we cant fight every fight. we got shyt that really demands our total focus/energy, like voting rights etc.

In a capitalist society entrenched in consumerism is predatory lending not a worthwhile cause?

But more importantly, politicians have 3, 4,or 6 years to get things done. At some point we should tream them like people working well paying jobs and expect them to get things done.

Rich people get scammed to. Maybe not for xboxes and other stuff but when they do they kick up an stench and the wheels of justice don't stop until people are behind bars.

There is nothing wrong with saying that there should be a cap for loans like this to protect the most vulnerable in society. Good for you that you have the common sense and the disposable income not to get caught up in that web. Not everyone is that lucky.

im kinda hesitant to group this in with payday loans who are preying on people who need money before they get evicted/have utilities shut off, etc

it's not the best use of money, but if you want to rent frivolous shyt for the experience :yeshrug:
Seems your framing this wrong.

Rent a center does not bill itself as a place to pick up frivolous things, but instead a place for people with low credit/income to afford necessaries - - often times as a "discount."

i'm on their site, and it's shockingly straightforward. for example it says "34.99 a week for this tv. your total payments will add up to 1800 dollars"

explain to me how telling someone what they will pay you for an item, is a "scam"

Compare the shay 6 piece queen bedroom set.
  • 1499 same as cash RAC.
  • Compared to1,000 on the Ashley furniture site.

Or other same as cash purchases:
  • PS4 717 dollars for 6 month same as cash price.
  • Nintendo Switch 799 same as cash price.
  • Xbox one s: 623 dollars for same as cash price.


:mjlol:

Everything about that store is predatory.

and you'd have to be shockingly stupid to pay that without knowing how to surf the internet to compare prices in 2018. either that, or the payment plan actually works for you, and would be roughly the same as putting it on a credit card anyway

im just curious what the law would say that you propose writing. i have no interest in defending a piece of shyt business like rent a center, but we can't legislate everything
