My husband and I rented a stackable washer and dryer from rent-a-center about 2 years ago (with NO late payments) and due to be paid off in 3 months. We were late by ONE week and we had an agreement to pay late. Well we asked if we could paid one week now and pay double next week, which would be pushing it back somewhat to two weeks, they said NO and they would be at our door in an hour to collect payment. We paid and two weeks later paid it off so we wouldn't have to deal with them any longer.
Then a couple of months ago we decided to try a local furniture store to get credit so we wouldn't have to pay the OUTRAGEOUS prices at rent-a-center. We had to use RAC as a credit reference and when the local store called them, RAC had the nerve to tell them "they've had better customers with better credit". We were only late ONE time. But I guess they knew they lost a customer because since we've paid them off they've called to try to get us to come back and oped a new account (but, we have such bad credit why would they want us back)!!!
