your employees have harassed me time and time again. people face financial hardship and unforeseen circumstances in life sometimes and i have never not paid my bill, while i have paid late however i have never not paid you. the harassment that i’ve faced over the course of this year from your employees calling me over and over again like an abusive ex boyfriend sometimes 10-15 times in a matter of 10 minutes while im at work or even traveling for work due to one missed payment. your employees have showed up at my apartment banging on my door as if they are the police. once my bill is fully paid off and i truly wish i had the money to pay you off completely today however unfortunately i don’t due to rent, electric, car payment, car insurance, renters insurance, student loans, credit card payments etc. because you know life and i only make so much. i do not appreciate the harassment and what ive experienced from your employees and your company and i will never ever do business with you ever again. I will also advise anyone who asks me to never do business with you due to the harassment i’ve experienced from your employees.

My roommate and I went in today looking for a washer and dryer. We were browsing the dryers, my roommate opens a black matte whirlpool dryer and there were 2 ROACHES just sitting on the ledge. The guy came over, poked them with his pen and they scattered. We definitely won't be back. His excuse was "oh, they must not have been cleaned out" a complaint with corporate was filed too. DO NOT GO THERE UNLESS YOU ENJOY COCKROACHES🪳
