Shoplifting, Larceny, Robbery, Theft Ashley Furniture

My future son in law purchased furniture from Ashley Furniture. At the time he was making great money but, he did in store financing. It took around 9 months for him to receive the furniture and all of that time he continued to make payments while waiting for his furniture. He has been paying continually since he purchased the furniture and they admit that he has paid off the furniture but, now they say he still owes on the interest. They are saying he has to pay $800 by Friday or they are going to take the couches. I took in a payment for him and they were very rude to me. I am a teacher and I told them they could either take the payment or not take it. They told me they were going to file Felony Theft charges on him. He has been paying $650 a month. But, they say now he owes $3000 in interest.

I just want to know do they have a case can they file Felony Theft charges against him or are they just talking like most collection agencies?

IF what you say is true, they are talking out of their. . . butt.

Why did your son pay so long before even getting the furniture?

$3000 interest (There may also be penalties added in there)? What kind of furniture are we talking here? Is it magical? Is it a magic carpet one can fly on? Otherwise, $3000 interest is insane.

Is the interest amount possibly usurous? It seems more like the furniture store has violated a law as opposed to your son-in-law.

I also think there is more to this story . . .

Maybe ask your son-in-law for financial records related to the furniture as proof he's been paying, etc. Ask for the contract as well. You can tell him you need to know this so you can fight for him more effectively. . .
