This business keeps harassing me via telephone. I've pressed "9" several times to discontinue the calls and to be placed on the "Do Not Call" list. Everyday, multiple times a day, I'm still called. I put myself on a national "Do Not Call" registry. I'm still getting calls from *******. At this point, I'm experiencing stress because they won't stop calling me.Business Response

2/23/25 I got a loan of $1900, with a Finance Charge of $475. Total owed to obtain property worth >$14,000 on 3/25/25.Week prior to that date I was hospitalized expected to be there for a month. I called offering to pay about half via the phone and have a friend pay the balance. They refused payment saying it had to be in full.I am on disability. I discharged myself and on 3/25 offered full payment per contract. They refused.I needed to pay on more than one debit card. They said their computer system cant handle that. I asked for the manager.They called her. 1st she said I could pay with 1 card and the rest in cash. I had no way of getting that cash or putting the total on 1. 2nd she said I could use 2 but it had to be half and half exactly. I could not. 3rd they offered for me to pay the Finance Fee and pay interest on $1,900 until I could get cash at 304.17%.I asked to call mgr back. They refused saying she was on break. They called the police. Police arrived and they told them a different story about they cant because they pay interest when paid by debit card. All this was said in front of 4 officers and then their supervisor. They still refused payment. I had to leave or be trespassed in which case if I returned to pay Id be arrested.They are stealing my property and holding that over my head demanding exploitive interest rate. I required the police to write a report. Kissimmee PD #**********.This place is running a scam and defrauding people.Business Response

**** shop conducts unfair business practices. Upcharging, loan servicing agreements incorrect, they decide what they want to charge and scam individuals out of money to benefit there pockets. Put a handgun in layaway, requested to use the money I put down and purchase a different handgun. If I put $50 down and want to purchase a different handgun why would they keep $40 of the money? Thats an unfair business practice to keep money. Anyone can see this. Manager at the IH-35 ************* location botched my background check and I got delayed. He intentionally inputted incorrect information. I have never been delayed for a gun.Business Response

12/25 I had an item on **** at max it ****. On 1/27 which is one day after the first month maturity date I came to redeem my item on the ticket originally it said I have to pay $407.75 to redeem my item instead I was charged $450 38 to redeem my items supposedly because I was 2 days after the maturity date for the first month which to my understanding I should not have been charged that much. On the **** ticket it says that the monthly percentage rate will be 25%. However on the receipt it says the APR is ****** the loan amount is stated at 3:25 the financing charge is stated at $9.75 the service charge is $71.50 the setup charge is $1.50 an additional charge of $40.63 an affidavit fee of $2 for a total of $450.38 the cashier could not explain to me what these extra charges are because on the original **** receipt these charges are not mentionedBusiness Response

Received a text from a family member stating to contact JAA. It was a urgent and important matter with a reference number. *** supposably is a mitigation company for EZCORP EZ MONEY. So I called this place he stated they were located in ****************** and advised they are not debt collectors but wanted me to give agreement to paying back a loan from 2012 of $3500 , he had previous addresses, last 4 of my social, Bank name at the time and employer from that time frame. However, was unable to provide proof of this debt even though he argued up and down they have been trying to contact me for years and that I never responded. What made me furious was the fact they contacted a family member prior to me and telling them it was a urgent legal matter when once contacted they couldnt provide all the information of where it came from. I contacted the bank I had at the time they didn't find anything as I know I used services before but I knew I paid them back then again I was a college student at the time so who knows but j pay if its legit mine but no proof and then treating me with civil court to get the balance if nothing is agreed upon at the moment was insane especially for a debt if even mine from 13 years ago. Also, I contacted EZCORP she searched my name and social and she verbally stated nothing was popping up for me in her system and if so those loans had been forgiven if it was that old. I don't do well with accusations or fraudulent ways so I advised for him to call back today 3.4.25 so I can do my research and as I'm finding I am not the only person this is happening too.Business Response

I went to the ************************************************************ location and purchase a ************* Neverfull special edition purse. The purse came with a receipt and was supposedly to be real. I purchased a ************************** and they stated that the purse is not real and it was 100% fake. I contacted the store manager by the name ***** and she stated that I need to provide the documents and the paperwork of the service and stated that I can get store credit and I do not want store credit I want the money back on my credit card and she refused to do so. She even hung up in our faces just because she don't want to take accountability for there own negligence on authentication of designers goods.

I am rejecting this response because: I was contacted by the corporate office who informed me that the district manager would be reaching out to me who is usually good at resolving these issues as of today I still have not been contacted by the district manager and no attempts have been made to rectify the situation or fix the amount I owe to reflect what I have paid.
Regards,
***************************I owed being the total I have paid on the ring is $1884.74. So I asked for the manager she said my receipts were for two separate transactions and different rings and I showed her the receipts I had and item descriptions she then said I was refunded $250 on the 27th and I told her no they refused me a refund and I made another payment that day. She said the ring was dropped from layaway that day so I showed her the receipt she asked who helped me I described her she said no one like that works there. She then said my ring was dropped for a missed payment 11/11 when I had spoke to them on the phone and told them I would be there on the 14th to make a payment so it wasnt dropped on the 11th because the payment on the 14th falls under the same payment as my initial first purchase. I then asked for her name and business licensing information she refuse both and told me her coorperate phone number would be the only reference I would get I do have the entire interaction recordedBusiness Response
