If i could leave 0 stars i would. We no longer wont the item we where renting, and they have rild us multiple times that they would come and get it. Instead they are calling mone and my wifes family that has nothing to do with our agreement. WE NEVWR HAVE GIVEN THEM ANYONES NUMBER FOR 1! They are calling and harassing family i have not even spoke too recently. Somehow getting there phone numbers and calling them when we have recently told them to come get the computer. DO NOT RENT FROM HERE. They will harass your entire family. Another thing is they have yet to even call my phone but calls family they dont evn know. IF THEY WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN HARASSING MY FAMILY MAYBE I WOULD HAVE KEPT THE ITEM! Literally the worst place ever. DO NOT RENT ANYTHING FRKM HERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET HARASED!

If I could give zero stars thats what this place deserves. They are rude and disrespectful they have no communication at all one person will say one thing and then another person will say something totally different. I wouldn't recommend this place.

Wish I could leave zero stars!! Walked in today browsing with an idea of getting a new tv , The store manager Danielle was on her phone instead of assisting me with no sense of a customer being there !! She proceeded to act like I wasn’t there and carried on a conversation with a worker in the store my husband over heard a few of unprofessional words she was sharing with Erica I believe. This however isn’t the first time we’ve had issues with Erica our son rented with rent a center missed one payment and she was cussing and arguing with him about taking stuff back my son has never made a late payment prior to that. Over the phone the store manager handled the situation , so I came in having high hopes for her , wish things turned out differently but now I see that whole store needs new staff !
