Customer ReviewsforJ. Oates Portraits

I love how they treated my daughter they were amazing in the begging they don't tell you 200 of the 500 gift card you win is to pay for pictures, the makeup, *************** are cheap they don't tell you about the prices until everything is done! How ever that's where it ended from being pushed to cough up $3000 that I did not have. After almost being talked into a outrageous priced package I had tried to tell them I have a single check a month I cant do $500 up front then 300 a month, then they said they can do monthly payments. They seemed very keen about working with single parents. I still tried to tell them I could not afford it, But said to finish setting up with Affirm which is who they work with or Klarna I said i could not get approved so they had me sign the contract for the total amount, Well I am now stuck with 300 a month payment. I tried reaching out to them No answer. I work hard to keep my credit up but now i have a payment I cant afford! They said they were understanding that a lot of parents are single parents and I believed them. I still haven't got a call back to make it right by any one from the * Oates. Because of this experience I am reminded that some of these businesses only care about getting you to sign the contract but after they don't honor their word. Or stand by their word of their sales people. They could have called me back.

I love the pictures and they treated my daughter so amazing. That part was a true fairy tale experience. How ever thats where it ended. From being pushed to cough up $200 which I didnt have at the time I used my credit card which is reserved usually for needs for me and my 4 kiddos. After almost being talked into a outrageous priced package I had to be honest 8 couldnt afford it. Then they said they can do monthy payments. They seemed very keen about working with single parents. I told then I couldnt afford to pay more then $40 a month and they said it would work. But said to finish setting up with Affirm which is who they work with. Had me sign the contract for the total amount and said when I set up with affirm it will be $40 a month paymets. Well I am now stuck with $77.87 a month payments. I tried reaching out to them and they just apologized and said they would have their supervisor call me with in 2 days. I threatened them with a review if they couldnt make it right. I reminded them that they are selling a fairy tale and instead its a fairy tale too good to be true. I work hard to keep my credit up by not making wise choices. This was one thing that I tried to think better of because they seemed so professional and legit. Now I am maying double what I could afford. This can possibly impact my credit if I cant keep up with payments i didnt agree to. They said they are understanding that a lot of parents are single parents and I believed them. Needless to say they kept trying to say call affirm and straighten it out with them. Well i made the deal and was sold a deal and quoted by them not affirm. I tried calling affirm cant get a real person. And I still havent got a call back to make it right by any one from the * Oates. Because of this experience I am reminded that some of these businesses only care about getting you to sign the contract but after they dont honor their word. Or stand by their word of their sales people. They could have called me back.
