Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr***’s complaint. Our records show on 8/21/16, Mr*** purchased a *** high-efficiency washer and electric dryer that came with a limited 1-year manufacturer’s warranty on both units; no additional RSA coverage was purchased through
Conn’s. Mr*** was provided a copy of Conn’s Return & Exchange Policy at the time of purchase which states: A consumer has 30-days from the date the item is received to return or exchange (appliances and electronics) with the required 15% restocking fee. Mr*** elected to have his washer and dryer delivered; which was completed on 8/22/16. Mr*** signed his delivery ticket acknowledging his items were received in good order and that he thoroughly inspected his merchandise for damage for an exchange or price concession would not authorized for damage discovered after the delivery. After researching Mr***’s complaint we show he contacted us on 8/25/16 via email; stating he wanted to exchange his washer and dryer because the dryer did not have a stainless steel drum and requested to have the 15% restocking fee waived. The representative apologized to Mr*** for the inconvenience and advised him that we would not be able to waive the required 15% restocking fee. Our records indicate Mr*** contacted us on 8/26/16, 8/31/16, and9/01/16 requesting to have the restocking fee waived so he could initiate his exchange on his washer and dryer. Mr*** was informed each time that in order to return or exchange his washer and dryer the 15% restocking fee is required. At this time we are unable to honor Mr***’s request. Mr*** visited his local Conn’s on 8/21/16; he looked at the merchandise in the store before he purchased and signed off on the delivery slip accepting both washer and dryer. We also reviewed the advertisement at the time Mr***’s purchase was made and confirmed the dryer he purchased model (***) was not advertised as having a stainless steel drum. We have included a copy of the ad at the time of Mr***’s purchase in our response. If we may be of further assistance, Mr*** may contact our Customer Service Department at 1-877-358-1252. Kind regards, Jana A***

Mr*** elected to pick up his sofa and loveseat. We researched Mr***’ complaint and found he contacted us on 1/19/16; stating both sofa and loveseat legs were broken and the units were peeling. A service call was scheduled; during the inspection the serviceman found the sofa cushions, inside back and outside back pillows were peeling and (2) legs were broken. The serviceman also inspected Mr***’ loveseat and found the seat cushions peeling and (2) legs were also broken. Therefore, we are unable to honor Mr***’ request to exchange his sofa and loveseat. Mr*** was contacted and advised the legs would be ordered and shipped to his residence for self install. However, the cracking and the peeling that was reported and notated on the serviceman’s service report is not covered under the Terms and Conditions of the Furnituregard Plan. Our records indicate Mr*** received the legs for his sofa and loveseat; however he declined to install. As outlined in the terms and conditions of Furnituregard - cracking or peeling of the leather topcoat or finish is listed under what is not covered (Section 15) also notated in the Furnituregard Plan terms and conditions wear and tear to leather/fabrics are not covered.

Thank you for
the opportunity to respond to Mr*** concerns regarding account
***. Mr*** stated he received a
credit mark on his account due to extensions he processed in December
According to
our records, Mr*** received extensions on three of the four
accounts he had
opened with us in December 2014. Mr
*** was notified at that time that account *** did not qualify for
extensions because it had not been opened long enough. According to our records, Mr*** signed a 32-month
retail installment contract on October 30, 2014. This contract created account ***. Although Mr*** had extensions processed on
his other accounts, account *** did not qualify because it was a new
account.
Mr***
received one thirty day credit mark on account *** due to the payment on
the account not being processed timely. As
a one-time offer and a *** gesture, we have removed the credit mark from
account ***. We ask that Mr***
please allow the credit bureaus 30-days to update their records.
We value Mr
*** as a customer and appreciate him for bringing his concerns to our
attention. Thank you,Cheryle ***

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ***, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint
The company has responded stating that I received a copy of Conn’s Return & Exchange Policy at the time of purchaseThis is simply not trueThe sales representative pulled out a tablet and everything was e-signed as they have gone "paperless" is what I was toldThe sales representative said that the policy would be emailed to meI received a delivery receipt email after the items were dropped off that stated that the return and exchange policy was attached but there was no attachmentThis is the only email that I have receivedI have uploaded a copy of that emailUpon further investigation on my part with the local store we did realize that there was an apparent mistake in the ordering when the sales representative ordered couches and a wedgeI was placing an order for a sectional (couch, loveseat, wedge), not couchesThe store was unsure why the sales representative placed an order for couchesThe fact that the company made a mistake and won't even exchange the furniture out for what I did want ordered is utterly contemptible from a customer service standpointLike I previously stated, I have made several purchases over the years through this company (stove, refrigerator, dishwasher) on high priced items and I have never had a problem before, but when they won't even fix their own mistake that is just ridiculousThe sales representative also told me that I was approved for months no interest for up to $9,The store has also informed me that this was a lie and that I am paying an interest rate of 21%While I understand that the company is in the business of making money, making money off of lies and mistakes is just disgracefulI will be informing people of my customer service experience via social media and reviews and will advise any potential customers to stay away from this companyI would rather shop at *** *** or *** *** and pay a higher price for products and as well as a higher interest rate in order to receive better customer service

OnMarch 21,2017you provided the following information:Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mrs***’s complaintOur records show on12/19/16, Mrs*** purchased a *** electric range which comes with a 1-year limited manufacturer’s warranty; no additional coverage was purchased with
Conn’sMrs*** received a brochure copy of Conn’s Return and Exchange Policy at the time of purchase along with her invoice and contractConn’s Return and Exchange Policy states that a customer has 30-days to return/exchange appliances with the required 15% restocking fee.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr***’s concerns regarding accounts *** and ***. Mr*** stated he overpaid his account and would like the overpayment amount refunded to him or applied to his other account. According to our records, Mr***
submitted a payment in the amount of $on account *** on July 12, 2016. Additionally, on July 14, 2016, he submitted a payment in the amount of $3449.00. This caused his account to be overpaid by $999.53. When an account has been overpaid, Conn’s has to verify the payment has been negotiated by the customer’s financial institution before the overpayment refund can be processed. This process can take up to business days. On August 31, Conn’s moved the overpayment amount of $to account ***; however, Mr*** disputed the $payment made on July 12, with his financial institution and that item was charged back to Conn’s on August 31, 2016. This chargeback caused account *** to reopen. We have included a copy of Mr***’s payment history for his records. Conn’s values Mr*** as a customer and appreciates him for bringing his concerns to our attention. Thank you, Cheryle ***

[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]
Regards, I strongly disagree with the respond from Conn Home Plus for the following reasons , There is no clearer test of "Consumer Protection" in America right now to get toxic chemicals out of furniture being sold in America from ***.To succeed in this effort "Labeling ***" this poison means that not only will residents in California but consumers in the state of AZ will be protected by at least a "Warning" if not an outright ban but that futher other states and other Nations will enact and require labeling of their own.I also filed a complaint with *** *** *** *** *** and Conn Home Plus refuse to acknowledge or reply to their two attempts to resolve my complaintIn my direct conversation with Conn Home Plus and Customer Service on several occasions since I filed my complaint with your office Conn's only option is for me to voluntary give the return all the furniture back on the account, which includes the living room furniture that was made in AmericaThe furniture would be sold at a auction and I would be responsible to pay Conn's the difference or they will take me to court and this incident will be reported to the credit bureaus.I am going to fax your office a copy of the letter from *** *** *** *** ***,The Warning Labels that were on the two chairs and bench in which the sale man in his pitch never warned me of the toxic chemicals Warning: This product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and other birth defects or other productive harmI strongly feel the sale man should of warned me of the dangers of buying the dinette and I would of insisted on buying brands of furniture made in America" Only"! Lastly I paid my bill on time that Conn's was sending me Credit Line Increase Certificate The bottom line if I am in agreement with Conn's to voluntary return the all the items on my account I will be without any living room furniture and I am a single disabled mother on a fixed income and returning back all the items will create a hardship for me
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mrs***’s additional comments.As mentioned in our previous response the remaining balance $was for the difference of her total purchase and not the price of a single itemTherefore, Conn’s processed the full credit of $1,to Mrs***’s *** account which does not warrant a partial refundAgain, we are unable to honor Mrs***’s request. If we may be of further assistance, Mrs*** may contact our Customer Service Department at1-877-358-1252. Kind regards, Jana ***
