Never again going with RAC after being a loyal customer for over 2 years. I have paid off some items before and started a new contract with new items. I came to realize I was just paying big $$ and not owning it. Decided to turn in my items for a phone to reduce the payment. Terrible customer service!! No help whatsoever! I was being misinformed constantly! I went to different stores each store gave me a different answer. I would call my store back and would be given false promises. The managers/supervisors were rude! I could tell they were annoyed. Ended up not getting a phone, they lost a customer. I was literally begging them to take my money I did not want to leave RAC but they push me off the cliff. Not worth my time or money. Please Go with their competitors like Aaron's they're faster,effecient,and cheaper!!

I pay for the benefits plus and I have not recieevd help paying my bill. I feel if I am paying for the benefits plus I should get help. I am starting to rate this store in loveland co as a 0 because that is not fair to me.

By far the worst and most unprofessional company I have every delt with! There management and employees sexually harass females. I missed a payment due to the Coronavirus and there employed contacted me on EVERY one of my personal social media platforms. Taking my first and last legal name off of legal document I had signed with them. To harass me and sexualize me. The manager Steve was one of the culprits so I had no where to turn to speak to a professional... they refused me the contact info to there district manager for months... I stopped making the payments as I was scared to go into there store as I’m a single 20 year old female being harassed by 40 year old grown men. They began to show up at my house and I began getting letters. I finally got ahold of a district manager and spoke with him. He did not take the situation seriously whatsoever and I was extremely disappointed. I made a deal with them to continue payments until I was told that I would need to pay $3800 for a bedset. I decided that i wouldn’t want to be tied to there horrible company for the next few years and decided to schedule a pick up date for the bedset. They are the most ignorant unprofessional people I have ever come in contact with. They offered no help whatsoever during the coronavirus pandemic and only harassed there customers... save yourself time and money... Butte Mt 59701

I've missed payments due to this coronavirus shut down and other people have the same situation so rent a center sent me a letter claiming they need me to schedule a date to pick up the bed. I purchased with them I've paid over a 1000 dollars already I'm not giving them the furniture back also they should not be taking furniture back then putting it up for resale due to the coronavirus that's nasty do not buy anything from rent a center might catch the virus.

Worst store manager ever! 822 west arkansas lane arlington tx odered front loading washer and dryer online - manager changed to top loading - had that corrected no big deal. Told him that I work until 5 will not be able to accept anything until after 5. Driver did not call and just showed up to deliver at 3. Told driver I scheduled you for after 5 because I am at work. Called store and got another manager let him know I was unhappy with the way it transpired he told store manager. Store manager called me back and said he refunded my money and cancelled my account because - no real reason was given. He said because I was unsatisfied, if I was that unsatisfied I would have canceled the order myself. Complete Jerk and should not be a store manager you do not treat people that pay your salary that way because you were and your driver were wrong!

I'm getting payment reminders in emails. I don't have anything in my house from Rent A center. Somebody needs to hit the right buttons on that computer. Get me off your email.

I rented a power recliner for a few months. I needed it to recoup from surgery to replace my right shoulder joint. I have a manual recliner, but its handle is on the right side. I searched the internet like crazy to find a left-hand manual, but apparently, they don't exist. Lay-Z-Boy would custom make one, but it takes a couple of months and you have to spend several hundred dollars to buy it. I give all this detail so it's clear that I had no practical choice but to rent a power recliner with a handheld controller that can be use with either hand. Unfortunately, RAC was the only place I could find within a reasonable distance to my home that had such an item for rent. This chair was a short-term rental, but the application process was the same as if I was purchasing the chair on long-term financing. The process required that I give much more personal information (e.g., my Social Security number, which I refused to do) than necessary. I sometimes rent tools and don't have to go through anywhere near the lengthy, personal application process that RAC requires. Upon reviewing the final contract more closely after returning home, I saw that I was charged for a "Benefits Plus" program. The RAC sales person did not tell me anything about this program and I had no idea what it was. However, buried in the back of the lengthy final paperwork there was a description of the program and a box was checked saying that I agreed to pay $13 per month for the benefit. The "benefit" is largely worthless "accidental death and dismemberment" insurance--probably the biggest legal rip-off product in the insurance industry. I called the RAC person who prepared my contract and pointed out that he had never told me about the Benefits Plus program and did not ask my permission to check the box agreeing to join it. That person said it was his mistake and that he'd have the charge reversed. However, it took several days and a couple of follow-up calls before it happened. In the meantime, multiple vague and confusing excuses were given for the delay. The chair I received worked flawlessly and met my needs. However, it was not clean. I used my own leather cleaner, elbow grease and time to work it over. It looked dramatically better afterward. I should not have had to clean this chair. I ended up returning the chair in better condition than I received it. During the multi-month rental period, I did not receive any notices that monthly payments were coming due. I paid attention to the due dates and so contacted RAC when a due date was near. Since I could not make a payment online, I had to either drive to the RAC store (which was not particularly close) or make a payment over the phone by reading them my credit card number (a process I'm not comfortable with). I have never had any business fail to notify me when payments are coming due. The notices are at least a week in advance of the due date and many businesses send multiple notices. Forgive my cynicism, but the absence of notice appears to be a RAC company policy, and I wonder if it’s intentional with the expectation that many customers will end up being late on their payments and thus enabling RAC to charge a late fee. I felt the monthly rental rate ($116.97) was exorbitant. Fortunately, the law requires that a business disclose the true costs of any financing they provide to customers who desire to pay for their purchases over time. Consequently, RAC had to include this information in the contract. RAC's own contract says that a customer can buy the chair on time for ll monthly payments of $116.97 for a total cost of $1,268.86, OR pay cash up front of $563.94. In other words, over the course of a year, a customer who is paying monthly to own the chair (a used chair, mind you), will pay over $1,200 for a chair that RAC only values at under $600. One hundred percent interest over a year?! What a racket. Finally, when it came time for the chair to be picked up, RAC was over two hours later than the appointment window they promised. This was very inconvenient and upset other plans I had for that day. In summary my feelings about RAC are as follows: 1. RAC is a very, very expensive way to buy or even short-term rent furniture. 2. The customer service (dirty chair; failure to meet deadlines) is lacking. 3. I am highly skeptical of the company's ethics (signing up customers without their knowledge for a costly "benefit" that is, in my opinion, essentially worthless; and apparently intentionally failing to provide customers notice of coming payment due dates).

If I could rate this location a zero star I would!!!!! Most unprofessional manger and employees. Employee Josh is rude and arrogant every time I come in to make a payment. I finally got a chance to speak to his manger Steve and he was just as rude hence why the employee was so rude. Lead by example right! The manger Steve was very hostile and aggressive!!! PLEASE PLEASE take my advice and just save the trouble and your money and not rent from this company please save your dollar and go to AARON'S where there is professionalism and respect for the customers. There's no reason why a a simple bill payment ruin my whole day please save your dollar !!!!!!!!
