  • Rental car company Hertz has a slogan that says “rent the car, own the memory,” but some folks who live in the Atlanta area say their memories of renting from the company are ones they would rather forget. They all say they were charged with theft after Hertz incorrectly reported their rental cars as being stolen. Inside Edition’s Investigative team found people who say they were arrested, and even spent time in jail, after being accused of stealing rentals cars they properly paid for.

    Hertz did the same thing to me. A Georgia State Trooper pulled us over after signing on our new home after moving to Atlanta from Los Angeles. Hertz reported the vehicle stolen. Even the trooper believed me and verified I was telling the truth with Hertz. I was still charged with theft by conversion, sexually assaulted by a Dekalb officer at the jail, humiliated, deprived necessary medical care and food. This was after the trooper notified the judge that Hertz acknowledged their mistake to him. The judge demanded I be immediately brought over to the court. I was not. The judge sent the trooper to get me. The judge ordered me released immediately and said he would not be surprised if I sued Hertz. The jail still kept me anyway. Hertz never apologized and never even gave me my money back. I still have PTSD. And this happened in 2004 or 2005!!!!!

Any time a citizen has to prove himself innocent, that's a problem and goes against the bill of rights. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

      Yeah this isnt a "tiny " problem. After the first dozen they should have implemented a new system that doesn't allow there customers to be thrown in jail. Crazy that even with a receipt that one guy still spent half a year in jail, like how?

    Sue Hertz and don’t go for settlement! Falsely reporting for a stolen vehicle is equally as guilty as theft! If these clients don’t owe arrears as Hertz is claiming then they can use this as an intention to defraud in court!

    These people need to sue if they haven’t already. They deserve heavy compensation for being terrorized & wrongfully imprisoned.

      people think they can get away with anything these days. making a payment , signing a contract does not release you from the terms of that contract. politicians have encouraged this behavior and don't hold people responsible for their actions anymore.
