Rent A Center - RAC Harrassment, Threatening, slander Catonsville, Maryland

I decided,reluctantly, to do a friend a favor who was staying with me . this person wanted to rent a video game system, and a relatively small flat screen from RAC. because this person ws not on my lease, i had to put the items in my name. about a month later, my friend acquired his own apartment, with his own lease. since he was listed as a co-user on the RAC contract, i was told that there would be no problem transferring the remaining payments to his name only, once they received a copy of his lease.

that was done and according to the RAC employee, i was totatlly void of any responsibility from that point on. WRONG!!!  unfortunately, my friend did not live up to his responsibility, and because RAC couldn't get a hold of him, they decide to make 2-3 phone calls to me everyday that started off friendly enough, you know saying things like "well we just thought you may know what's going on with him". eventually i was being accussed of being part of some conspiracy and threatened with jail time. in my frustration i found a site of complaints against RAC only to learn that they were doing two things they were not supposed to do, discussing someone else's account , and threatening legal action.
