They charged my card $800 last month when my purchase was paid for. The monthly amount when I owed was $197. So ridiculous and you can't access the website. Calling there gets you nowhere.
If I could give less than 1 star I would. I thought of buying a stove. So I set up payments, but then changed my mind. Now these guys keep taking payments on a stove I never purchased to begin with
I reached the 5 month buyout at $687.50 but chose to continue renting and paying weekly. Called back 2 months later to find out what I owed which should have been less than $687.50 now. To my surprise the rep said I owed more totalling $706.95. He could not explain why. He got a supervisor who asked me how I was doing. I said, "Not good". Just like that he switched me over to the survey. No one tried to call me back but I called and got another rep on the phone who had no record of my buyout being $706.95. She told me it was last $687.50 as my records indicated. She apologized and said I could buyout for $412.50... which I did on the spot. In 7 to 10 days I should be receiving a confirmation letter and she gave me a transaction number. I'm still leery waiting to see if they will continue to take the weekly payment though I owe them nothing now. I would not recommend this company. I think they are stealing money from customers. Awful experience.
They returned so many payments and now saying we have to back pay $400 worth. We had tge money and card on file correctly it was not on us!
Was told something entirely different than what was originally said. The company has shady practices basically charging you double of what you originally bought something for. Horrible company. They scam you out of your money.
Leased a $280 treadmill they wanted me to pay $1000 to own it. When you ask for recipes and statements they have excuses to not send you but want your entire information with social security. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with them
A 750.00 purchase back in 2017... which was paid monthly and definitely more than the value was paid to them... the interest made it tripled in cost after the 90 days. Which made it impossible to pay.
I contacted them directly as I believed at that time less than 200.00 could be paid to pay off if they could extend grace period. Which they very rudely denied. If life wasn't already rough enough after loosing my husband, which I also explain there was some hardship they said they I could simply return the furniture. (where were my kids suppose to sit?)
Fast forward a year later I relocated and surprise surprise WHY NOT LEASE IT sold my account to a company called Credit management corp. This company is not a collection company they are head hunters. They went to court filed a court order stating I owed 1,177.00... Again the furniture was only 750.00.
And though I was never served with a court order they went to court stated I was and were granted the judgement. Fast forward 05/2021 my saving account has been frozen for the 5th time so far I'm down 2,311.45 including bank fees, but not including what I had already paid WHY NOT LEASE IT!
I have contacted the courts today and will be seeing Credit Management Corp in court as I have nor have I ever had any legal agreement with them and they have definitely frozen my account one to many times( as of today 5 times). And WHY NOT LEASE IT will be next for fraud and illegal sales of accounts! If you ever need to use a leasing company I highly recommend Progressive leasing they are transparent and their interest is low!... WHY NOT LEASE IT are completely fraudulent and definitely not a company you want to do business with!
OMG IF YOU EVER LISTEN TO ANY REVIEW YOU'VE EVER READ LISTEN TO THIS ONE! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IT IS THE BIGGEST RIP OFF ON THE PLANET THERE ARE MANY OTHER COMPANIES LIKE IT THAT ARE WAY WAY BETTER LIKE QUAD PAY FOR EXAMPLE!
I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH TO YOU PEOPLE DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF THEY ARE THIEVING BASTARDS!

They were taking out both a payoff and renting amount at the same time. Called me on a Sunday morning. I'll never use this garbage again. Last but not lease. Whoever runs this pos company which I believe comes from India are stupid people
I would not recommend this company AT ALL. You make payments on time over and over yet your purchase price never goes down. They claim I owe them over $300 for a $500 purchase that I have been paying on for over 6 months. Stay away. You do not want wrapped up in this mess! I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau as well as other avenues to help me.
I am still paying and it looks like until may, i bought a stove from sears for 2500. Thought hey why not lease to own OMG i have paid almost double for the stove they rip us blind, my fault for not looking more into them. Do your self a favor save up the money first, these people should be listed as a terrorist organization biggest rip off shame on sears and others for using scum bags like this.
I cancelled a Sears refrigerator lease within 24 hours. I provided Tempoe with the cancellation numbers. Tempoe was supposed to refund my $120 deposit but I never received any refund. I've called over and over and they keep telling me that they paid me the $120 refund, which they have not! Now I'm getting emails saying that a monthly payment of $302 will be deducted from my checking account. I don't even have a lease with them! There is no option to remove my banking information online and when I call they say they cannot do it over the phone either. I will write a letter to Tempoe and formally request my banking information to be removed being that I do not even have a lease. I don't trust them not to charge my checking account especially since I never received my refund. This has got to be illegal, they stole $120 from me and now I'm in jeopardy of having more money deducted from my account because they refuse to delete my banking info from their system.
Horrible experience - can't even explain their true policy! Purchased outdoor furnishings last June under the pretense that this was a Lease Purchase plan meaning every payment I was making is going toward the purchase price of the items leased! WRONG -They continue to take my money $334.14 monthly and in Oct 2020 tell me by December it will be paid in full and no more monthly payments... except I find today they deducted $334.14 both in January and February 2021! So I call today - Saturday... and they now tell me I have to complete a Purchase transaction of $946.74 to stop any further Lease payments out of my bank account! So I ask them since it is less than 24 hours can you please deduct the $334.14 paid from the $946.74 since it is less than 24 hours and in the midst of a pandemic to help alleviate any monthly payment stress for me... They say NO! They can't do that and it is not their policy! So I escalate to speak to a Supervisor - but conveniently they are too busy and can't assist me! They say sorry I was misled and they will escalate for me but have to wait 3-5 days for information in my email to determine next steps. Basically nothing they can do and too bad since the payment from Friday was in a Pending status and already processed! I am calling my bank and disputing! Thieves, liars and cheats to their own benefit! Way to take care of your customers! I will be sharing with everyone I know and tell them all to NEVER NEVER NEVER LEASE OR PURCHASE from them!
They make it incredibly easy for scammers to take out loans in your name. I am now struggling to save my credit score because they allowed an identity thief to take out a loan in my name easily then they passed the debt to another company. Verify who you're loaning huge amounts of money to! Shut them down!
I leased an air purifier and it was not what I thought it would be. I still completed my entire contract but at the end of the lease because I wasn't happy with the machine, I did not want to purchase it. So I called to see where I send it back. Per my agreement, I was not obligated to purchase the unit. When I tried to lease something else they said I was denied! Why? I completed my obligation until my contract ended so what's the problem?. It's not fair at all.
I haven't received my refund it's been three months and every time I called inducing they're in the process. Bad customer service. The representative denied my request to speak to management they had me on hold for an hour then they hang up the phone.
Paid off lease after one payment. Item purchased was not delivered as promised so we cancelled our order. Was told it would take 5 business days for the refund to be credited to our account, no money yet. Now it is going to be an additional 5 days. Each time I have called I have been lied to, will not ever use Sears/Tempoe again. Worst customer service ever!
This company, will remove extra money and not let you know why, I called to ask about it and the customer service line doesn't answer. Also, they do NOT reply to e-mail - STAY AWAY!
They will take more money out of ur account then you owe. I will be turning them into the Better Business Bureau. I have proof of such transactions
Answer: Because people do not read their agreement before they sign it. Whynotleaseit is a LEASE company with a purchase option. On the agreement states that you can do an Early Purchase Option of your merchandise with a small $ of service fee. Also it says that you had to be on the agreement for 5 months and after that call to set up your purchase quote BUT PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE THE TIME TO READ, they just sign it without even knowing. If customers do not call after the 5 month minimum term to purchase their merchandise on the agreement says that you have 3 options: Keep leasing the item, purchase the merchandise or return the merchandise.
Answer: You will pay for the item until your dead. You will never actually own this unless you take the early buy out
