HHGregg Does not honor promises Orlando, Sanford, Lakeland Florida

This is a warning to Florida residents. HHGregg has opened 4 stores in Florida. You will find complaints on the Internet. Here is my experience: When we moved to Bloomington, Indiana, we bought all of our major appliances from HHGregg. We paid for all of them by check. Our checks had our local Bloomington address, but the bank was out of state. Since our in-state address was on the checks, they considered them to be in-state checks. Since then, we made many purchases and paid for them all by check. None of them were ever questioned. We went to purchase a VHS recorder which was on sale. They were out of the model advertised. The salesman brought us the next higher model, at the same price (which was their advertised policy at the time, and may still be). When we went to check-out, the cashier would not accept the check because it was drawn on an out of state bank. We got the store manager and explained that the checks had always been accepted, with HHGregg's knowledge that they were drawn on an out-of-state bank. The manager would not accept it. It was obvious that the reason for not accepting the check was that they did not want to honor their promise because it would mean a loss on that sale. We went to another store and purchased the VHS recorder. We have not done business with HHGregg since. We wrote to corporate headquarters and never received a reply. I want to do all I can to notify Florida residents to be wary of this company due to my experience and other complaints, some of which can be found on the internet.
