DO NOT DO IT! They don't speak English and they will never leave you alone! They now know how to steal phone numbers from other people and use the phone numbers as caller ID so when they call you it looks like a number you may know, but you call the number back the person who has the phone number has never called you. They literally figured out how to use innocent peoples phone numbers to scam YOU. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR INFORMATION OR THEY WILL USE IT TO TRY TO SCAM SOMEONE ELSE. (they should all die f*** anyone who tries to take advantage of elderly people or steal). MAYBE THEY SHOULD GET A JOB
I came across the site and started to browse houses in my area, one of them I recognized instantly from the photo, it was one my wife and I were interested in 7 months ago but sold before we could look at it. The ad stated it was a multi-family 4-5 bedroom with 3 baths, it isn't, its a single family, 4 bedroom, bath and a half, and not for sale. The current owner is in the process of restoring the house and carriage house in the back.
I have been connected with this company for a month, they said in order to find a house I had to be connected to Lexington law for credit repair in which this company took money from my account. I have yet to have any services provided and have tried to contact this rent to own company in which have had no success. I now believe that this is a scam.
They have my homes listed as rentals. My homes are listed without my permission, and my homes ARE NOT RENTALS
SCAMMERS!
The options for refund are filling out form sending it back to them, or take 50 percent refund. This is a joke! It took cursing them out to have anything done.
Once you get on their call list you will be called 7 to 8 times a day through an automated system and you can't even tell anyone to take you off the freaking list. They also call with different local numbers in my area so I have to pick up due to me having a teen and trying to conduct business. It's the most annoying freaking system ever. Beware! This is definitely a scam! When I first considered I did research and absolutely no one said on their reviews they helped them get a home. They will try to get you to pay to get your credit fix WHICH I already had but they were too consistent that I get it anyway. When I rejected their program all I get is calls ALL DAY LONG AND EVERY DAY!
I found this site because I was at a friend's house she had just leased to own and we are looking to move into the country, but lost our jobs to COVID19 so a traditional mortgage is two years away again! I tried the free trial, but my bank, thankfully, denied the transaction! I've had two calls so far in a 30 minute period. I tooK the first call and the lady asked me about my credit and if I wanted credit repair... she said that I had to go through "credit counseling" to see how they can help. I told her that I'm well aware how credit repair works and that my credit report is 100% accurate (I have 2 collections from 6 years ago that will go away in 6 months) and that by law, there is nothing any credit repair company that can do. I finally had to hang up on her because she was telling me to waste my time and possibly money on something I knew could not do anything for me legally. Do not use this site! Find Lis Pendis for preforeclosures From online court records and write to the owners yourself.
I was browsing for new homes and places to rent (obviously) and ultimately decided not to go forward with this site. However, I keep on getting calls from random numbers all across the country.
They go like this: I answer the call, there is a long pause, then a presumably female person on the other end says "Hi... (my name)? This is_____ from RentToOwn, how are you today?" And I hang up. The kicker? If I call the number back, there is no ringing-nothing. It IMMEDIATELY says the exact same thing, just: "Hi... (my name)? This is_____ from RentToOwn, how are you today?"
It's the creepiest thing, and I keep blocking the numbers left and right, but they are always different. I can't get into my account to cancel it, and even if I could I doubt it would make a difference since they've probably sold my number hundreds of times already.
I don't know what to do, but I am warning you now. DO NOT SIGN UP OR EVEN CLICK ON THEIR WEBSITE. They WILL mess with you and it's disgusting.
They sold my number I get 50+ calls, texts and emails from different numbers every single d**** day! I hope they get nasty karma for the bulls*it they've caused. Waking me up at 6 am until 11pm. Absolutely do not contact them whatsoever.
My fiancé and I went through rent to own homes, they charged me 49 dollars out of my account after canceling my membership before the 7 days it gives you. They would not give me a refund. They are trying to charge me AGAIN this month AFTER canceling my membership on August 10th. DO NOT GO THROUGH THIS, THEY WILL WASTE YOUR TIME AND KEEP CHARGING YOU. $#*!ING RIDICULOUS, IM PISSED!

I had a 49.00 payment paid out to them and no one ever helped me, the homes i found i contacted them myself and when i told the rep to cancel my account because of the money stolen from my account, he tried to offer me a cheaper option, why. So u can take a $100 next time.
These people are crooks I wanted to the trial for 1$ and I've had to file fraud charges and replace my bank card twice. Avoid them next week I am reporting to the BBB.
I've had a few inquiries about my home listed on this site! It is NOT FOR RENT nor for sale! Idk how to report these people!
I didn't even finish signing up and I already knew this was a scam. As soon as I submitted my phone number, I recieved a call from a lady. She tells me to hurry up and finish filling out the rest of my info so they can send me the listings, but before I could even respond to her, she hung up. I did not finish filling out the rest of my info but I started getting all kinds of real estate marketing spam through text messages. Stay clear from these marketing spammers.
This is clearly a site not to help anyone get in a home the pretend to care with a quick call and tell u to sign up to a credit fix company, then they send you all these affiliates to where they get paid overtime you sign up to one of the so call available houses website which will always lead to a 7 day free trial and then a monthly fee.
There is never anyone you can talk with and dont depend on anyone to call and truly help,
Please...
BEWARE of rent to own. Org I contacted them and then they contacted me two different times to try to move forward on renting to own a home wanted to get information if you have good credit don't waste your time because they literally will not talk to you so you have to have bad credit in order for rent to own to talk with you due to they want to sign you up with a credit repair program that will cost you. This information is not disclosed on their website that if you have good credit they cannot work with you companies like this are very misleading especially for first-time home buyers that are so excited and waited most of their lives to buy a new home it's really sad that companies like this can take advantage of those kind of people shame on you guys.
I sign up for rent to own. The listings I got were for North Carolina. I live in South Carolina and I could not change the city so 2 days later I canceled the account. Then 3 weeks later they charged my account. I called after four attempts to reach them someone finally answered the phone. They are only going to give me 25 dollars back in four days. If I want the full amount then my request for my money it will be sent to legal. So basically I wasted my money and time on a site that will take your money and not have the correct information nor access to what you're looking for. Rent to own is a scam!
After putting in my zip code, they stated they had rent to own houses near my zip code, I wanted to know what they considered near, but Ann only wanted my information and money. They also piggybacked onto a local number to get me to answer.
Answer: Company is a complete scam. Cancel your credit card and cut your losses
Answer: The entire process seems like a scam. I read this: https://digs.co/rent-to-own/
