At rentA, we strive to make your rental experience smooth and hassle-free. However, we understand that sometimes payment issues can occur. Here’s what happens if a payment fails during your rental period, and how we address these situations to ensure both transparency and fairness.
Failed Payment Process
Initial Payment Attempt:
When a payment fails, we don't immediately take drastic actions. We understand that issues such as expired credit cards, bank errors, or temporary financial shortfalls can happen.
Subsequent Attempts:
Over the span of the next two weeks, we will attempt to charge your payment method again. This gives you some time to sort out any issues with your bank or update your payment details in our system.
Communication is Key:
Throughout this process, we maintain open lines of communication. We will inform you via email or phone if a payment fails and before each subsequent attempt. This is to ensure that you are fully aware of the situation and can take necessary actions to rectify it.
If Payment Issues Persist
Contacting You for Discussion:
If repeated attempts to charge your payment method fail, we will reach out to discuss the reasons behind the failure. This conversation aims to find a mutual solution and may include setting up a new payment plan or updating your payment information.
Request to Return Products:
In situations where we cannot resolve the payment issues and continue to not receive payments, we will have to ask you to return the product(s). Our goal is to resolve matters amicably and avoid inconvenience on both sides.
Cancellation Fee and Legal Actions:
Depending on the terms of your rental agreement, a cancellation fee may apply if the product is returned due to non-payment. In extreme cases, where no resolution is possible, legal actions may be considered. We view these measures as a last resort and prefer to resolve payment issues through cooperation and communication.
How to Avoid Payment Issues
Update Payment Information:
Regularly check and update your payment information, especially if your bank issues a new card or your old card expires.
Monitor Your Bank Account:
Keep an eye on your bank account balance and ensure sufficient funds are available before the payment due date.
