  I paid these people ON TIME EVERY MONTH and stopped when my husband died and I sold the home. They were notified IMMEDIATELY to come and get the building. They had various reasons for not coming. I sold the house and moved and they finally got the building. They are trying to say I was 2 months behind when I called which I was NOT and then they took several months to come and get the building with some lame excuse that I called but was supposed to call them back. That is NOT TRUE. MY HUSBAND DIED AND OBVIOUSLY I HAD ALOT GOING ON. I CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE REPORTED THIS TO A CROOKED COLLECTION AGENCY AND HAVE PUT ON MY CREDIT REPORT WHICH I HAVE DISPUTED. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEN OR APPARENTLY PREMIER BUILDINGS IF THIS IS WHO THEY USE. I DO NOT OWE THEM ANYTHING.

  The customer never issued a voluntary return on the building.  When the customer defaulted on the contract by missing payments, the account was tasked for repossession.  The customer owes the debt for the payments the customer did not pay for the time the customer had the building.   

   

  The customer can contact the office to take care of the balance owed on the account.

  On 8/3/2022 the customer entered into a rental agreement for a 10x20 shed.  The customer agreed to the payment amount that is outlined in the rental agreement in section C and E. 
  No refund would be available as the company does go by terms of the rental agreement signed on 8/3/2022. The company is unable to speculate to any other persons payment or contracts. 
  The customer agreed payment amount is outlined in the rental agreement and it does not indicate that the customer was to ever have made any payments in the amount of $150.00 per the customers statement.
  If the customer is not satisfied the customer can make the decision to go by terms of section O of the rental agreement by contacting the company to issue a voluntary return on the shed.

  I rented two sheds from you - one as a garage and one as a closet. when we had a major accident and got behind, you told us you would work with us to get caught up, setting up a payment arrangement then repossessed the shed with all my belongings in it, and destroyed nearly everything inside.

  Company is billing its customers for multiple payments to cover a single payment. When i asked where my payment from today went, i was told that the amount of ****** was charged to cover the cost of *******s payment. That payment is only ***** per month. When i asked for a break down i was given the following. ****** for ******* payment, ***** for contract reinstatement fee, ***** for returned payment fee and 136 for *** fee. After being hung up on and getting passed to several people I was told that the *** fee is also the returned payment fee. The last woman I spoke with stated that I paid the miss payment, also ******* payment and both fees associated. I then asked why I was making 2 payments for 1 month. I was told I was not and that I was paying the *** and ******* payment. I strongly feel that this company is wrongfully if not illegally charging it's customers. At this time I am asking for Credits to my account based on how many times I have paid this *** fee. The company also refused to give this information when I asked how many times I have been charged this "fee".

  On Tuesday Oct 31, I called and made a payment of $250 and I stated that I would call back on Friday November 03 and make another payment of $250 and I was told "Okay". On Friday at approximately 12:30pm I was an hour from finishing my job and getting paid. I get a call that a repo man was trying to repo my shed. I called blue barn and was going to use every dollar I had to pay the 250 right then and not when I got paid in about a hour. Now I was told that I had to pay $500 to keep the driver from taking it. I asked them to give me a hour, I can pay 250 now and another 250 in an hour. She just kept repeating the same phrase like a robot. I begged to please work with me and I want to work this out but I just need a hour. She repeated the same dry phrase " If you can't pay the amount of $500 then the driver will pick up the shed. So they wouldn't even take the 250 that was agreed upon on Tuesday for me to pay today. I pleaded for a hour but was told no and seeing I was wasting time instead of finishing my job so I hung up and called the driver and told him what they said. I had to drop all my tools right in that spot and rush home to empty the shed. The driver stated that he wished they would communicate with him more because if he knew that I was going to pay it today then he wouldn't have come! They were calling him and trying to force him to take the shed with our property in it and even called the cops as the driver was helping us throw our property and my customers property out of the building quickly. The officer asked if everything is ok and left. I didn't get all our property out but I let him do his job because I had to rush back to my job and finish it. This could have been resolved very easily but they refused. They refused the amount that was agreed I would be paying that day and now wanted double the amount that day.

  In regards to the complaint, the consumer was several months in default.  On 10/31/2023 the consumer did make a partial payment of $250.48 but was informed at that time that the amount paid was not enough to stop repossession actions.  The customer was made aware that anything paid would not stop repossession actions unless consumer justified the account.
  
  The driver arrived on location on 11/3/2023 the consumer contacted us and was only on the phone less than 10 minutes.  Consumer was reminded, and informed of the amount to stop repossession actions. Consumer was not able to justify the amount.
  
  The payment received on 10/31/2023 on the account was applied towards defaulted payments, the consumer has an outstanding balance owed on the item while he used the item but did not pay.
  
  The consumer is urged to contact the office to justify the remaining balance owed on the account.

  As I stated before, I made a payment and was told that I could call back in two days and make another payment of 250. When I called back two days later they refused to take the 250 and now wanted me to pay 500. I asked for 1 hour to get my paycheck so I could pay 500  now, after I was told  250. They would not give me a hour to add 250 to the 250 I had in order to make the 500.  When the repo driver got to my house he told me that if he knew I was making a payment today then he would not have come to get my shed. He said the office didnt communicate with him to let him know that I was making a payment that day. 

  Now as of 12/8/23 I have still not been able to to get the property of mine that was taken in the shed. I was told I could get it immediately but I have not been given the location or the permission to retrieve my personal property from the shed.

  I purchased a building from Bluehouse rentals. They use a company named Midsouth hauling to deliver the building . It was put in backwards . I told them to put the front facing my garage. But it wasnt. The man said my daughter told him to put it that way But she said all she told them was where it was to go. Besides being put in wrong it is unlevel there is a wide gap above the door and the siding is separating due to it being unlevel. I have called several times but cant seem to get the issue resolved. Thanks for any help.

  The lessee did not purchase a building from Blue House Rentals.  The lessee leased a building through Rental Access that is managed through Blue House Rentals.  The lessee did this through Premier Portable Buildings. 
  Blue House Rentals nor Rental Access sell, deliver or set buildings.  This consumer would need to contact the manufacture or the dealership.  If the lessee is not satisfied with the building per the terms of the rental agreement signed on 7/11/2023, then section (n) of the contract does allow the lessee the option to terminate the agreement by surrender the building.  The lessee would need to contact the office at ************ option 2 to discuss the surrender of the building.
  Furthermore, we did reach out to the manufacture and the lessee did sign off on a delivery slip as satisfied with the delivery of the portable building.  Document is attached.

  I have been paying this company since 2020 for the portable building and when I first redo this building the door was damaged and still is. I spoke with driver who said they notated it but company never did anything about this issue. EVERYTIME I ask for the payout amount it never changes, they have completely overcharged me and claimed to have added $700 for legal fees after I have asked for a copy of my contract. The company is very unprofessional and the customer service representative are rude. I asked to speak with a manager and they speak you worse than the representative. They claimed that I refused to let them pick up the building and thats why I was charged when in honesty the guy who came to pick it up decided not to take the building because we always pay for it. I do not know how much I have paid total or the remaining balance as they will not provide such information or copies of contract. Communication with this business is their worst and I would like and explanation on how a company can fo business and speak to their costumers that way.
