Review: Defective washing machine delivered & machine caused flooded new home & caused water damage inside home

In June 2013 (week of June [redacted]) I purchased an LG Washing Machine from Conn's on Willow St. in Lafayette, LA. The machine was delivered & set up in my new home a week later. Approximately one week later I used the washing machine for the very 1st time to wash a load of clothes. Upon my return to my home I walked in to a home flooded with water; my new built home was flooded from the wash room to the kitchen to the front halls and part of 2 bedrooms with carpeting. I immediately ran to get large towels to try to soak up the water because I did not have a shop vac to soak it up. It took me over an hour and several large bath towels to try to dry up the wet floors. I had to continuously wring out the towels over and over and keep wiping the floors before the water damaged anything else. I contacted Conn's & spoke to [redacted] at the [redacted] store to explain what happened; he explained he would send someone over to see what was wrong. The worker that came out explained the washer was defective & they would deliver me another one. The next day I noticed the water had already damaged my baseboards/floor moldings; the water was soaked into the boards & they started swelling and splitting. The wood underneath my kitchen cabinets also began to swell and bubble. I immediately called Conn's and they referred me to the wharehouse manager, where I spoke to someone named [redacted] who took the report and submitted it to the company for a response. A week later there was still no call from Conn's so I decided to call back to speak to [redacted], but I could never speak to her againa because the person who answered the phone would always say [redacted] was busy & would call me back but I never received a call back from anyone. I called weekly to speak to [redacted] concerning the status of my issue reported however I could not speak to her & she still did not return my call. I called for [redacted] weekly from June 2013- Oct 2013 until someone from Conn's called me about making a payment and the representative gave me a number to the risk management department to do another report. When I called risk management the week of Thanksgiving (Nov '13) a female(name unknown) answered the phone & advised that the company had been trying to reach me with no success. I explained to her that I never received any calls from the company and no messages were ever left. I asked what can I do now, she advised she will put in another request for Conn's to call me back again to try to resolve my issue and will put it as an urgent request. I waited a week & no one ever called me again, I in turn started calling risk management again weekly & left messages with still no return call. I am very frustrated with the run around from Conn's at this point; several damages were made to a new home I just moved into June [redacted] 2013 that I have not even had the opportunity to fully enjoy because of these damages Conn's refuse to view & repair.Desired Settlement: I would like Conn's to pay for damages incurred in my home based on the estimate that I am currently seeking.

Review: I have receive numerous harassing phone calls over two years from Conn's Credit collections using various phone numbers trying to reach someone else by the name of [redacted] who fraudulently used my phone number to apply for and open credit with Conn's, which he then defaulted on. Numerous explanations to Conn's Credit collections reps have yielded no success and they continue to harass me by phone every day. I have had the same phone number for over eight years and have never once shopped at Conn's. if Conn's does not cease and desist this repetitive and illegal behavior, I will pursue legal action against Conn's for damages under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which prohibits debt collectors from using abusive, unfair, or deceptive practices to collect. I have filed written complaints with the FTC, Revdex.com, CFPB, and the Texas State Attorney General's office over this matter. Please cease and desist or else legal action for damages will be pursued against Conn's Inc.Desired Settlement: Cease and desist all harassing calls by Conn's collections reps meant for someone else.

Response:

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr.

[redacted]’s concerns regarding phone calls she has received regarding a

Conn’s account. We have determined this account belongs to another customer and Mr. [redacted]’s phone number was linked to the account in error. We have placed a cease & desist on the telephone number associated with the phone number provided by Mr. [redacted]. In

he contact us immediately so we may address this matter further.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. I will wait until for the business to perform this action and, if it does, will consider this complaint resolved. Conn's communication has been retained as agreement to cease and desist future wrong number calls which are unsolicited by it's credit collections staff and is illegal under the Federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act and the Texas Debt Collection Act. Future violations will be followed by legal action.

Review: This complaint is for a delivery rebate issue. I followed the instructions of the rebate form as requested by Conn's. I have all documentation and delivery confirmation of date rebate form was delivered with original forms submitted. I was denied on the first request for the reason stated - Purchase date not valid for this offer.Went to the store and was told I followed the correct procedure and purchase was made within the correct time period and to call customer service. I called customer service and was told to resubmit forms. Resubmitted forms and still have not received my rebate. I have called customer service 3 times to request a call back from a district or regional manager. To date I have received no phone call from either. Conn's wants to charge a delivery charge but will not issue a rebate.My second issue is for a water line that I was told was required for installation. This item was not required and they will not issue a refund. I have spent over $25 to resolve these issues to no resolveDesired Settlement: I just want my rebate and refund for item they told me I needed for installation + postage and fax fees.

Business

Response:

Thank you for the opportunity to respond Mr. [redacted] complaint. Our records show on 4/21/14, Mr. [redacted] purchased a Frigidaire refrigerator, a GE ice-maker kit, and elected to have his items delivered. Our records show Mr. [redacted] submitted his rebate form and the rebate claim was denied due to his purchase date was not valid. Although our records indicate Mr. [redacted]’s rebate form was resubmitted and is currently being processed, Conn’s has agreed to concession his delivery fee and apply a credit of $86.59 to his Conn’s credit account. In regard to Mr. [redacted]’s ice-maker kit Conn’s has agreed to return or exchange unit. Mr. [redacted] will need to visit his local Conn’s store for processing.

If we may be of further assistance, Mr. [redacted] may contact Customer Service at [redacted]

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.

Review: I had two accounts with Conn's 1 1/2 years ago. I had a dispute about the balance, which took them several months to clear up. I satisfied the balance they told me I owed, and haven't heard from them until the last few weeks. They claim I owe an additional $34.00 plus dollars from late fees. The final payment was on hold because of the dispute, and the person told me to hold off on the final payment until she came up with the correct amount. She finally calls and tell me what to pay for a final payment on my last account that was open. I never heard anything else until now, and they are harassing me every hour on my home and cell phone.Desired Settlement: I desire that this company be compelled by their employees to audit my account, and help their inefficient and unprofessional staff stop calling for money I do not owe them. Also, I do not want this company to enter me as bad credit. I would be insane to allow 34.00 ruin my credit, but it is the principle involved.

Business

Response:

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to MR. [redacted] concerns regarding account #121869533. Mr. [redacted]

stated he paid the full balance on account #[redacted] in September 2013, and he

has started receiving collection calls as of July 1,

2014.

According to our records, Mr. [redacted] signed a 30-month

retail installment contract on June 21, 2012. Mr. [redacted]’s invoice balance on the account

was $1499.40. He

paid a total of $1160.61, leaving a remaining balance of $338.79.

Due to the confusion regarding the account balance, we

will offer Mr. [redacted] a goodwill concession for the remaining outstanding

balance and close the account. We have not reported any negative credit

marks to the credit agencies concerning this account.

Mr. [redacted] will receive a close-out letter within 30

business days to retain for his records. We value Mr. [redacted] as a customer, and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience he has

experienced due to this matter.

Dear Revdex.com: Thank you for your intervention on such an inferior matter. I will accept the offer of this company (Conn's) to proceed with other important things in my life. Although it is inaccurate, I will accept their offer. Again, thank you for your promptness in this matter.

Respectfully,

Review: I purchased a suit of appliances at a local Conns store, including a dishwasher, washer, dryer and refrigerator as well as a stove. During the purchasing process, the salse associate asked about installation of the dishwasher., and named the price at 119.00. I asked if I could delay the installation, since I wanted some work done in the kitchen first. He said yes, but failed to mention that the price would be much higher if I delayed the installation. If I would have been given the correct information, I would have had the appliance installed immediately. After a few days, I went to the store to inquire about installing my dishwasher. I was referred to the manager, who let me stand there waiting for him for 20 minutes, while he talked to various sales associates. I was there with my 20 month old grand daughter, and finally lost patience and followed him. He then told me he had to take a phone call, and let me wait another 10 minutes, while talking to more sales associates. Finally he got around to talking to me, and told me the installation could be scheduled, but it would cost more than at the initial delivery. I pointed out that this was not disclosed to me at the time of purchase, and he said that this is their policy. I then called back the next day to get the info on the installation, and was handed from associate to associate, until I was finally quoted a price of 359 for installing a simple dishwasher. The dishwasher itself cost only 429. I called back to the customer service line, and let them know that I was not given the correct info by the sales associate, and this delayed the installation. I made numerous phone calls, and finally called Beaumont Headquarters, wanting to speak to management. I was again given the run around, and finally spoke to a female who identified herself as a manager. I also was delivered a severely damaged inoperable dryer, and still waiting on a response about that, as well as a fridge where water maker and ice dispenser are not functioning.Desired Settlement: I want the dishwasher installed at the original quoted price, and get a functional dryer as well as refrigerator. I also want to let it be known that Conns engages in unethical business practices, and the manger or supposed manager whom I spoke to lied and said she would refer me to a resolution department, yet they never called me. I called back on that and again was told I would get a call back, but it never came. Thereafter I was told that a resolution has been found not in my favor.

Business

Response:

Thank you for the

opportunity to respond to Mrs. [redacted]’ complaint. Our records show on 7/19/14, Mrs. [redacted] purchased

a Samsung refrigerator with installation, a Samsung washer and dryer, 3 wire

ring cord, a washer hose, 3 wire dryer cord, a dryer duct with clamps, a

Frigidaire electric range, a Samsung dishwasher, and delivery. Mrs.

[redacted]’ signed invoice indicates a dishwasher installation was not purchased

and we were instructed to drop off the dishwasher only. Therefore, the

dishwasher would be installed by someone other than Conn’s. Conn’s is

willing to install Mrs. [redacted]’ dishwasher, however she will need to pay the

dishwasher installation fee of $119.95; and Conn’s will waive the second

delivery charge.

Mrs. [redacted] was

scheduled for delivery and received all her items on 7/26/14 in good order. We show Mrs. [redacted] contacted service

on 7/28/14; stating her dryer was

making a loud noise. A service call was scheduled; upon the inspection

the technician found the dryer was damaged on side and could not be bent back,

the technician deemed the dryer was non-repairable. Therefore, Mrs.

[redacted]’ dryer was approved for an exchange. Mrs. [redacted] was given a

credit of $300 which is the original amount paid. As of 9/05/14, Mrs. [redacted] has not

elected a new dryer. Mrs. [redacted]’ exchange is still active; she may

visit her nearest Conn’s location to initiate her exchange.

Mrs. [redacted]

contacted service again on 8/08/14, regarding her

refrigerator; stating the unit was not dispensing water and making a loud

noise. A service call was scheduled; upon the inspection the technician

found the refrigerator child lock was set causing the unit to not dispense

water/ice. The technician disabled the child lock the setting; tested the

unit and tested ok up to the manufacturer specifications. At this time we

are unable to honor Mrs. [redacted]’ request to exchange her refrigerator; based

on the technician service report the refrigerator is operating correcting and

does not meet the qualifications for an exchange.

If we may be of

further assistance, Mrs. [redacted] may contact Customer Service at [redacted].

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me. This is a conditional acceptance, and if the businesses promises are not kept, I will pursue this matter further, referencing my complaint to the Revdex.com.

Regarding the response by Conn's:

I have never received any contact from Conns regarding my dryer. I made numerous phone calls, and was told that the issue was settled and I needed to contact the manufacturer regarding the damaged dryer. Every time I called, I was told the matter would be investigated further and I would receive a call back. The calls never came. The fact that I have a $ 300 credit is complete news to me, and was never communicated to me, prior to filing my complaint. I even called Conns Headquarters in Beaumont, asking to speak to management to state my concerns. I was told by someone identifying herself as a manger that my concerns would be given over to the resolutions Department, which would contact me within 5 days at the most. This phone call also never came, and when I called back, no one knew about my call or concerns. Regarding the refrigerator, it was never a concern, nor part of my complaint. The dishwasher is still not installed, and sitting outside on my patio.

Review: I purchased a couch and loveseat from Conn's Oklahoma City location on a 1 year same as cash option. In [redacted] of [redacted] that cash option expired. Two months before the cash option expired I found out that I had several insurance policies that were included in the payment. I was aware of one when I purchased the couch/loveseat. I went to the local store, filled out a form to have all but one cancelled and they faxed it to the corporate office and showed me that it went through. I called to check pay off several times during the next few weeks and it had not changed. I called and the person answering stated they never received it and emailed me another form. I filled it out faxed it in and called to confirm they got it. She stated that it would apply to my account in 24-72 hours. It did not. This went on with me sending the info in and telling me they did not received, only had one person to process and could take months etc... When it came to payoff time I asked several times for them to give me the what the payoff would be after the credits applied and could not get an answer. They wanted me to pay off and then wait for the refund. It had been such a mess I refused. I finally within a day of two of payoff got an amount from [redacted]. I immediately during that phone call paid the account off. I called everyday and it still showed a balance. I was assured that it was not a problem and that even if the credit did not apply before my payoff date they would just have me file a dispute and it would not be a big deal. The payoff amount given to me ways $32.00 short and now they insist that I pay interest. I have called and tried to file a dispute, they say there is no such paperwork. They refuse to credit the interest. They refuse to let me talk to a manager. I have notes with eveyones name and employee number that I have talked to. I understand that if I was given the wrong amount and owe them $32.00 then I need to pay that. I should however not be punished for their error.Desired Settlement: I would like them to remove the interest from my account since I was incorrectly quoted a payoff. I have the name, employee number and exact amount of payoff written down. I have no problem paying them the $32.00 I owe them.I have additional documentation of each encounter with names and employee numbers if needed.

Review: To whom this may reach, I am having a rough time getting conns to honor their extended warranty on my washer and dryer. The technician called me back and stated that he could not fix my dryer and washer because of abuse, some type of customer abuse. I have not done anything but use this washer and dryer for washing clothes and nothing more. My warranty ruins out [redacted]. Now it is like Conns people telling me that it is a problem, after I completed my last payment last month. Please assist. I do not like throwing money down the drain, or being used for someone else gain.Thank you, [redacted] ###-###-####Desired Settlement: Fix or replace the washer and dryer.

Review: I paid my balance in full and they (Conn's Appliance) keep charging me interest. I paid the account in full on the due date which was [redacted]. So I want to know why I have a balance of 19.17 as of [redacted], which I paid that too. Somebody is stealing money in the organization, because I have called them, customer service department and no one can tell me why or how I am being charged. What I want is my account CLOSED and the return on my $19.17. I will NEVER buy anything from CONN'S again. I will also tell my friends what a crappy job the ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT is doing. The lady I spoke to on [redacted]. said and I quote The Person who gave you your pay-off gave you the wrong number", then she said" I see where you paid the full amount, but that was not right". I said, I pay my bill online and I got the pay-off from there, well that's not correct either. I keep getting the run around, meanwhile Conn's is still charging me. I'm thinking I am paying in good faith.This is very poor customer service. Oh by the way, she calls herself "[redacted]", but I don't believe that either, why should I The pay-off was 307 and some changeDesired Settlement: Refund

I want my money retuned because I clearly don't owe it and an letter stating my account is 'CLOSED'.

Response:

Thank you for bringing Mrs. [redacted]'s concerns to our attention. Conn's

would like to offer Mrs. [redacted] an apology for the error and for the

manner in which her concerns were addressed. Based on the information

Mrs. [redacted] provided, Conn's will be issuing her a refund of $19.17, we

are further researching what caused the discrepancy to ensure it is

corrected. Mrs. [redacted] should receive the refund within the next 7-10

days. If I may be of further assistance, Mrs. [redacted] may contact me

directly at ###-###-#### ext [redacted].

Review: I purchased 4 major appliances from Conn's in mid October. I paid for a dishwasher installation which they were unable to do, due to the fact they didn't have the correct install kit for the dishwasher. I then had to pay a plumber to install it for me. I have been requesting my $119.99 plus tax refund for almost two months, have talked to about 15 people about it. Once I was told a check had been issued, it hasn't. I went to the store to get a refund put back on my back card, they couldn't do it, because of some technical thing with the warehouse. I am tired of dealing with these people. I wait for someone to call me back and they never do, they have repeatedly ignored my request. Their customer satisfaction is a joke.Desired Settlement: I would like a check mailed in the amount of $119.99 plus tax mailed to[redacted]

Review: I purchased a Whirlpool stainless steel refrigerator on 5/2012. I make my payments on time every month. I even purchased the extended warranty they offer. I have called Conn's since 5/**/2013 about my refrigerator acting up. The icemaker wasn't working, then it started freezing our food in the refrigerator side. Conn's has come at least once a month to "fix" our fridge and still it is not working. I have lost money on groceries terribly. I went from buying groceries weekly to going to the store everyday to get something to cook. I have complained to them, told them to exchange it, and still that fridge is in my home. My husband has asked for a district manager and is refused the information. The customer service and service department do not even answer our calls because we have complained so much. They transfer us back and forth as in a joke. My husband has been on hold for up to 30 minutes on a complaint call. He has spoken to [redacted] who is the manager in service department and [redacted] who is his boss. We have been refused last names, phone numbers, and extensions. Please help us with this issue! I have four kids at home and do not have the time to go to the store everyday to figure out what I can cook each day. I also have a diabetic daughter on insulin who needs to have it refrigerated. I do not want to have negative things on my credit or I would have already stopped paying it. Thank you again.Desired Settlement: I would like my money back or be allowed to choose another refrigerator. I prefer to get my money and go elsewhere to purchase another refrigerator. I am done shopping at Conn's.

Review: On 7/** I went into the Conns Store located at [redacted]. I purchased a Refrigerator and microwave and a computer. Issue #1 when the delivery was made I was told the microwave could not be installed due to a lack of cabintry. The delivery person then tried to pawn a floor model off on me. I told him that I had purchased a new refrigerator and that he could take both the microwave and the refrigerator back to Conns. He then called the store manager and told him the issues; the store manager told him to ask me if I would take the floor model until he received a new one to replace it with and I responded only accept it if he put it in writing and faxed it to me. I also told him that I expected to receive new paperwork without the microwave on my account and to this day I have not received it. Issue #2 I returned the computer to the Wheatland store and gave it to the clerk behind the counter. This was verified by [redacted] and her supervisor at the corporate office but they have not stopped billing me for it. I started calling their offices 9/** explaining that the computer had been returned and the microwave was never delivered and that I was waiting for corrected paperwork so that I could start making payments, because they were charging me finance charges, taxes and property insurance base on a grand total that included merchandise that I did not have. Since September, I have talked to about 25 different Conns employees asking for a corrected contract so that I could began making payments and was told that Conns does not correct contracts. I told them on September **, 2013 to pick up the refrigerator because I was buying one from Home Depot and was told by the supervisor at the Administrative offices that it would be an voluntary repossession and I told them that I didnt care because I was not going to pay them due to them refusing to revisit my contract. Instead of picking up the refrigerator, they continue to call me all day and night harassing me for payment.Desired Settlement: I would like for Conn's to pick up the refrigerator as we discussed in September and to stop harrassing me day and night for merchandise that I have returned (the computer) and merchandise that was never received (the microwave).

Review: I purchased a dinning room set for my wife in December 2012. One of the chairs broke on Feb ** 2014. We call the store in Arlington where the purchase was made and we are still paying on this merchandise. Spoke with a salesman named [redacted] who informed us that we would need to speak to Customer Service they would send someone out to look at the chair to see if was repairable if not we would receive credit. We were not looking for credit just the chair to be repaired or replaced as it is now broken and can't be used. We started the calling at 6:30 PM spoke with [redacted] at customer service who stated the warranty was up in December 2013 and we were transferred to the Customer Service Center spoke with someone named [redacted] who stated we would have to pay for someone to come out and then transferred us a furniture store that was closed. At 7:30 called back to the store and spoke with [redacted] who informed us there was nothing he could do and to have a nice day and hung up. My wife called back at 7:35 and again spoke with [redacted] who then put her in contact with her supervisor [redacted] who informed my wife that she knew what she wanted but that was not going to happen. She transferred my wife back to the Customer Service Center in which she spoke to someone named [redacted] who informed my wife they would not send anyone out to look at the chair and it would not be repaired. We are STILL paying for this table and 4 piece chair set which is now a 3 piece chair set because this chair is broken. I feel that something should be done about this as I am making monthly payments. If this is the case then Conn's does not guarantee their products or customer service. I would appreciate a response as a paying customer who is VERY unhappy and to know my legal rights after an hour of calling and speaking with several people

I would like the chair repaired or replaced by Conn's as this is what I was informed when we called the store.. If I have to pay for it out of pocket, then I should be able to use of the $ 120. that I pay to Conn's to have the chair replaced or fixed.

As I looked at my account I noticed 2 charges on my bank statment. I called and was told it would be credited, but will take a few days. After not seeing the credit, I called back. More run around. After two weeks, and numerous phone calls, a lady called me back to tell me she was mailing refund. I have yet to receive it. Now I receive a call, at 830 in morning from them asking for payment. She said that due date could not be changed, because I asked for 11 days out, and they can only do 10. No one informed me of this. I have been told there is no magic button, to give me back my money. I feel this is harrasement, they have thier notes and still call. I told them if they continue to harrass I will take items back, they said it is voluntary repo, and the calls will still be coming...can't even enjoy products.Desired Settlement: If this continues, I will get an attorney and would want to return products. But, I donot want this on my credit and calls to stop. I am doing my part, I make my payments. There is no reason for the phone calls, because they are unorganized.

Review: WE PURCHASED A CREDIT ACCOUNT WITH CONN'S IN DECEMBER 2012. WE HAD BEEN PAYING ON THE BILL AND WE HAD TO CHANGE BANK ACCOUNTS. THEY NEVER WOULD CHANGE THE INFORMATION IN THE SYSTEM SO IT WOULD GO TO A CLOSED ACCOUNT AND BOUNCE. IT TOOK 8 PHONE CALLS AND THREE HOURS ON THE PHONE TO GET TO SOMEONE THAT WOULD CORRECT IT. THEN IN FEBRUARY 2013, WE CALLED CONN'S TO PAY OFF THIS ACCOUNT BECAUSE WE HAD ENOUGH. WE ASKED FOR A PAY OFF AMOUNT AND WAS GIVEN A PAYOFF AMOUNT OF 1859.04. WE PAID IT. NEVER RECEIVED A CALL STATING THAT IT WAS NOT APPROVED OR ANY OTHER INVOICES OR ANYTHING SO I CALLED AND WAS TOLD OUR BALANCE WAS ZERO AND IT WAS PAID IN FULL. TEN MONTHS GO BY AND WE GET A PHONE CALL STATING WE OWE 11 CENTS. THE SUPERVISOR STATES HE WILL CLEAR THIS OFF AND WE WILL NOT HEAR ANYTHING AGAIN. TWO DAYS LATER AND THEY START BLOWING OUR PHONE UP STATING WE STILL OWE MONEY AND THAT WE BETTER PAY. THIS IS FRAUD. SO TODAY I GET A PHONE CALL FROM [redacted] AT THE SAN ANTONIO LOCATION HARASSING ME AND THREATENING ME AT MY JOB. CALLING ME EVERY HOUR. WE DON'T OWE THIS MONEY!Desired Settlement: THE PHONE STOP, THEY FIX OUR ACCOUNT, AND THEY BE CHARGED FOR INADEQUATE HARASSMENT ALONG WITH A LAW SUIT TO FIX MY CREDIT THAT THEY HAVE RUINED.

Review: I purchased a washer and dryer and a laptop from them in May last year. The sales rep told me that I had 12 months same as cash my purchase was about 2000.00 dollars. I feel ill in December and was in the hospital for 46 days. I let them know I was ill. As soon as I came home I called to get my account straight, I was informed that my account balance had almost tripled. I asked how could this be? I could have paid cash for the same items or I could have went to the other predatory lending places like RAC if I wanted to play 5 times the amount for items. They transferred me to a supervisor and she stated that it may not be in the contract I signed but their policy is if you are late over 10 days that your account no longer qualify for same as cash. I explained what the sale rep in the store told me and I should not be responsible for a amount I did not agree too, nor would I have made a agreement to commit to those terms, she told me to "get over it and she was not responsible for any agreement given verbally and that they do not issue the same as cash in writing, but my contact applies all interest". This company is a fraud and they are smart with it because they did not give me the same as cash in my contract so I was tricked into signing for items at more than 5x the value. I am filing a complaint with the AG office because the practices are illegal and predatory. In addition I pulled a credit report and it shows a line of credit for that amount and besides me telling them and sending them hospital records they reported me 30 days late. For this company to say they are a part of family and have shady practices that take advantage of the consumer is illegal and WRONG.Desired Settlement: My account reflect same as cash with no loop holes, credit corrected, and apology for lying to me

Dear [redacted]

I apologize if you feel that you may have been misinformed. We do provide all our customer a copy of their signed contract as well as supporting documents regarding their new purchase which contains details of their account. You may contact our Customer Service Department at 1-[redacted] to discuss your account in detail.

Thank you,

Conn's refuse accept responsibility for their sales practices. The 12 months same as cash is not even listed in the contracts. People beware this is only a verbal agreement in which they will find any reason not to honor. Conn have engaged in, and will continue to engage in the unlawful practices set forth below.

Conn's have caused and will cause immediate, irreparable injury, loss and damage to myself, and will also cause adverse effects to legitimate business enterprises which lawfully conduct trade and commerce. Despite the lengthy and high pressure sales presentation, I was not presented with a copy of the actual terms and conditions of the 12 months same as cash at the time of the sale in the store. The actual terms and conditions of the 12 months same as cash are not made available to the consumer and not disclosed by Conn’s prior to the sale. Unknown to the customer at the time of sale, 12 months same as cash contains exclusions, limitations of liability, cancellation penalties, and an arbitration clause—all of which are designed to favor Conn's.

In addition, at the time of sale the consumer is misled to believe that the 12 months same as cash is for 12 months and will cover the product for the one year period; the actual terms of the agreement, are quite different and state that the agreement “expires” upon any payment that is over 10 days late.

That Conn’s refused to honor the terms of agreement and continues to advertise it under false pretense.

Conn's in the course and conduct of trade and commerce, have directly and indirectly engaged in false, misleading and deceptive acts and practices declared to be unlawful by the DTPA §17.46(a). Without limiting the foregoing, Conn's also have violated DTPA §17.46(b), by engaging in the following conduct: false, misleading, or deceptive acts or practices in the course of trade or commerce.

Therefore causing confusion or misunderstanding as to affiliation, connection, or association with, or certification by, another. By representing that goods or services have sponsorship, approval, characteristics, ingredients, uses, benefits, or quantities which they do not have or that a person has a sponsorship, approval, status, affiliation, or connection which he does not. By representing that goods or services are of a particular standard, quality, or grade, or that goods are of a particular style or model, if they are another. By advertising goods or services with intent not to sell them as advertised. By representing that an agreement confers or involves rights, remedies, or obligations which it does not have or involve, or which are prohibited by law. By failing to disclose information concerning goods or services which was known at the time of the transaction if such failure to disclose such information was intended to induce the consumer into a transaction into which the consumer would not have entered had the information been disclosed Because Conn's have engaged in the unlawful acts and practices described above, Conn's have violated and will continue to violate the law as alleged. Stay away from them you will be trapped like me and my family and get nothing but excuses on how they refuse to fix the issue at hand. I am referring this to the Attorney General Office. This predatory to all Texas citizens.

washer and dryer with a 24-month Repair Service Agreement Plan, washer hose,

dry cord, dryer duct with clamp and delivery totaling $1996.95 with a 12 month

cash option. On 7/12/13, Mrs. [redacted] also purchased a

Sony Vaio Fit laptop and a Trendwood media chest totaling $1407.23 on a Conn’s

installment loan contract. After further review and research, our records

indicate Mrs. [redacted]’s cash option was voided due to non-payments for the months

of December 2013 and January 2014. On2/26/14, Mrs. [redacted] contacted us for

assistance regarding her account; Mrs. [redacted] did take advantage of Conn’s

Extension Plan which allows customers to bring past due account(s) to a current

status. As listed on Mrs. [redacted]’s signed and received contract under “Truth-In-Lending

Disclosure Statement” Late Charge: Section (b): If a payment is not paid in

full within 10-days after its scheduled due date, you will be charged interest

after maturity on each installment not to exceed the highest lawful contract

rate under state law. At this time, we are unable to honor Mrs. [redacted]’s request

to reinstate the cash option on her account due to non-payments; Mrs. [redacted] is

responsible for the accrued balance. We have attached Mrs. [redacted]’s signed

contract and general loan ledger in our response.

Review: I purchased a mattress in March 2013 and by September 2013 we were able to feel the springs. I called so it can be serviced and someone did come to check out the mattress. This was a company they use. When I received a call back from Conn's, they told me that the mattress did no meet the criteria for it to be serviced, that the damaged area had to be an inch and a half and the damage of the mattress was only one inch. Also they said to call back in 3 months again to be able to submit another service request and see if it met the criteria then. So called again in March 2014, by this time the springs are literally felt all over the mattress not just one area. Someone came to check it out and when I got the call from conn's, this time they said that because my mattress had one stain that it voided the warranty. I did go through my papers that I got the day of purchase, no where in those papers stated that if the mattress has a stain the warranty will be voided. Also when I expressed my concerns to the different people I spoke with, everyone said "unfortunately we cannot service it due to the stain". I asked to talk to management, I submitted a complain through them, I asked for repair of mattress so many times not replacement, and yet nothing! I also asked why this problem can't be fixed if I had purchased extended warranty and insurance, and I would get the same answer that due to the stain it voided the warranty. I told them that we were paying too much money for this to not be repaired. I am so frustrated that I even told them to pick up the mattress and take it back because I wasn't going to pay for something that wasn't worth the money and I was not paying them until this is fixed and still aren't willing to help me. It makes no sense to me why one of the customer service agents even said that I can remove the stain and then call them back after to submit another claim for service, I mean I wouldn't be calling them to repair the mattress due to a stain. The problem is the springs not a stain.Desired Settlement: All I want is for them to repair this mattress if it cannot be replaced. And if they aren't going to service it, well they can take it back and refund what we have paid which has been over $2,000.00. We did buy some couches and theatre system along with this, we are willing to still pay for those items just not for the bed if they aren't going to do anything about it. We can definitely go to Someone else who is willing to service us the right way.

Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mrs. [redacted] complaint. Our records show on 3/10/13, Mrs. [redacted] purchased a Serta iSeries mattress, a Serta iSeries box spring both items with a limited manufacturer warranty, a bed frame, Belmont furniture set with a limited 1-year manufacturer warranty, Bose home theater system with a 36-month Repair Service Agreement. Mrs. [redacted] received a free Kindle Fire with her purchase and selected to have her items delivered making her purchase total $4773.75. Our records show on 9/11/13, Mrs. [redacted] contacted us regarding her mattress; stating the mattress was sinking in after the spring made a popping noise. A service call was scheduled on 9/26/13; upon the inspection the technician no damage, no depression, and the mattress was up to the manufacturer specifications. On 2/12/14, Mrs. [redacted] contacted us stating the she could feel the springs through the mattress. Our records show we attempted to contact Mrs. [redacted] on 2/13/14,2/14/14, and 2/15/14; due to no response this work order was cancelled. On 2/19/14, Mrs. [redacted]’s work order was reopened. On2/20/14, Mrs. [redacted] was contacted and informed she was scheduled for service on 3/05/14. On 3/05/14, during the inspection the technician found the mattress was not contouring, the right side front bowed inwards and you can feel the internal springs from the inside when pressing down on the right side front and middle region, and the mattress was stained. On 3/11/14, Mrs. [redacted] was informed that since the mattress was displaying signs of stains and her manufacturer warranty would not cover it; per the manufacturer: Stains, soiling, fluid penetration or other signs of abuse may void the warranty and make your bedding ineligible for repair or replacement. Therefore, we are unable to honor Mrs. [redacted]’s request for repair or replacement. A copy of the manufacturer warranty information has been included in our response and has been mailed to Mrs. [redacted] for her records.

If we may be of further assistance, Mrs. [redacted] may contact us directly at [redacted]

Review: My spouse and I had two separate accounts at Conns; however my spouse ([redacted] and I filed for bankruptcy and both accounts were paid in the bankruptcy. The bankruptcy was dismissed in 2011. Since that time, Conns continues to report to the credit bureau that my account was charged off. I contacted the attorney from the bankruptcy and was told once the bankruptcy was complete, creditor paid in the bankruptcy should no longer show up on my credit report. As per the bankruptcy attorney, I contacted Conns and received the run around. I filed requested through the credit agencies to correct this matter and Conns refused to correct and remove the information. When the bankruptcy ended my spouse information was dropped from his credit report. He has since opened an account with Conns. I have been unable to get answers as to how my spouse and I were in the same bankruptcy, it was dismissed, his record was cleared and does not report him to the credit bureaus. Conns continues to flag my account that was paid in the bankruptcy as a charge-off and they report it monthly to the credit bureaus. I have been denied credit, not knowing that it was because of Conns actions I was being denied credit. I did not find out about Conns actions until 10/13.Desired Settlement: I want Conns to immediately remove all negative information from all credit reporting agencies.

Review: I have purcased some couches and love seat from conns and for the past year I have been trying to get the company to come and repair them because I have bought the warranty to cover all repairs. They have been to my house about 6 times and nothing has been done. I was told multiple times that they will return when parts arrive, but never receive any calls. When I call about this issue the state that they have no clue of what I am talking about and set me up a new service appointment. Recently, the have approved to replace 2 out of 3 of my couches but when I asked about the third one they state that it is fine. All three of my pieces are in the same condition, I can't even use the with out having some spring pop out and poke me or sit right on a piece of wood.During June of 2013 I have also bought a bedroom set with the extended warranty. Upon delivery of my items my head board was broken, I was told to go to call service to come and repair that issue. My mattress that was delivered had the plastic ripped open and was stained, I was also told to call service on this issue to. I called service, guy came out to inspect and was told there was nothing they can do to fix headboard because "I didn't buy warranty". And that my mattress was only covered by manufacture warranty and that it was voided because of stain on bed. There is also a huge dip on edge of mattress and I cannot sleep on it comfortably.Desired Settlement: I would like to have all three of my couches replace instead of two due to all being in same condition.For my bedroom set I would also like my headboard and mattress replaced due to condition it was delivered in and that my warranty states it shall be replaced if repairs cannot be made.

Thank you for the

opportunity to respond to [redacted] complaint. Our records show on 3/**/11,

[redacted] purchased two Coach Reclining Sofas, a Coach Reclining Loveseat and 48

month Furnituregard on each item. After

reviewing [redacted] service history on his furniture we agreed to exchange the

third furniture piece on 3/**/14. [redacted] was contacted and he selected two new Sofas which were picked up on

3/**/14.

In

reference to [redacted] headboard and mattress. Our records show on 6/**/13, [redacted] purchased a King headboard,

footboard, rails, mattress, and 48-month Furnituregard on the mattress

only. On 2/*/14, [redacted] contacted us

stating the headboard was cracked down the middle and the mattress was sinking

in. A service call was set-up and upon

inspection the serviceman found the headboard was damaged beyond repairs and

the mattress had a 1 inch impression and stains. Our records do not show [redacted] contacted us

prior to 2/*/14 to report damage to his headboard or mattress. Based on the inspection report we are unable to

honor [redacted]’s request for an exchange on his bed and mattress. The type of damage found on the headboard is

not covered under the Manufacturer’s Warranty.

In regards to the

mattress, the 1 inch impression found is a normal occurrence with regular usage

and the stain voids the warranty if not reported within 15 days of occurrence. Our records do not show the stain was

reported by [redacted] it was however, found during inspection therefore not

covered.

The inspection report,

pictures and warranty information is available upon request. If we may be of further assistance, [redacted] may contact us at [redacted]
