Certainly this is not a criminal issue. You may very well have an excellent Michigan Consumer Protection Act case against the rent-a-center. Please contact me through www.kliszlaw.com to discuss in detail. Tim Klisz

Re: rent a center

NO, it does not sound like you have done anything criminal, so relax. If the furniture was defective, you should have notified them of the problems as soon as possible, and in writing. You may need to hire a lawyer to help sort this out, and to get their attention to fix the problem, otherwise they may continue to brush you off.
