STAY AWAY FROM CONNS HOMEPLUS!
On February 23, 2023 I called Conn's Homeplus on Padre Island Drive in Corpus christi, TX and spoke with a salesman named David. I told him what I wanted, GE front load washer and I could not afford more than $100 per month on payments. He kept putting me on hold to talk to his manager and he told me he had a contract ready for me to sign for 24 months at $95 per month. My friend, Alice Thomas, took me to the store on Saturday February 25, 2023. David started having problems with the contract, so he enlisted the help of his manager, Brandon. Brandon continued rewriting the contract and sent them to my email address. I found 9 different contracts in my email. When I signed the final contract, the told me that I only have to sign one time and the computer captures my signature and will put it everywhere it needs to be. My payment with tax ended up being $100.43. Finally, after nearly 5 hours, my friend and I got to leave the store. The washer was supposed to be delivered on February 26th but I kept getting excuse after excuse and it was finally delivered 8:30pm on Tuesday, February 28, 2023. On March 2, 2023 I received an email welcoming me to American first Finance and my first payment due on a lease to own package for 12 months is $198.43! I was stunned! I only get $900 a month from social security and I cannot afford a payment of $198.43. I am sure, after I left, the manager, Brandon, used my signature, saved by the computer to rewrite this very incorrect lease! I immediately called American first Finance and the woman said all she can do is file a complaint. I told her the whole story. She advised me to call Conn's Homeplus and tell Brandon what happened, he is the only one that can rewrite the contract. I called Brandon, he told me David was no longer with the company. He told me to hold on and he would look over the contract and fix it. He put me on hold for over an hour and I just figured that he was fixing the contract. Finally, I got tired of waiting, hung up and called back. They told me Brandon left for the day over an hour ago. He put me on hold and left. I have tried to call him several times and he ignores my calls and refuses to call me back!
