Yeah I get you need to make money but come on now. I gave you guys $15,000 dollars for $2000 dollars worth of stuff. I never missed a single payment with them and got a lot of stuff because i lived paycheck to paycheck. Paid everything off. Because i was such a good customer my ex goes in using my name to get stuff. Tele-A-Rent gets the worst review ever. My ex-wife got a laptop from them and now EVERY single week they call me for HER PAYMENT. I never signed anything EVER for her laptop but they keep saying it is my account too. The call me, message me and email me EVERY Friday. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH HER LAPTOP. They even come to my home leaving notes on the door when SHE DOESN'T EVEN LIVE HERE!!!!! Worst review I have ever given. Nobody and i mean nobody should ever go to this rent a center. WORST PEOPLE EVER. Old management was good but the new 2 tumbs down. AVOID AT ALL COST GOING TO THIS RENT A CENTER. If you have to rent to own pick anywhere else but Tele-A-Rent. To the reply: It is that simple everyone. Don't let this terrible management make you think different.

When we first moved to Missouri 23yrs ago we needed decent furniture. We rented quite a few things over a 3yr period. We even bought a riding mower from them. ☺️ Great customer service and friendly employees. It's been over 15yrs since we used rental service. Today my daughter used them and the man behind the desk remember her from when she was a toddler. He even remembered our names. I was shocked. When you rent from them they treat you like family.
