What customers are saying

Recent reviews from rent-to-own stores in Columbia.

Very helpful and do what they can to assist. I was out in a work injury and they took care of me. They helped get me back on track after I got back to working again. Only issue I’ve had is sometimes the payments don’t seem to be right, seems like there’s extra fees sometimes but overall great experience with them
