      Good morning so it seems that this company tried to fraudulently charge my card after this account should have already been closed so I need to know why instead of trying to charge me another 5350 you should technically have been refunding me 5350 as when I originally applied for your service I was told it was denied due to the fact that you guys do not lease the item that I bought so I ended up paying cash for it so therefore I should not have an account with you and you should not have my card on file.. I need answers right away

      Ms. ****** ****** alleges identity theft. We conducted a preliminary investigation into Ms. ******* fraud allegation. Acima Leasing takes fraud allegations very seriously and conducts immediate investigations upon notification. Upon completing our investigation, we were unable to determine whether the lease in question was created as a result of fraud. We request Ms. ****** file a police report and provide us with a full and complete copy of the same so we may continue our investigation of this lease. We request they send a copy of the police report, which must include Acima Leasing as an affected lease, to ******************************* Or, Ms. ****** may provide us with a ************************ Identity Theft Affidavit (FTC Affidavit). Upon receipt of the requested documentation, we will further investigate. If it is determined that this lease is in fact fraudulent, we will terminate this lease and remove all reporting of it from the credit bureau. Absent additional information, we are unable to make a determination as to whether fraud occurred on this lease.  

      As we are awaiting additional documentation, we consider this complaint closed. Ms. ****** may contact Acima Leasings customer service at ************** with any additional questions.

      On March 7, 2024 we purchased a reclining sofa at ***** discount furniture using Acima Leasing. Our payments were made 2 x a month automatically withdrawn. On August 2nd I paid off the furniture lease with a payment of $1059.99, I did this on app. I had called prior to find out the payment amount to pay off and paid it in full. On Saturday Jan 4t I received a call regarding lease. I called back on Monday 1/6/2025 to find out that they took the payment of $1059.99 and used it against future payments though the rest of the year and I am now expected to continue paying the lease. I explained multiple times to supervisors it was a purchase pay off on August 2nd 2024 and the lease is paid in full. They said I must have made an error when processing it because it is not marked as paid and I owe 16 more payments for an additional $1632.00. They are not willing to close the account due to the "error " they state which is not my fault their computer is not marked correctly. My only other option is to return the furniture and lose the $2,128.41 I have already paid them or pay the additional $1632 which would mean I would be paying $3630 for a recliner that was originally $1198.00, that is more then double. they will not correct their error on the site and will not do anything to correct this issue. My furniture is scheduled to be picked up on 2/28/2025 unless they mark this paid in full with zero owed as it should have been done on August 2nd. They also pulled my lease information off the website now so I cannot access my records to attach the lease to this report. This was their error- I followed what I was told to do to pay off my lease. They failed to follow up. No phone calls or contact was made at any time to use my money as future payments.

      Acima Leasing (hereinafter referred to as “we,” “us,” or “our”) acknowledges receipt of the complaint filed by Ms. **** **** through the Better Business Bureau (the “BBB”) on January 11, 2025. Upon thorough investigation, we have prepared the following response. 
      Ms. **** claims that she has purchased her lease. This claim is inaccurate. According to her lease-purchase agreement (the “Agreement”), she had the option to purchase the leased property from Acima Leasing by making 36 biweekly renewal payments of $91.40 before tax. Alternatively, she could exercise an early purchase option (EPO) or terminate the lease as outlined in the Agreement. The first EPO, known as the 90-Day EPO, allowed her to purchase the leased property within the first 90 days by paying $1,729.78 before tax. This option expired on July 5, 2024. 
      Ms. **** alleges that she contacted us before August 2, 2024, to inquire about the purchase amount. However, we have no record of such a conversation. Ms. **** made a one-time payment of $1,059.99 on August 2, 2024, which did not close the lease because the EPO had expired on July 5, 2024. This payment pre-paid the renewal payments until December 16, 2024. 
      Ms. ****** request for a billing adjustment or refund cannot be honored. Ms. **** has already elected to return the merchandise to Acima on January 10, 2025. Therefore, we consider this matter closed. Ms. **** may contact our resolutions department at ***** ******** with any additional questions.  

      Customer Answer

      Date: 01/16/2025


      Complaint: ********
      I made a payment of $1,059.99 to Acima after contacting your company to obtain the payoff amount. I would not randomly make a payment of such a specific amount without being advised by someone at Acima. This amount is notably irregular and has prompted this complaint. This was explained to Rene the supervisor when I called on Jan 10th when this was first discovered. At that time I was able to pull up my lease on the app and able to see that the total to be paid based on the original lease was $3500,00(Not exact amount) Rene also advised me that Acima has "other options" if this was not sorted out. 
      Additionally, I am currently unable to view my lease details on your site, which are blocked from my access. According to my records, we paid $1,198 for the furniture, $149.00 for the 5-year protection plan, and $179.00 for delivery, totaling $1,527.8. To date, we have paid $2,128.41 to Acima.
      Given these figures, I have already paid $600.61 more than the total cost of the leased items. Therefore, I am open to keeping the furniture if Acima agrees to close the lease as paid in full. Should Acima not be willing to close the lease under these conditions, we will return the furniture. In such a case, I request a refund of the $149.00 paid for the 5-year protection plan and the overpayment of $600.61.
      Furthermore, I would like to highlight that I followed the instructions provided to me in August regarding my payment. Acima's record-keeping issues are beyond my control. As a consumer, I expect a reputable company like Acima to collaborate with customers on resolving such matters. I was not informed that the $1,059.99 payment would be applied as future payments, and there was no agreement regarding this. I should have been informed and given the choice.
      I also request a copy of the lease agreement and details on the length of time the furniture will be held for reinstatement should I decide to continue the lease at a later date.  Acima is not the only party at risk of losing money. I risk losing the full $2,128.41 if this matter is not resolved as paid in full while retaining the furniture.
      I look forward to your prompt response and resolution to this issue. Thank you for your attention to this matter.. 

      Sincerely,
      **** ****

      The company claims that I took out a phone with them when I have never taken out a phone in payments with them. They have been trying to collect this debt for over a year now. I have gotten calls of people impersonating government officials saying that I will be sent to court or I could be charged for fraud. This debt is not mine.

      Acima drafted an account that I revoked ACH authorization for over a month ago. ACIMA DOES NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO CHARGE MY ACCOUNT ending in ******************************** 4833. This payment method was removed and was not to be charged any longer. I can provide Acima with an updated payment method, but someone needs to contact me and refund the amount charged ($122.63) on 1/6/25 as no permission was given to do so.

      Acima Leasing (hereinafter we, us, our and Acima) received the complaint filed by Ms. ****** **** through the Better Business Bureau on January 6, 2025. After reviewing Ms. **** complaint, we confirm that Ms. **** did, in fact, provide the debit card ending in 4833 as a valid method of payment. Pursuant to the rental-purchase agreement (the Agreement) Acima Leasing is authorized to attempt rent payments from any payment method provided to us for such purpose. Ms. ***** prior renewal payments failed, as such our system automatically attempted the January 3, 2025, renewal payment from the secondary payment method. We have attempted to contact Ms. **** multiple times regarding her past-due status, but as of todays writing Ms. **** has not responded to our call attempts. Ms. **** may contact our customer service department by phone at ************** to make any changes to her payment method, and discuss options currently available to her. Ms. **** may also log onto our customer portal at ***************************************** to view the status of her lease, make payments, and add payment methods.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Yes, I originally provided the payment method used. However, I provided an updated payment method and asked that the debit card ending in 4833 be completely removed. You all cannot take it upon yourselves to store payment information that a customer has asked to be removed from the account. Once again, I am explicitly stating that you all do not have permission to charge the debit card ending in 4833 or the account number ending in 4289. My next step is contacting the CFPB.


      Sincerely,

      ****** ****

      Pursuant to our records, the card ending in 4833 has been deleted. Additionally, we confirm we do not have any record or history of a payment method ending in 4289 associated with Ms. ***** lease. She may contact us at ************** with further questions.
