I feel like the customer service people could’ve helped more with the questions I had Especially since they were only about an email And I was told I had to go in on Monday to the office to fix that But I ended up fixing it myself. I figured it out so I Just didn’t appreciate the misleading information And I feel like she could’ve definitely helped me But instead, she just told me to go in on Monday, but other than that, Rent A center Is definitely a good place!!! And they’re giving Credit approvals Don’t miss your Opportunity! I got approved 🙏 But other than that With the lady not helping me, Rent-A-Center is great !

And being very disrespectful by his body language u can tell he was coming to cause a seen which he did and also scared my disabled daughter she woke up crying n screaming I paid off a bed from here before. But now the men in that place I don’t want nothing to do with the store I felt attacked harassed and felt like they were not being fair
