Check cashed early after being told postdating was fine

My fiancee and I rented a bedroom suite from Aaron's. We had no problems for the first 4 months. We then decided to rent a laptop from them. We went to the store after talking to someone about postdating a check, and we were told yes, we could. Well, they cashed the check early when we did not have the funds, and we were charged fees by our bank.

Aaron's called to discuss the check, and I talked to the manager. First of all, she could not even remember when we came to purchase the laptop, and it was just a week ago today. Really? She named 3 different days we were supposed to have come in and 3 different days they cashed the check. When I told her that her dates were incorrect, she literally yelled at me and said, "Oh no, they are not." I kept trying to tell her that it showed in my checkbook when the check was written and that I had other documents with the date on it to prove it.

I finally told the manager that I was not going to talk to her anymore and that when my fiancee gets back into town we would come talk to her in person and settle the matter. She very rudely said, "Oh, we will settle the matter when I get my money." She also tried to threaten me with the fact that I cannot make any payments toward anything until it was paid.

Now here we went and purchased a computer from a company that is under lawsuit for putting a spying program into their computers. I know that is a big risk, but I thought this was a great company and that they would never do anything like that to their customers. Well, I now know just how wrong I was. I am now taking everything back and going somewhere else. I just hope they do not try to take money out of my account or take any more from me, or they will have another lawsuit on their hands.
