I am so sick and tired of the constant harrassing phone calls, showing up at my door every other day and when you speak to someone you feel as though you have to explain your private life as to why you are late. We are never more than just a few days late and the harrassment is a daily thing. I'm afraid to walk out of my house fearing they will pull up any minute and I keep my blinds closed due to them trying to peek in and spy on you. I feel as though I'm literally a prisoner in my own home. This wrong on so many levels, not to mention they way over charge for merchandise that actually is crap and really should be sold at a yard sell. Their customer service, business practices and their merchandise stinks to high heaven. They need to be shut down.

Answer for Robert

AUTHOR: John - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, February 06, 2009

Robert- it's because people with crappy credit see no reason why they should be treated differently from people with good credit.

It's because some people think that saving money and doing without for a while is for suckers.

It's because some people think that they have a "right" to televisions and nice furniture and laptop computers- and they have a "right" to these things at low cost.

It's because some people think that just because they signed a contract and agreed to a payment schedule doesn't mean that they should be held to that payment schedule- and if they are, the people holding them to their agreements are "harassing" them.

It's because some people think it's UNFAIR that just because they have a bad track record in paying their debts, no one will give them a chance to default on MORE debts.

In short, it's because some people are selfish, whiny idiots. Like the people who call Rent A Center a "ripoff."

Here's a clue: You don't need any of the things you rent from Rent A Center. You WANT them, you don't NEED them. If you don't want to make the payments, don't walk into the store and sign the paper. It's really very simple. Unfortunately, you Rent A Center suckers are even simpler.

Here is a real easy solution..

Here is a real simple solution..RETURN THE ITEMS.

I mean by your own words you are having trouble paying on the items, you think their merchandise is crap, and you don't like their customer service. So why in the world do you still have the items.

By the way you didn't think they needed to be "shut down" when you got the items did you? In fact you were probably glad they were there because they would rent to you when you had no other way to get the items.

You are full of it

First, to the poster above who spins a yarn about beating up the guy from Rent A Center- Oh really, what BS. Never happened. You KNOW it never happened. But somehow, you feel better about yourself for having told a story about how you Took On Rent A Center. Good for you.

To the original poster: Here's the best way to avoid harassment from Rent A Center or any other Creditors: Pay your d**n bills ON TIME. It's funny, but you notice a real pattern develop when you meet your responsibilities and pay on time, like you promised when you agreed to rent: there's no harrassment.

And "thieves?" Really? Thieves don't generally sign contracts with you. I'm so sick of all you Rent A Center morons complaining about paying for stuff you walked into a store and picked out. Save money. Do Without until you can afford to buy. Otherwise, please- just shut your yaps and stop complaining because a store wants you to pay WHAT YOU AGREED TO PAY.

There was only one way I could deal with Rent A Center

AUTHOR: Brandonksenior - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, January 22, 2009

I got tired of them as well. But I dealt with them in a way that they completely stopped harassing me. I am not sure this will work with you, but for me it did.

Now this is a violent way to deal with them, so i have to be careful of how I word it.

This rent a center liked coming to my house and blocking my car with their car and coming up to my door keeping me late for work. Id get in my car and they would block me in until I talked to them and gave them some type of payment. They would as well peek into my windows like special investigators.

One day, I woke up early to find that they were not there yet. I cracked my front door open approximately 4 inches and waited a few feet behind view of the door.

after 25 minutes, RAC came to my door and started knocking on it. I could hear them say, Just go in and get the TV.

I waited for a few minutes while whoever was at the door made a few phone calls.

He then decided it was a good idea to just walk into my house.

as soon as he walked in, I came full force and hit him with all of my power and knocked him cold out. his buddy was in the car at that time, so I picked him up, rolled him onto the porch and shut my door.

I will say, they called the police, but as I told the police. "I walked into my livingroom and saw a man coming into my house. The only thing i could do was protect myself"


So here I am, 6 months later, Not one visit or call. Just letters in the mail.
