    We purchased our rainbow in April of 2022 and tried to return the product after two weeks, only to be told it only had a three day return period which was disappointing for a nearly $3000 product. In the ensuing two years we only use the rainbow, perhaps once a week to vacuum our carpets. Recently, it began smoking from the vacuum motor and when I reached out to the local rainbow distributor about the product with a video of the issue I never received a reply.

    As a former dealer and customer I can assure you that ********************** is a scam they train to manipulate people when they go in their homes and trick people into these ridiculous contracts by telling them lie after lie. They even take the boxes so that it will be harder to return. One lady said the guy in the ******** office **** is a child molester and threatened her to keep it quiet

    Around the beginning of November last year (2022) my wife and I agreed to have a demo presentation for the rainbow vacuum system. I already have 1 but desired to get another 1 for our second floor to keep up there.I bought 1 and decided to join in the program that so many others joined including those on this complaint board the 12 showing and 2 sales program. I worked hard in booking the demos and showings. Around April of 2023 my wife's mom died and we had to deal with that tragedy. So when I got back home in here in ** I knew I had to finish my program which I did. I reached out to 1 of my reps ********** and sent in the information for my program via the app. Now about 4 weeks went by and I had been checking my emails to see the results but heard nothing. Finally I called **********-- and inquired about how long does it take for the verification process. He TEXTED me a screen shot of their response which I didn't get at all which said I had until June 4th to make up 2 unqualified demos and 1 sale. However I didn't get this information in time for me to do anything about it. Rainbow office did not have my right email address. Now I made my email address dummy proof for me as it's my whole name and Gmail.com. I gave them from the beginning the right email address but I did not get the information that ********** texted me because they had the wrong email address which is NOT MY FAULT. I communicated to ***** from the verification department and even she acknowledged and apologized for the email mix up but will not accept accountability that their office made the mistake and as a consequence I didn't get the info in time to rectify the the 3 issues. She even told me on her email that April 4 was my last day but the email that J-------- screenshoted me said I had until May 4. ***** and her office is deceptive and lied to me and once I sent her the screenshot text I got then she recanted a bit but it's too late. I would like to have the credit from 1 sale as a resolution then.

    We did not lose money we lost time. We were told we won an air purifier from a drawing at the county fair back in Sept 2022. They said they would deliver it because their sales man was going to be in the area anyway. Then we get told he has to give us a short presentation on their product first. So we listen to his speel for 2 hours trying to talk us into buying a huge vacuum we didn't need and couldn't afford. After he's done he tells us, "Oh the shipment was supposed to come in today and must have been running late" "Well ship one to you" That NEVER happened!!! Then we realized about 4 or 5 years ago we went through the same thing with this company. They lie and use deceptive practices!!!! 1) They lied and said we won an air purifier 2) They lied and said they didn't have any in stock 3) They lied and said they would ship one and never did. We want our air purifier we WON!!!!! Not just the one from this year but the other one too. When we set and listen for that long of time we deserve what we were told we would get. Don't lie to people in order to get sales that you pressured unsuspecting people into. Don't lie and tell them they're getting something free. The guy even had me post something on ******** that we were getting that air purifier just to con my friends into their gimmick!!!!

    7/16/2021 they came out to do a demonstration. We signed a contract stating that we had 90 days to return if we didn't want it with no penalty with ***********************. The agreement was ******* over 4 years with ******* in interest with an agreement they would send us a check for the first 6 payments because we told them we would not be able to afford it until march of 2022.They called early august stating the contract didn't go through and asked to come back out.8/2/2021 They had us sign a new contract saying we would still have our 90 days to return.The end of august we asked them to come get it we no longer wanted it due to it already breaking down. They then informed us that against what we were told that we only had 3 days to return it and it was stated in our new contract. They will not let us return it or take it off our credit. The delivery notice is dated for the day we originally signed the contract and with who. The original contract disappeared from my email after we signed the new one with a guy name ****** that came up with ******.

    Thank you for your inquiry in this specific customer, ****** & ******** ***. 

    We did in fact sell a Rainbow to this customer on 7/16/21. We had to redo the finance contract on 8/2/21 and as both parties can see on the contract that they sent you a copy of, they had 3 business days to cancel their transaction. Which they acknowledged with their signature. If they have documentation stating that they had ************************************************************************************* addition to this, we sent the customer a check in the amount of $399 which they cashed or deposited which they were going to use at their discretion to make their payments for November, December, January and February. We are not sure if that is what they used the money for. if they did, then obviously they would not have had to use money out of their own pocket to start making payments until March 2022. 

    Can the customer confirm that they did receive the check, and that they did deposit or cash this check?

    In addition to this, if this is a concern to the customer, why did they go from August to March (which is 7 months) before filling a complaint or contacting us further. Their desired settlement is billing adjustment, which they knew based on the contract, and the check they received, that they would have to start making payments out of their pocket in March. If they chose to use the Check the received from us to make the first 4 payments. We would be happy to contact the finance company to verify that they did make their payments on time.


    And their last request is no further contract from the company. we no longer have to contact this customer, all we are looking for is a resolution to everything we agreed to in writing. If the customer has different information to what we agreed to in writing we would be more than happy to honor that. 

    Please keep us advised as to what we can do to help this customer. 

    The customer has already attached a screenshot of the delivery receipt and contract that they signed.
