I’ve been a customer through the Rent-A-Center since 2004 and I have the worst experience talking to the manager from Santa Maria Daniel very unprofessional, raising his voice at me didn’t give me a chance to explain. They messed up on my contract with paying biweekly and it was the opposite Daniel was Yelling at me on the phone.

Really bad experience. Anthony totally lied then didn't follow thru with what he said. Was extremely rude on the phone several times. Then when I called last said he didn't want to say something to upset me like I was the problem. The return policy where you can take a pause they don't follow up on picking up the item until your payment lapses. Then act like you broke the contract. So to avoid that from happening I tried the exchange program. He basically told me that unless I sign a contract for like 1,800 I'm out the 981.00 plus the 100 coupon from paying off another item at there store. When I said I called corporate and that's not what they said. He stated that there a franchise and it doesn't matter what corporate says. So basically I'm stuck waiting to call the number I saw on here for a resolution to this. And basically I was willing to pay the full contract and sign another when he lied and was rude several times on the phone. So I'm trying to not be out the money and continue with a new contract which I was advised they will try to not pick up and then go after me for the contract amount. The hardest part is trying to navigate thru the lies and come to a agreement. Even asking to speak with a district manager or someone does nothing. No return phone call all. Rent a center has had to pay out I think it said like 15 billion dollars. I feel they are still acting with the same practices.
