I rented a dryer from Aaron's in McAlester. I have 2 payments it broke I sent it back they provided a loner ( with a bad heating element) of lesser value.Business Response
Date: 04/14/2025
Aarons has attempted to provide 3 temporary dryers to Mr. ******** All 3 have failed to work in Mr.******** residence and at least 2 began emitting smoke when they were plugged in. This indicates that Mr. ******** residence appears to have an electrical problem. Aarons employees attempted to notify Mr. ******* about this issue but Mr. ******* was not receptive to any communication from Aarons employees about the issues causing the problems with his dryer. Additionally, in his communications with Aarons employees, Mr. ******* has been belligerent,aggressive, threatening, and has directed profane and vulgar insults towards Aarons employees. Such behavior is unacceptable. Our Regional Manager informed Mr. ******* on March 22, 2025, that as a result of his actions, Aarons would no longer do business with him. Aarons is open to refunding Mr. ******** last two rental payments provided Mr. ******* returns all rented merchandise to Aarons. Mr. ******* should contact his local store and make return and refund arrangements.Customer Answer

I have 4 accounts with ********************************************* and I watch it very closely on line I make my payments and if my card is locked they call and I turn my card on so they can get there payment. I also understand that if its a day late there is a 8/9 late fee. But as Im going over my accounts something just doesnt look right and I have brought this up to them before and they claim they cant see the on line accounts or what it shows us. With this being said lets do my tv for example I paid ***** they took 3 payments just today and have one set up next week march 26 $***** and march 27th for $55, I know something isnt right and this really needs to be looked at because I also understand I pay way extra for this stuff due to bad credit but come on my agreement was for this tv to cost me like 30 bucks a month or something (dont know exactly off the top of my head) and just today I made 3 payments plus last week? If you can help me great if not I will need to seek someone further to look into this.Business Response

On March 15, 2025, I received notification that my claim was denied, and I would like to express my concerns about the reasons provided:1. **Proof of Loss Timing**: My claim was denied because it was said that proof of loss was not submitted within 90 days. I filed my claim on January 25, 2025, which is within the required timeframe.2. **Exclusion Due to Mental Disorder**: The denial states that my unemployment is attributed to a mental disorder. I would like to clarify that my disability is classified as ******* Migraine with Aura, which does not fit this exclusion.3. **Non-Club Member Status**: I was informed that my claim was denied due to being flagged as a non-club member. I began my club payments at the start of my plan, as confirmed by the store manager.4. **Contract Start Date**: The denial mentioned contract terms requiring contracts to start on or after my last day of work. I would appreciate clarification on how this applies to my situation.5. **Employment Duration**: It was stated that I was neither unemployed nor on leave for more than thirty days, which is inaccurate, as I was employed until October 1, 2024.I feel that AArons may not be fully fulfilling their obligations in this matter, and I am frustrated with the lack of support from the Better Business Bureau. I kindly request a thorough review of my situation and a re-evaluation of my claim.I have always fulfilled my obligations by paying my dues, and I hope for a fair resolution from AArons. While I am willing to cover my portion, I believe its only fair for the club to pay their share as well.Individuals who work hard should not be disadvantaged by complex policies. I hope for a resolution that reflects fairness and integrity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.Business Response
