Rent a Center?

[troubled]

Does anyone know off-hand if Rent a Center reports timely payments on credit reports? Thinking of using them for a couple of things for a few months and wondered if it might help re-establish some credit.

Thanks!

They don't report anything to your credit report.

Even if they did, you'd be better off saving your money until you could afford to buy some furniture. RAC are loan sharks and in the long run, the money you would waste renting furniture from them wouldn't justify any possible benefit to your credit if such a benefit even existed.

If you are in need of furniture, try craigslist or a second-hand furniture store.

Not unless they have the 90 days same as cash or 120 days same as cash. Those are usually o.k. Otherwise, I wouldn't go that route either.

They do not report to the Big 3, but they do sell/report information on you in the secondary credit market.

Rental places, title pawns, buy here/pay here, etc.

I don't belive that they have anything to do with credit at all but if you call and just speak with someone that works there they should be able to tell you for certain.
