Inside Rent-A-Center

What you can rent here

Launched in 1973 in Wichita, Kansas, it was the first national chain to scale the rent-to-own model, building standardized showrooms stocked with new, name-brand merchandise. Stores carry furniture, appliances, electronics, computers, mattresses, gaming, and smartphones on flexible weekly or monthly lease agreements, and like most rent-to-own stores they typically do not require a traditional credit check. Rent-A-Center holds a 4-star Google rating across more than 152,000 reviews. Compare Rent-A-Center on VRTO alongside other rent-to-own stores near you, with hours, ratings, and what each carries.

I would not recommend this Rent a center to NO ONE!!! our bill was due today Monday and a guy who thinks he's big time Mr. Repo man comes to our door demanding our stuff back (computer & plat station 5). I took the computer and play station outside n placed it by his truck door as he was no where to be found. Out of no where he pops up n sees the stuff on the ground. (Like I'm going to stand there n hold it until he decides to come back) He says did you throw it down I told him no I placed it on the ground. He started in on me well if it's broken you are paying for it. Again I repeated no it's not broken he chases me up my stairs yelling at me if it's broken he's paying for it (talking about my husband). I felt threatened by him as he actually chased me up my stairs. I told him to get off my property he got his stuff back what more does he want? (Does he want to sit here and argue?) Why else would he chase me up my stairs yelling about us paying for it if it's broken. I already told him I placed it on the ground n it's not broken so why was he chasing me? So yes I felt treated. I told him I was calling the police. And I was able to get in my house where I was safe from that Maniac. Like I said our bill was due today and he was here before noon repoing our stuff. What kinda stuff is that? We told them we got paid on Mondays n he tried to tell us the bill was due Friday. It was their mess up and they treat us like it was our fault. Again I strongly suggest not using this Rent a center I would advise going somewhere else than that place or any rent a center for that matter being they want to act like that. He would not give me his name and he didn't have a name tag on. If they say that stuff was broken they broke it trying to get more money out of us because I placed it on the ground. I had to give 1 star to post this review that's sad because I'd give them minus starts they don't deserve any!!!

The manager is very disrespectful to people of color her and someone named Lee . I was approved online I called and was told that I was on a blacklist of people who could not rent I have never given them any problems if I couldn’t pay for my stuff I gave it back .I have a recording from the manager Teresa which I am seeking to turn over to someone for the way she talked to me and about my family and anyone with my last name. I don’t understand what she has against me but I’m not going to be spoke to the way she does people when they come in the store but I stood up to her being a bully and she didn’t like it. Something need to be done about this or I will be seeking legal advice.Joliet store
