Borrow or steal, it's still a rip-off

Abstract:
Eavesdropping on gossip-filled conversations can sometimes end badly, but other times it can be very enlightening.

A few months ago, I was sitting in class when I learned of a Web site for a handbag and jewelry rental service. Before looking into it, I imagined it was a pretty good idea for young fashion lovers like me who couldn't afford their longtime coveted Chanel Classic 2.55 quilted bag....

Correct. They held an insane amount of money off one of my debit cards, and then arbitrarily closed my account. They are a complete and utter rip off. FYI*** my credit is fine. I doubt the rent to anyone, they just make money off using other peoples money for a week or so. I doubt they even are in the business of handbags.

I really appreciate you posting this. I have been telling this to people for months, but now maybe they will read this and see for themselves. I am majoring in fashion design and eshetics. I study high-end designers like crazy because if I didnt know who my boss was talking about, my job is on the line. Yet I can't stress enough to them, save up for the bag. Don't waste your money. Thanks for the advice :)

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies,
DO NOT Borrow their Bags, THEY ARE SO AFRAID YOU MIGHT STEAL THEM SO THEY TAKE FROM YOU FIRST!!!!
Yes they do have a statement somewhere about a credit check but they are so desperate to get a sell that they Debited a sign on fee of $9.95 and $356.73, ran my credit,but forgot to notify me that they cancelled my account and i didnt find out until i could not logon. To the managing partners of BAGBARROWANDSTEAL the ladies will get this info and so all your contracts will eventually go away because letters are being sent out to these upscale designers who allow there products being listed on your site.
You guys are just like the lose weight quick diet sites...Just STOPIT, oh i have a screen shot of your charges which all you had to do was to run the credit when membership is paid!! I know its a recession but DAMN how could you.
