XXXX is in the name itselfXXXX They are con artists. XXXX refused to take back the washer and dryer when I called to return them due to job loss, which led to collections and a charge off. Theyre reporting that Im paying as agreed, but I havent made any payments since I requested a pickup. When I did call to settle I was told they would update my account to " paid in full '' after I settled, but they wouldnt put it in writing, so I refused to pay because it means nothing without documentation.

They also financed my delivery charges without giving me the option to pay upfront and did not clearly explain the agreement. I was told I could return the items if needed, but that was not the case. XXXX is a scam, charging XXXX times the actual price and putting people in difficult situations just to collect money and ruin their credit. Companies like this need to be shut down!
