Hello,
I got a laptop and digital camera from Rent A Center. About 3-4 months after renting the items...the items were stolen by my brother in my apartment he lived there....in the contract it does state "Insurance does not cover a non breaking and entering theft." But it also states that "as long as I paid for my items up to date of loss I no longer have to pay up to date of loss."
So I stopped paying for something I no longer had. I started paying more attention to my other bills...more important....I gave them my Police Reports about 4 months ago and still haven't heard anything about it. I just stopped paying 3 weeks ago and they have continually harassed my friends and family members everyday for 2 weeks...I got yelled at from my friend saying that I really need to pay for it because she's getting sick of the calls....my sister called them back after they called her and this is their conversation.
"Hello I'm the Sister of Seth (LAST NAME) he has already given you a police report." The Rent A Center Rep said "We never got a police report he just gave us a buisness card." What the hell? I have given them the report those a**holes never faxed them to their main office. They lost my f*cking report. They finally took "The Last Step" by coming to my place of work and Harassing me there...they are lucky they came right before I started....they wouldn't have heard anything from me.
My customers are more important than they will ever be. Anyway......he kept saying that I have to keep paying or they will file "Theft Charges" hello you idiots....I already did. So I argued with the man and he then continued to speak to me calling me a "f****t" and that "I probally looked up gay porn with the laptop anyway." I will soon be filling out a Restraining Order against the Employee and the Company and if they try to sue me I will be counter suing for Harassment and Discrimination so obviously I will win that. But what do you think about this.....this is wrong taking advantage of me because I'm 19 and a Bisexual....they would never harass my mother if she did the same thing...they would drop the whole case.
So her along with a Attorney (Family Member) and her boyfriend and also me....will be going down to Rent A Center tomarrow to have a un easy conversation with them....I'm sick of being harrased and being called names for my sexuality. I have decided to Record My Phone Call's between me and Rent-A-Center untill the restraining order has been issued. I feel I was slandered and feel abused.

Whatta crock

This is such BS!!!! Plain and simple. You rented something.......you need to pay up. This kind of crap is EXACTLY why these places do the things they do.....why they give people the crap they do. If everyone that rented something from them cried wolf like you are......NO one would ever be able to rent anything from anywhere ever. You need to do some serious growing up. People like you screw these places over and over and then wonder why you get such crappy service and treatment. HOW would RAC even know you were bi-sexual if you hadnt told them for whatever stupid reason. Your age also has absolutely NOTHING to do with being stupid and irresponsible which is what you're being here.
YOU rented these things.......YOU Signed a freaking CONTRACT..you need to fess up and pay for the d**n thing. HONEST....HARD WORKING people get sick of the whining....you want absolution for scamming RAC and think by screaming that they called you names and "discriminated" against you will get it for you.
The name calling wasnt necessary by the employee IF it happened...which I doubt. Its nothing more than your way to absolve yourself of having to pay for something you CLAIM your brother stole.
Ive never dealt with RAC.......and hope to GOD I never do...I dont work there never have and never will..so spare me and the other readers that self righteous mantra.
Id love to hear what a lawyer would say when you claim discrimination....or the judge even. Theyd laugh you outta there so fast your head would spin

Since you like reading the letter of the law and like to have as little responsibility as possible you should know you have to pay them back. Your complaints are irrellevant. The police reports are not related to your debt to them , they can't do anything to help you absolve you of any financial debts that are legitimate. I should know I'm hunting after someone for ripping me off even for a small amount of money. Hey, pay up or else they can and will do those things and more like obtain a judement against you if your a no show in a civil court case as well.

Sexuality not the issue here.

""So I argued with the man and he then continued to speak to me calling me a 'f****t' and that 'I probally looked up gay porn with the laptop anyway.'
Highly doubtful that any employee would be stupid enough to make such comments. But, even if true you will be very hard pressed to PROVE it in court. It's basically "he said, she said". Further, it's irrelevant to the issue at hand-you lost an item that is not yours and they want the payment due them for it.
""I will soon be filling out a Restraining Order against the Employee and the Company and if they try to sue me I will be counter suing for Harassment and Discrimination so obviously I will win that.""
This situation is anything BUT obvious that you will prevail. Their waiver doesn't apply because there was no forced entry. You claim your brother stole it-perhaps you should sue your brother for the cost of the laptop. You are still responsible to meet the terms of the contract that you signed with them.
""But what do you think about this.....this is wrong taking advantage of me because I'm 19 and a Bisexual....they would never harass my mother if she did the same thing...they would drop the whole case. ""
I don't think they would drop it. If they were to drop every "it's stolen by a family member" case, NO ONE would ever fulfill their contract with them. Simply rent the item, claim it was stolen and presto you're off the hook. It doesn't work that way.
Your sexual preference is not the issue. Your lack of payment or return of the laptop is relevant and is required to fulfill your contract.

While the name calling and sarcastic comments were not called for, the requirement for you to pay is stated in the contract. I know because I went through the same thing. As you stated in the OP, since there was no breaking & entering the liabilty waiver in the contract can not be used to void the contract. Bottom line, you still owe for the merchandise even though it's not in your possesion. Talk with the manager, they may work out a deal on payoff so that you don't have to pay the full amount of your regular payments. But by the contract, you still owe the money.
