text: does anyone else rent things from a rental company like e-z rentals? if you knew you were late on paying the payment and you knew you would have money either tomorrow or tuesday would you hold the item hostage? i have paid i don't know how much on my computer and i haven't paid cause my husband got laid off from work and he should be getting his check either monday or tuesday so what would you do?  what can they do to you if you don't pay in a certain amount of time? have you rented anything and you were late? what did they do to you? i too am in a rent to own contract and your best bet is to call them and tell them what is going on when u expect money to come in they most likely will charge u a late fee depending on how late u are the rental company that i go through moved the payment back another month witch means i don't have to pay any thing that month just made it were i owned them a month longer then when it should have been paid off
