    So I have been having someone sign up for credit in my name with Acima. I saw it today 9/14/25 that they have again used my information to acquire some more credit at another jewelry store. I wrote their fraud department about this and each time they have assured me everything is being handled but that is the third time this year and I have fraud alerts and have frozen my credit but they somehow still allow it to happen

    I recently purchased a computer through ACIMA. I have no idea how they got a business account that I do not own, but suddenly they started debiting charges to a business account. I never provided them with that account info and did not consent to the charge.

    We confirm that the payment method in question was provided to us directly on May 22, 2025 and was authorized as a primary payment method. We confirm we've refunded the payment amount per Ms. ****** request. The funds will be refunded back onto the card that was used to make the payment. This process can take 3-5 business days to reflect on the account. Ms. **** will need to contact our customer service department at 801-297-1982 in order to remove the card as a payment option to prevent the possibility of future payments. We encourage her to contact us directly at the number indicated above with any additional requests or questions.

    In March 2025, I purchased a ring from Diamonds Unlimited for $2,476. At the time of purchase, I was never informed that the payment would be processed through Acima financing. The store had also offered a layaway option, and since I had the funds available, I would have chosen that or simply paid the full amount upfront.

    Instead, I was told that the balance would be completely paid off by July 2025. However, to my surprise, payments continued to be withdrawn in August, and I later discovered that I now allegedly owe an additional $4,000 on top of the original purchase price.

    I returned to Diamonds Unlimited to resolve the issue, and the store manager contacted Acima directly. The manager stated this financing arrangement was not the intent of the store and requested that the payments be stopped. Despite this, Acima continued to pursue the account because I was $80 short.

    When I spoke with Acima myself, I was told they were “willing to settle” for an additional $1,000. When I indicated that I would escalate the matter to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and other consumer protection agencies, the service representative hung up on me.

    This situation is unacceptable. I was misled regarding the terms of purchase, improperly enrolled in financing I did not knowingly agree to, and treated unprofessionally when attempting to resolve the matter.

    I am requesting:
    1. Immediate termination of the Acima financing agreement.
    2. Confirmation that no further payments will be withdrawn.
    3. Any payment over the ring amount refunded

    Acima Leasing (hereinafter “we,” “us,” “our”) received the complaint filed by Ms. ******* ***** through the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) on September 7, 2025. We provide the following response. 
    Ms. ***** references communications she allegedly had with the retailer from whom she selected the Property. We note that Acima Leasing was not a present party to those communications. We note we sent emails to the email address Ms. ***** placed on her application for our services regarding her purchase options and payments made, as well as a welcome email at the start of her rent renewal schedule. We also note Ms. ***** elected to enter into the rental-purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) with Acima Leasing, and signed it on her own personal electronic device. We note Acima Leasing did our due diligence to ensure Ms. ***** was presented with the terms and conditions of the Agreement prior to her electing to sign it.  

    Upon review, we were concerned regarding Ms. *****’s claim of being unaware of the full leasing costs prior to electing to enter into the Agreement. Moreover, we require additional time to fully investigate the matters surrounding her claims of poor customer service on Acima Leasing’s part. As a courtesy, and as we wish to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution, we have elected to grant Ms. *****’s request and have closed her lease as purchased. We have additionally refunded the amount paid over the first early-purchase option amount, totaling $102.32 including tax, to the original method of payment. Ms. ***** has no further payment obligations to Acima Leasing.  

    We hope this resolution is satisfactory to Ms. *****. She may contact our customer service department at (801) 297-1982 with further questions or concerns.

    I received an email from Acima about a purchase made in the middle of the night. I immediately contacted Acima and explained that this transaction was FRAUD and I have not ordered any products. I proceeded to contact the company that received the purchase request and explained to them that it was FRAUD and asked them NOT to ship ANY products to anyone. I then proceeded to email Acima which is there process and explained this is FRAUD and not to proceed. Still to this day they are contacting me about a payment

    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 encourage Ms. ****** to file a police report and send a copy to ***************. Alternatively, Ms. ****** may provide us with a Federal Trade Commission Identity Theft Affidavit (“FTC Affidavit”) Upon receipt of the requested documentation, we will further investigate her allegation. If it is determined that this lease is, in fact fraudulent, we will take all necessary action. No further action will be taken while we await additional documentation.
