Customer reviews
I’m really disappointed with how my account was handled. There was zero communication as I got close to my “same as cash” deadline. I was only about $200 away from paying off my furniture and then, out of nowhere, my balance jumped to around $1,600. Part of that is on me for not tracking it perfectly, but I was making extra payments specifically to hit the same-as-cash window, and the store knew that. I understand the profit model, but the lack of transparency and heads-up feels wrong. The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I won’t be using RAC again.
Tim, the store manager at Penn Yan has me down as a skip out, stolen item with my social security number. States on the record that he doesn't have to furnish me with any documentation. We'll see what exhaustion of remedies has I say about it. ... from The Better Business Bureau, Consumer Affairs to the NY State Attorney General up to and including a Civil Court Judge - has to say about slander and falsifying business records. The store refuses to furnish a document with my signature. Why? Because they don't have it. Steer clear of Rent A Center in Penn Yan!
Love the people at my local store. If ever a problem they understand that life happens and are willing to help.
Bought a lot of items from here. Staff is always more than willing to help and are great getting anything in that I request, I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks so much to all the staff at Penn Yan Rent-A-Center for your help and courtesy!
