I rented a playstation 3 from Rent a center. IT was for 63 weeks at like 33.00 a week or so. I lost my job at about at about payment 38. I was going to give them their ps3 cause i coudlnt afford it. They started there strong arm and talking tough collection pratices. I decided to file a chapter 13 bankrupcy since i was falling behind on everything else. My father is a praticing bankrupcy law for over 30 yrs and he filed on my behalf. Rac was listed as a creditor. They come to my house when my 1 yr old son is sleeping and start knocking so hard knocking pics of the wall and ringing my door bell consistanly. I have had enough of this crap from them and confronted them on my front porch. The one manager there starting cussing out my wife which is not going to fly then start cussing at me. I told him he needs to contact my bankrupcy lawyer and that he is in violation of the automatic stay and they we are calling the cops cause you refuse to leave. He tells us are bk lawyer is wrong that you cant file bk on us. He continued on saying how he has worked at rac for 8 yrs and know the laws but he didnt know what a automatic stay was nice one. He continued on saying how he was going to take me to court etc. THe cops finally did arrive and made them leave after blocking our driveway. I cant belive that someone that has a high school diploma to get hired at rac would have more knowledge than someone with a law degree and been a praticing attorney since 1973. My lawyer did file a lawsuit against rac. I did win against them and the judge said that the state of Missouri considers this a "executory contract" and can be eliminated during bankrupcy. I got to keep my items and Rac was to pay 6k into my bankrupcy to disperse between my creditors. I later found out the manager got fired. These bozos bark is bigger than there bite it might cost you a ittle money but it was worth every bit to punch them right back in the mouth. DONT BE SCARED OF THEM
