RENT A CENTER MUST BE DESPERATE!!

Those of who you read my previous entry about what was going on with Rent A Center know I was having an issue with them. Because I was stupid at the time I made the decision that we were going to get a  bunkbed for the boys and a 5 piece set for my daughter (if you go back about 2 entries you can see actual pics of the sets)I sooo much regret ever doing this!! They will rip you offf!! ANyway the issue  is due to finanicial madness we fell behind on a couple of payments(about 3 weeks).  Our payments were 70.00 a week.. So we owed 210.00. They had been calling off the hook and we finally spoke with them and we let them know that we were willing to pay what we owed them but that we have decided that we wanted to return the merchandise because it was wayy too expensive(I should have thought about that before I got them right) but anyway so they said ok and we agreed that they were going to come today and pick everything up.... After agonizing over the fact that my children were going to be sleeping on mattresses until Jan. I finally got over it and decided it was the best thing to do. SOO today comes and they call us to let us know that  they were going to come between 6 and 8, we asked them if they could make it earlier as our children's bedtime is at 8:00pm and they would be interfering with that and also the ssooner the better. They agreed that they would be here between 4 and 6:00pm.. OK FINE..... At about 5:00 we get a phone call from the store manager asking us what the problem was and if he could in any way help us fix it so that we could keep the furniture.... We basically told him the main issue was keeping up weekly payment as it was beyond our budget for now...TELL ME WHY store manager comes up with a proposition that is way too good to pass up.... Basically he let us know that he was going to waive the 210.00 not only that but he was going to give us until the 25th to start the payments again .....NOT only that but he was going to lower said payments from 70.00 to 50.00....WTH... I mean who would say no to that... I really did not want to have my children sleeping on mattresses.... SOOOO what ben and I decided to do was to accept their offer and come January NO MATTER WHAT we are going to send the furniture back and BUY them a set..... at least this gives us ample time to go around and look for better prices without me going crazy that I am a being a bad mother to have mykids on mattresses. I tell you one thing though RENT A CENTER IS ONE DESPERATE COMPANY...BUT all the better for me LOL.....

Take care and GOODNIGHT ALL....
