Bogus Charges turned to Collections
OMG - Really????? Apparently charged for two games that I never rented and now turned over to collections - NCS out of Oklahoma. When they were still in business I started receiving Movie Gallery statements to my forwarding address as I had moved months before statements started coming. I called the store on several occassions who said it was taken care, their mistake as they did not have cameras to record their transactions nor did they always ID the person or persons renting on accounts. I carefully made notes each time I called and noted exactly who I talked to. The statements kept coming and finally reached district manager who also said account taken care. Funny thing - I was charged for game rentals and I did not even own a gaming system of any kind and the date of the so called rentals happened after I moved out of the city of Maumelle. I had moved more than 30 miles south so why would I even bother to rent from them?????? Anyway, I checked credit report other day and as you have all discovered being charged bogus and ridiciously charges and turned over to NCS and never once have they made any attempt to contact me. Movie Gallery has filed for Banpruptcy Case No: 10-30696 (DOT) as of 11-18-2010 under Chapter 11 so they sold there unresolved accounts or forced their store account write offs back into bogus system to give past balances and have sold to NCS in the hopes of screwing everyone over. I called the NCS who patiently explained to me about the account, as my blood is boling, but never once did they ask about my address or a phone number and I called from a blocked number so couldn't be tracked through caller id. I told them they could marked the account as in dispute and I would be contacting Attorney General, FTC, and BBB immediately and to Transunion where the claim had been filed and there would be no payments made to them and left it at that. Now EVERYONE needs to bombard every resource and take every avenue not to only help yourself but all the innocent victims in this scam. ARKANSAS

collection claim filed with credit reporting agencies
A collection claim against me for the amount of $146 by Hollywood Video was filed with the credit reporting agencies. I didn't find out about this until I went to buy a new car. This collections claim lowered my credit score and caused me to pay a higher finance rate on my new car. Now, I have to contact the three credit reporting agencies to get this false claim removed. I was never contacted by my local video store or by Movie Gallery. they never contacted me about any late or missing videos. Now, there is no way to contact the company because they filed for bankruptcy.

Account sent to collections
Movie Gallery sent an account to collections which has posted to my credit report this month. This negative collection of $99 has dropped my credit score by almost 100 points. I have never been notified that I owed any money to this company. I haven't even rented a movie from Movie Gallery in over a year. I was mortified by this and have sent a dispute to experian. I am waiting for the results to see if this can be removed from my report. I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else as well?

Rip OFF Scam
Movie Gallery on my credit report saying i owe them over $100.00 !!! Last time I went in to rent i was told they were going out of business and couldn't rent unless I was in Powerplay program, which I wasn't because I wanted nothing to do with them pulling money out of my bank account so I left and rented nothing ...They go out of business and 2 months later they have put me into a supposed collection agency, no phone call, no letter, nothing just sent to collections, took my credit score down 78 points and I owe them nothing, How can this be legal ?????They had horrible store management go out of business and trying to rip off previous customers...PRETTY LOW !!! Now I get to fight for how long to get rid of this when it was never owed to begin with...Isn't there something we can do ??????

Account sent to collections without any notice of debt
Movie Gallery is now turning account holders over to collections for alledged unreturned rentals and unpaid late fees. This is the same thing that is happening to Hollywood Video customers. I received an alert from my credit monitoring service that I had a potentially negative report posted to my Experian credit report on November 14, 2010. Upon further investigation, I learned that Movie Gallery was the originator of this claim being posted by National Credit Solutions out of Oklahoma City. This negative report shows that I opened an account in October, 2010 and owed $122.00. My Movie Gallery account is certainly not new and has been active many years. Having this negative issue on my bureau has dropped my credit score nearly 100 points. I have not received any notice of unreturned items and have not used this account since early 2010. I do not have details of what they are accusing me of, but I do know that all rentals were returned on time to the businesses drop box inside the store. This store has been closed for about six months now. This looks to be a terrible scam on many account holders of the Movie Gallery/Hollywood Video stores. I will be sending a dispute letter to Experian as a first attempt to correct this false accusation. I will also make my state's attorney general aware of this consumer fraud.

Poor / Rude Service
I sent this to Movie Gallery at their customer service email address for buying movies online. To my surprise, I got a response the following day apologizing for the service I received but merely just told me they would inform the liguidation manager. I haven't heard anything. So buyer beware if you go there to purchase any DVD's during their closeout sale, CHECK THEM FIRST BEFORE paying for them.
I went in tonight (7/2/10) at 9:30pm and purchase 4 new release DVD's at around 9:55pm at the Republic, Missouri location. There was single male and a single female employee working, I did not get their names but it should be fairly easy to determine who they are. The male cashed me out and first gave me a total of $25 something. I questioned it because it was suppose to be 4 movies for $22. He said it was tax. I told him I couldn't believe that there is over $3 tax. He said that is what it is, that is what the computer says so it's right and stood back and folded him arms. He was down right rude, it's been a very long time since I seen/heard such horrible customer service. Said he is losing his job, oh well. I told him I wasn't going to pay that. The female over looked the computer screen and showed him that he rung them up wrong. He shrugged his shoulders giving me a smurky look and told me it was $23 something. I gave him cash, he set them on the counter then I opened the cases to look at them.
I noticed a few scratches on two of the movies and asked now that he opened them and I saw scratches, if I could switch it out for better ones. Bear in mind that I was still at the counter and never left the store, I was standing right there. He said no, that all sales were final and pointed at the sign. I said I knew that but I haven't left yet and examing them before I leave. He said I should of asked before and there was nothing he could do. I asked him again, if I can just go over and get another and he must of told me about 4 times that sales are final and that was that. I was getting somewhat angry at this point and said you have these movies all over the stores and I just wanted to walk over and get another. He kept telling me that he wouldn't do it and the store was closing, I had to leave.
I understand that the store is going out of business and he is losing his job but I shouldn't be treated this way. I probably spent thousands of dollars at Movie Gallery and I was in shock of this type of attitude and service. You guys should at least go out in style, not like this, its a real shame. Is this Movie Gallery's corporate attitude towards their customers? Is it really that nobody cares now or is this employee completely out of line and doesn't represent your company and needs to be talked to? Do you want someone like this at the counter working with the general public? All I wanted to do is change out two DVD's because there is no guarantee anymore and there was scratches. Again I never left the store, I was still at the counter. Please email me back or please feel free to call me

Customer Service
I went into the Clinton, OK Movie Gallery today to rent AVATAR and found out they were closing. I asked about my 3 Month Pre-Paid PowerPlay status and how to process a refund. The member of management was absolutely no help. I have spent 10 years in retail and have never been treated this way. She was from a Texas Movie Gallery. I have been through one bankruptcy and two buyouts in retail and never gave this type of customer service. She also spent all of her time on the phone talking to other stores about the Clinton, OK employees being terminated, their salaries, and unemployment benefits. I can't wait to resolve my membership issue and move on. Sometimes it helps to keep it local, so when businesses close you are still given repsect intead of just being screwed.

Accused of Game Scratch
We had recently rented out a game titled Alien vs Predator for my brother, the game was taken out before us so we had a bit of a wait for it to come back into the store, they didn't bother checking the bottom of the cd before we were allowed to have it and just gave it to us.
A week goes by and we take the game back in and they instantly blame us for scratching the game when my brother told me it was already scratched and said we were the only ones to have it.
I do not wish to do business any more with these people, they look for any mistake and try to put the blame on its customers, I even contacted HQ to see if they would help me, but its my word against there's and the managers.
She did not check the computer to see who had it last time and stated we were the only ones to have had it.
