
Now it is several months later, with no calls from them and no mail contact, when all of a sudden I get court papers saying that they will garnish my wages for the amount of $1,643.00! What? For a mower that was not worth that much? I did not receive anything by mail or any calls warning me about a pending lawsuit against me with Aaron's. If I am going to have to fork over that much money, I am getting a mower to show for it! Stay away from Aaron's. They are rude liars and harassers!
