Aaron's Sales And Lease Ownership Harrarsement a day after the due date!! Ripoff Oak Grove Louisiana

You obviously did not read your lease agreement where it states that if you do not pay on or before your due date a $5.00 late fee will incur. Second, You got a washer dryer and a computer with 50% off the first payment and your complaining. And that is why most people come to aarons cause they don't have the money to go to a regular furniture store as you call it. And when you don't make your payment on or before your due date, aaron's does not have to service your computer. It's called you ASP has expired....something else you failed to read.

While you are right about people not getting paid on the 1st or 15th all the time, why didn't you pay them on the date YOU said you would? As an empoyee of Aaron's I see this all the time. People are happy when they get there merchandise, sign the agreement, then when its time for a payment they usually say "well I don't get paid 'till next week". We have revenue goals to hit. We are trying to make a living and bonuses help. We count on that money. We count on making the customer happy because wewant you to pay off what you have then buy something else.

As a former employee of Rent-A-Center which is basically the same, it is clearly their fault. In the Rent to own business your payments are supposed to be set up to fall two days after you are paid to help keep ypu from being late. If you get paid on the 5th and 20th your payments should be due on the 7th and 22nd or you could pay a months payment but it should still fall on the 7th or 20th depending on which day you paid the month.

Also with Aaron's you only getr a year to pay off the items. with RAC at least your payments are lower with longer agreements. I would suggest returning the computer your self to make sure it happens because the longer they wait to pick it up, the more back rent will accumulate. All rto's are this way. Also if your payment is over 2 days late they can reposses the merchandise because as per your agreement it is not yours until paid in full. so if you think you will have a hard time making your payments on time just return the stuff. I dunno about Aaron's but RAC has lifetime reinstatement. If you rent a TV and pay $500 into it you can a year later rent the same model or a similar priced tv and all the previous money will be applied. Don't get me wrong. RAC does the same things if you are late on payments as far as phone calls and the like but it sounds like this particular store is going above and beyond what is accepteble. Hope I helped you out.
