Question

if you already have a warrant for rent a center stuff can it be considered null and void if u pay, is that true?, do you have to do jail time?

Answer 1

 yes they can put a warrent out. my brother in law was arrested last night for "fraud" . for a stupid tv and couch from 2 years ago that his x took off with. yes he should have paid it. but criminal charges... really? there is a fine line with civil and criminal when it comes to rent a center. 

 

 

Rent a centers policy for filing criminal charges is very strict and most cases get denied by our legal department, I know this for a fact because I have seen what it to takes to get our legal Dept. to approve these cases. What you have here are Store Managers taking the risk and filing criminal charges without corporate approval and the local Magistrates office are taking these cases in some not all jurisdictions. If anyone from the DA's office(or customer) were to call 1800-275-2696 and ask if these charges were approved I would say 90% of them are done withoutlegal department knowledge and approval and the charges would be withdrawn immediatly. I know this as fact Because several Managers in our area file charges faithfully each Monday and spend several hours sitting down there. Our District court in our area sends the court papers to these customers that are already struggling to show up for theft of leased services and when it goes to court they are told to return it or make $50.00 monthly payments to the court what a waste of taxpayers Money. The managers that file these charges do so to help thier collections program stay in check and use it as a scare tactic. Meanwhile that Store Manager is pocketing anywhere from $60,000- $90,000 per year. Beacause the if they keep the charge-offs low thier bonuses will be BIGGER!! That would be incentive enough for most Managers to continue taking thier customers to courtand let the court and taxpayers money do thier dirty collections work after they have broken every fair credit collection practice in the book. Yes upper management really belives that the stores follow the collections guidelines but that is such a joke just go out to any low income niegborhood on a Saturday and just watch the Rac trucks flying up and down the street. I will you-tube it one day so you can see it to believe it ~~~a
