They lied to get to use my debit card for $1.00 to do a credit check! Never told me they were secretly enrolling me in a credit monitoring program for a recurring monthly charge. I went off and told my bank about and they refunded my money and blocked all correspondence with their credit monitoring program. Also, when I tried to contact them a few times, they acted as if I was a nuisance. They're right, I am a nuisance when it comes to my money and how it's spent!

It was only one dollar for seven days. They charged my debit card $49.68 plus 1.00 dollar. They lie to the customer about getting a refund but No Refund, it's been 5 days.

Got to confirm that renting process got way easier with this company. I mean I regularly have trips around the country and sometimes I have to stay in certain towns longer than I expect, like for several months.

It's awesome that you can quickly find needed house for renting and then move in. I know that this procedure implies renting for a while and then make a decision whether to buy this house or not, but maybe I will think of it in future.
I will have to issue a mortgage for that, so nowadays it's more preferable for me to rent houses.

Every rent-to-own home on the site, the seller is unaware their home is even placed on it. They charge you one dollar, and then for the next two years try and charge your card every day for $50. They lock you out of their sight so you cannot remove your credit card, and if you call, they hang up on you. 100%, a scam from India! Avoid at all cost! Criminals!

I called to cancel my subscription. Before I did this I read the reviews. The first thing I did was called my bank and blocked my debit card and ordered a new one. When i called this company I spoke with a very nice lady and asked her to cancel my membership. She said she was going to send me A $20.00 coupon and cancel my subscription. I explained to her I wanted my subscription cancelled again. She understood. Before we hung up she quickly told me she lowered to subscription to $19.99 a month. I explain to the lady on the phone I had already blocked my card and I did not give her authorization to ATTEMPT TO withdraw ANY additional money out of my account. My advice to anyone here is once you give them your credit card/debit card number block it because they will stop at nothing to charge it. I moved all my money to another account and notified the bank just in case they managed to get into my account. I believe these people work on commission only and will stop at NOTHING to gain access to your account.

Yesterday I googled "rent to own" and started looking at just one link. You had to fill out your info to ask any questions, and it cost $1 for 1 week. Before I submitted anything, I started reading the small print then googled the company name and saw lots of complaints. The complaints said they charge a dollar then $49 per month afterward and they won't give it back. I never hit submit, but before I could clear out my info fields, I was getting a phone call from Affordable Houses. I never even hit enter, never submitted anything. Today I got both an email and text. When I unsubscribed to the email, I received a message that said I was unsubscribed but it didn't cancel my membership. I called them and the woman barely let me talk. She said I'm not in her system but if I gave her my card info she could have her supervisor double check it. I told her I am NOT giving you my card number!
I thought I was safe as long as I didn't hit enter or submit. Lesson learned! Don't even type it in!

I was charged 49.60 TWICE in the same business day and the lady I talked to was hateful and said there was NO way this would have happened because they're not allowed to charge you twice in the same day. Also said they wouldn't give a refund because it was in the "fine print" that they do not issue refunds.So don't waste your time(:

Was not happy with the service. I cancelled the same day and they still charged me $49.50. Even after I sent proof of my cancellation. No one ever contacted me back not even to say they were going to to give me a refund or anything. WOW!

I signed for the trial and cancelled immediately. Then they charged me full price later on along with a charge from Libiyi which I have no clue what this is supposed to be for. Stay away from this company. I don't know. How they even qualify for a.org status.

This site states that the asking price for a home is $150,000 and that it is listed with a real estate agent. I found and contacted the owners of the home. This is a $3.6 million home and is NOT listed for sale with anyone! The owner is an 86-year-old man! PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS SITE! I took the chance on the 7-day trial and put in my card number, knowing that I would have to cancel my card, and a fake phone number. I have a special email that I use for signing up for sites. I will be posting this warning across multiple review sites as well as reporting it to the BBB and FBI Internet Fraud Division.

They took $40/no for the last 3 months to find out that rent to own properties don't really exist on this site! Every realtor called saying not rent to town even though the site says that they are. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY! And they refuse to take NO AND CANCEL for an option and harass you into discount pkgs. DONT BOTHER TO SIGN UP! ITS A SCAM. AND I AM REPORTING THIS TO THE BBB AS WELL! SCAMMERS FOR YOUR MONEY IS THE REAL NAME OF THIS COMPANY!

I got signed up for this website somehow illegally and they claimed it was all shown on their webpage. I was looking up info on rent to own. They charged my account even using an old debit card that I no longer have working which is super shady and two it takes them 7-10 days to even consider the refund which is also shady and they wouldn't give me an email with that info.

This company attempts to take money from my account every day I spoke with a person representing this company and I thought I had it understood that I have never given my information to this site and he understood and returned my money immediately now the next morning I look at my phone this company get rent to own has taken my money again and as I was emailing them about the thievery another attempt was made now I'm about to report this company to the better business bureau and possibly have some legal action to place cause what are doing is against the law stilling consumers money also stole information.
Mad as hell
They get no star

After they get you to register to view the listings they are no longer intersted in offering services. Luckily, the card I used was a gift card so they will be unable to process any additional fees. Such a scam!

Heads up! $50 a month for this site with horrible customer service. I just called to cancel as I didn't know I'd be charged that amount to view. And she would not refund let alone take a no I want to cancel for an answer. She was SO pushy, interrupting, and kept offering items one me. Don't use! Just get a realtor or a FREE site.

They kept calling me and I did not want to pay to look for homes. They were rude beyond compare and they have zero respect.

Constant calling several times per day. I have requested them to stop calling at least 20 times. Today I kept calling them. Harriett answered at least 20 times. If everyone would give them a dose of their own medicine it might help. I know it made me fell better.
