Aerus

On 9/28/during a visit to the Big E in West Springfield I was approached by Eric [redacted] a salesperson for Aerus out of the Palmer, MA franchise I was not in the market to purchase a vacuum but after continued urging by Eric I "was convinced" I needed a vacuum so I signed a sales agreement with financing being done through Synchrony BankPer the sales agreement I had days to cancel this purchase After going home and thinking about this purchase I decided this was not a good time for this expensive purchase so on 9/30/I contacted the main office of Aerus and explained my need to cancel my agreement, who referred me to the local franchise (Palmer, MA) I spoke to whoever answered the phone and told them my need to cancel my purchase and again gave them my contract number They said I needed to speak directly with my salesperson, Eric [redacted] On 9/30/I sent an email to Eric informing him of my cancellationLater that day he called me back and I told him I was cancelling my purchase He tried for several minutes to convince me not to cancel but I said no I thought everything was okay (because I never received the vacuum) until a month later I received a bill from Synchrony Bank for a $for a vacuum I canceled and never received So I immediately contacted Synchrony who said I needed to contact Aerus to try and resolve this which I did and was told that this is normally cleared up by the second billing (from speaking with the person at Aerus it appears this happens quite often because she had an answer for me immediately.) I continued to check my account with Synchrony and did not see any credit issued so I contacted Synchrony again and said I wanted to dispute this purchase so they took down my information and said they would resolve it Now I am receiving calls from the collection dept at Synchrony demanding payment of this purchase I asked the collection agent if she had access to notes on their system because I made a dispute to this claim She did see the notes and said it would be resolved Because both the agents from Synchrony had heavy accents there was a communication problem I called the Palmer office again and asked to speak with a manager because I felt Synchrony was not following up with this issue and the person on the phone gave me the same answer as the first person weeks ago that by the second billing I should see a credit Well I have now received my second billing with a late charge and no credit In the meantime my credit report is receiving derogatory remarks because of this I have now contacted the main office of Aerus and person this is trying to help me resolve this - she contacted the Palmer franchise and spoke to the manager there who knew nothing about this I'm beginning to think there are some dishonest sale people at this franchise who are putting through canceled orders in order to receive their commission My cousin was with me at the time of my purchase and she happened to purchase a vacuum as well She has received her vacuum and loves it My complaint is not with the product but with the Palmer franchise and its sales people

On 9/28/16 during a visit to the Big E in West Springfield I was approached by Eric [redacted] a salesperson for Aerus out of the Palmer, MA franchise. I was not in the market to purchase a vacuum but after continued urging by Eric I "was convinced" I needed a vacuum so I signed a sales agreement with financing being done through Synchrony Bank. Per the sales agreement I had 3 days to cancel this purchase. After going home and thinking about this purchase I decided this was not a good time for this expensive purchase so on 9/30/16 I contacted the main office of Aerus and explained my need to cancel my agreement, who referred me to the local franchise (Palmer, MA). I spoke to whoever answered the phone and told them my need to cancel my purchase and again gave them my contract number. They said I needed to speak directly with my salesperson, Eric [redacted] On 9/30/16 I sent an email to Eric informing him of my cancellation. Later that day he called me back and I told him I was cancelling my purchase. He tried for several minutes to convince me not to cancel but I said no. I thought everything was okay (because I never received the vacuum) until a month later I received a bill from Synchrony Bank for a $1000 for a vacuum I canceled and never received. So I immediately contacted Synchrony who said I needed to contact Aerus to try and resolve this which I did and was told that this is normally cleared up by the second billing (from speaking with the person at Aerus it appears this happens quite often because she had an answer for me immediately.) I continued to check my account with Synchrony and did not see any credit issued so I contacted Synchrony again and said I wanted to dispute this purchase so they took down my information and said they would resolve it. Now I am receiving calls from the collection dept at Synchrony demanding payment of this purchase. I asked the collection agent if she had access to notes on their system because I made a dispute to this claim. She did see the notes and said it would be resolved. Because both the agents from Synchrony had heavy accents there was a communication problem. I called the Palmer office again and asked to speak with a manager because I felt Synchrony was not following up with this issue and the person on the phone gave me the same answer as the first person weeks ago that by the second billing I should see a credit. Well I have now received my second billing with a late charge and no credit. In the meantime my credit report is receiving derogatory remarks because of this. I have now contacted the main office of Aerus and person this is trying to help me resolve this - she contacted the Palmer franchise and spoke to the manager there who knew nothing about this. I'm beginning to think there are some dishonest sale people at this franchise who are putting through canceled orders in order to receive their commission. My cousin was with me at the time of my purchase and she happened to purchase a vacuum as well. She has received her vacuum and loves it. My complaint is not with the product but with the Palmer franchise and its sales people.

They lost the attachments to my Dyson vacuum cleaner and procedded to tell me that they were never with the vacuum.I brought my Dyson vacuum in on 3/1/2014 for service and was told that I would get a call in a couple of days. I never received a call I had to call them repeatedly after 28 days my vacuum was repaired but when I picked to up the attachments were not there. I contacted them and they said they would look into it, again I never received a call from them I had to call several time and was always told that the were looking into it. Finally on 5/22/2014 after still not hearing drom them I called again and was told that they said the attachments were never with the vacuum.

High pressure sales to my 84 year old parent to purchase vacuum. We cannot get answer back whether we may return. Owner stated she would respond.

I have called Aerus corporate number in Bristol,VA. and the local dealer in Palmer, MA and the salesman. The store in Palmer I have spoken to 2 women who will "relay" the messages to "owner "multiple times . On September 4th a representative came to my mother's home in Dover MA and was delivering tile cleaner and letting her know the Wellesley store had closed (she knew that ,they'd closed some time ago . The Aerus store he came from is 1 hour 20 minutes away. My mother is 84 and my 3 siblings and I are very upset by this strong-armed sales to an elderly mother . He then asked to see and test her vacuum He said it was not sucking well, and demonstrated her Electrolux own vacuum that is used bi-weekly ,and works well .As I continue I am speaking the words told to me by her caregiver whom I have asked to write down the interaction, and my mother's recount of the meeting. [redacted] then said that he felt it would be $500-$600 to "fix it up, motor etc" when it needed it. When using the "new" demo he found a lot of dirt, "lots and lots the old one was leaving behind" I personally use this vacuum and it works well. [redacted] stated on Monday the 15th at 10:30 am having finally reaching him after 5 days of calling ,corporate calls and calls to the Palmer office , that indeed her vacume did work when I asked what was wrong with it. Yes, it is old but that is what Electrolux prides it's self on (my words). I am told by caregiver:He then demonstrated all over her living room , overly friendly showed photographs of family, child with golf clubs, went back and forth saying that he would get this $2,000 vacuum down in price..made 3 trips to the phone "tryin g to get the price down from my boss"back and forth, when she, my mother Brooks, began to ask about the price he would go again "got to make a call,let me see, I will get you a better price.." She took his pitch, he took her old in good working order, vacuum and her check for $1,328.13 and left an 84 year old woman now embarrassed and ashamed she let this happen. I learned on the 10th or 12th and started to try to nicely work this out along with my 3 sibling's encouragement to address this issue. I asked for the old vacume back- I can't not until the "higher-ups" make their decision [redacted] told me. He said to call "the office" [redacted] I would assume would have reached out to me/us by now, she'sd said she'd call or returned a simple phone call. I apparently missed her being in the office several times ,twice again today.I feel this is egregious, aggressive predatory sales on the elderly. I have been calm and courteous but must reach out to try to resolve this. I would be happy to drive the "demo" Vacume vacuum he brought WITH him, then sold to her, and deliver back to Palmer and take back our old vacuum or be given an appropriate replacement. I have to take my mother away from 9/20-10/1 but will have voice mail and email access. I will be in a time zone 6 hours ahead. I will be leaving the still unused by us "new demo vacuum " enclosed safely, still un-used , in an airtight rubbermaid bin at the back door for pick up. My brother\'s and I would like a refund of my mother\'s Bank of America check dated 9/4/14 #5622 $1,328.13 . Elextrolux has always been a great company and never thought I would be trying to resolve an issue like this with you. The advantage taken of an older woman who is also recently widowed just adds to our trying to grasp how truly wrong this was and represents the lowest form of salesmanship.
