Today July 11th, 2024, an employee from Aaron's called me regarding payment, that was due today. The employee left me a very rude voicemail and I was told to "call the store to make payment TODAY" I know my payment is due today. Then they proceeded to call me 2 more times by 11:00AM. This is extremely unprofessional and rude. I called the store and asked to speak with a manager who then charged me a "late fee" because according to him my payment was "late" when the payment is not late my payment is due today, the day is not over. I have made on time payments and had been in meetings at work all day. He would not waive the late fee or adjust for his rude associate. This specific Aaron's in *********, ** has the most unprofessional employees and they should not be treating customers as such. They also did not give me the items I ordered for almost 2 months due to it being on "back order" and then didn't have another part that I had to wait for.Business response

I purchased a sectional sofa from Aarons a couple months ago. I decided on Monday 07/08/24, that I no longer want or need the sectional, contacted the store in ********** and spoke with some one on that same day to pick up the couch, advised that I wasnt home but my two children 20 and 19 will be there. I told my kids that since it will be two women moving the furniture it might be easy for the to use the garage door so they dont have to walk far. A few minutes my daughter FaceTime me to show that the damaged my garage door, paint was ripped off the metal piece the door connects to was ripped off, drag marks were made on my hallway wall along with damage to the molding work on the floor. I contacted the store immediately and ask to speak to a manager she didnt want to get on the phone but told the lady to have me send the pictures to her phone, which I did. She stated she would call me back that day and let me know what they will do. I called the store three days in a row with no call back. Finally today after I called again the manager gets on the phone and tells me the girl stated that my door was damaged before the moved the couch. (The house is 2 years old) and it look like some one kick my door in. I told her that was not the case there is not damage to the house and if they had trouble going through the garage door they should just use the front. The mover girl gets on the phone and started screaming and yelling that I was lying and the door was damaged. I advised her I have proof(pictures) before and after to show the damage was done that day. She continued to yell and scream on the phone that ** lying manager gets back on and started to accuse me of lying, and stated Aarons is not paying for any damages. I stated I have them on security camera Throwing the furniture around. I just asked for them to fix the damage that is it. I pictured and video proof.Business response

I bought a washer and dryer with Aaron. They subscribe me to the Aaron Clubs so I can have warranty and extended warranty for my equipments. Last week my dryer broke, I called based on the Aaron Club warranty. They file the complaint but It came out that my extended warranty expired on Sep 2023 but they have been withdrawing a $5.32 EZPAY every two weeks without notifying me that my warranty was expired. Now I have my dryer broke and they can not provide me a repair service. I want to resolve this situation, or they should return me all the money they retrieve from my account since September 2023 or they repair or replace my dryer and the extended warranty provides. I felt that they robbed me, they steal my money when they will not provide the promised service.Business response

I am rejecting this response because: When they sell me the Aarons Club was based on the warranty. I didnt used any addition perks as they call them, because I was not provided with that information.The answer from Aarons is not acceptable, the must assume their responsibility. The charge me for something they were not able to provide. This is false advertisement, they steal my money. This must be public information; who knows how many other customers are still paying based on false expectations.
Aarons is not a truthfully business.

I bought a refrigerator from Aarons back in May 2022 I paid it off May 9 2024 6 days later The refrigerator tore up so I called Aarons to see if they could fix it considering I just paid it off And they said it was under a 30 day warranty of me paying off and if they could fix it, they come to pick it up on May 21. It is now July 1 and they called me to tell me that the refrigerator is unrepairable and asked me if I wanted to scrap it and then they could give me another refrigerator for a price for me to pay for whole new refrigerator. I told them no that they should either fix mine or give me one that works! I paid $3,000.00 for this refrigerator that didnt last two years. I need someone to step in and help bc I feel Like they are just s******* me over. And if I was to let them scrap the refrigerator who to say that they wouldnt fix it and then sell it to someone else so I told them I wanted the refrigerator back.Business response

On Sept 02, 2022 I purchased a GE washer and membership from Aaron's. I set my payments up on their ez pay program. Not one payment was ever late or missed and the washer was paid off on June 30, 2023. In April of this year I started having major issues with the washer so I went to the store and spoke with the manager about what was going on and how to get it fixed. My washer was picked up and sent away to be fixed and it was all major issues and came back almost 6wks later worse then it was before it was sent away to be fixed. I have spoken to the regional manager ******************* on several occasions and was told no more money would be spent to fix again and would be replaced. Last week they tried replacing it with a beat up scratched up used washer that I declined. I have tried several times to get this issue resolved and just keep getting excuses and brushed off.Business response

Aaron's rent to own website had a deal for $1 down and auto payments each month. They stated they would deliver. I never got delivery and was not contacted. I called the store and the customer service line. I asked them to cancel my contract multiple times over multiple days and calls. My contract is still showing active and now they want money for a product I never received. When I talked to the general manager she told me to get my own truck they don't deliver. I've asked for a call back from the regional manager. No call. I should not be required to pay for items that were never delivered as promised and I can't go pick up by myself. That's why I got delivery items, I knew I needed help. I've gone through aaron's before and was a very satisfied customer. I don't want their services after this. I want them reported for false advertising. I want them reported for scam contracts and taking peoples money with no goods delivered in return. I want them reported for their store and their customer service line both saying they canceled my contract when they didn't. They should not be able to operate a business where they scam their customers.Business response

Aaron's is charging me late fees on an early payment. I rent furniture from Aaron's. My payments are semi-monthly -- on the 7th and 22nd of each month. My last payment was paid on 6/7/24, and my next payment is due tomorrow, 6/22/24. I called the store today (6/21/24) to make this payment early and was informed that the payment I was about to make would include 2 late fees of $4.65 each (1 fee per item, because I rent 2 items from them) for a total of $9.30 in late fees. I was informed that their system assessed late fees automatically after unsuccessfully attempting to charge my card 1 day early, and because the charge did not go through automatically, and I instead called to make the payment manually, that there was nothing they could do about the late fees for this day-early payment.Business response
