      I need a chance to start my life with a new start and I believe your people are willing to to give me that chance, I had divorced my husband in 2-22, Social security said I work and make as much money as can they don't even keep record of my earnings,

      EXCELLENT website!!!!!!! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting a prepaid card for everything that you sign up for because even when you change your debit card THE BANK gives them you new card number THAT IS CORRECT .......THE BANK STILL HONORS THEM so go to the bank close that account open a new one THEN put it on a prepaid card after 2 months of trying they will stop It is a shame the banks do not look out for you AND YOU ARE THE CUSTOMER it's not like the bank is charging THEM a fee BUT they do charge YOU ONE. Oh and by the way they will still charge you again in a couple months EVEN IF YOU STOP IT ........The only autopay I do is electric water etc something mandatory that I know I will not cancel.

      The listing prices are not correct, and in some cases much, much less (i.e. RentToOwn price: $160K vs. actual MSL price $275K). Beware!
      When I cancelled, I was sent a confirmation email noting that I still had access for a month (which I don't want!). This probably would trigger the $49 monthly fee, which I certainly don't want. I called back to speak with a supervisor to be sure it is clear that I no longer want any access, and my card shouldn't be charged. I hope it works.

      The rentbeforeowning.com has been trying to continue to take money from me out of my account I done cancel my subscription but it won't let me cancel my membership but they still continue to take money out it needs to stop before I take further actions out.

      When telling you to sign up for a membership, they don't tell you that they're going to charge you 50$. Fraudulent and pushy website.

      Its total B.S!! I cancelled within an hour of getting it, and cancelled a second time. Was charged twice, and now fighting for my money to be refunded.
      Dont use it!!!!!

      Like everyone else, this is not a true Rent to Own site. Most are pre foreclosed listings, or outdated and not even for sale. In my opinion, This site should actually be considered fraudulent.

      I knew this was too good to be true but went ahead and signed up. Within a half hour on their website I saw two houses I was interested in that said "for sale by owner" I followed up by calling the telephone number the website provided for the home owners and both said their houses WERE NOT FOR SALE!! I couldn't believe it! This was a total scam. I called immediately and canceled my "subscription" and they sent an email confirming the cancelation, however, reading all these complaints I'm concerned it won't be that easy. I will continue to check to see if they are still charging me in the future. Terrible, just terrible.
