Pursuant to paragraph 3 of Ms. ******** rental-purchase agreement (the Agreement) with Acima, she could purchase the leased property at any time during the first 90 days of the Agreement by paying us $5,599.88 plus taxes. The total purchase price within the first 90 days including tax is $6,145.73. We reviewed Ms. ******** account and confirmed the correct tax rate is being collected. Further, ****************** has successfully made a payment of $10.84, initiated a one-time payment of $4,390.00, and a final payment of $1,744.89 to purchase the leased property under the 90-day early purchase option. Once the initiated payments have been successful, ownership of the leased property will be Ms. ******** and she will no longer have any payment obligation to Acima. If ****************** has further questions or concerns, she may contact our customer service department at **************.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because if their system would have been working right I wouldnt have had to make 3 payments I would have paid it all off that same night but they told me it wasnt working and Id have to call back on Monday to get it took care of which made me have a lease with them,So its their fault I couldnt pay the complete bill that night all it would let me pay was $10.84 so its their fault not mine so I shouldnt have had to pay all that leasing fee,
*************************Business Response

Any statements made by third parties do not constitute an agreement between ****************** and Acima. Nor can she reasonably rely on them to inform the Agreement. Indeed, paragraph 15 of the Agreement states, This Agreement represents the entire agreement between you and us.
We confirm that Acima conducted our due diligence by providing all pertinent information including a full copy of the Agreement prior to allowing ****************** sign. Acima was not a physically present party upon the commencement of the Agreement, but we intentionally provide numerous opportunities for our customers to view all the information regarding the terms of the Agreement, including the payment and purchase terms, prior to signing and officiating the Agreement. Additionally, Acima encourages customers who *** not wish to lease to consider other options. Pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Agreement, If you do not want to lease the Property but would rather purchase the Property now, you should consider cash or credit terms that *** be available to you.
As all the amounts were stated clearly and conspicuously, and ****************** had every opportunity to review them before she provided her signature, which confirmed that she understood and agreed to the terms and conditions therein. We further confirm we are unable to make changes to the agreed-upon leasing terms. Should ****************** have further questions, she *** contact our customer service department at **************.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because:
Sincerely,They are the people we talked to not a 3rd party its was a Acima Employee,We was on the phone that very nice and we told her we didnt want to pay the $10.84 we didnt want to use them for leasing at all all we wanted to do was to pay the Balance that very night but they refused to take the total payment and said we would have to wait and call back during the day,so we did and then they informed us again we couldnt pay the total amount that we had to pay those the app,Its there fault not ours and We never SIGNED ANYTHING FROM THEM SAYING SO BECAUSE WE DIDNT WANT TO USE THEM WE JUST WANTED TO PAY THE **** OFFAND NIT USE THE LEASING BUT THEY LIED TO US SAY WE WOULD NEED TO PAY JUST THE $10.84 so by lying to us they got just on a lease that we told them we had the money we didnt need them all we needed was to pay the bill in full that night but they lie,So they basically Robbed us of $595 by lying to us
*************************Business Response
Date: 07/02/2024
As stated in our first response, ****************** signed the Agreement wherein she agreed to pay the listed purchase price plus tax within the first 90 days, should she wish to obtain ownership of the leased property early. As such, we deny her allegations that Acima forced her to enter a lease. Rather, she voluntarily entered the Agreement. ****************** purchased the leased property on June 24, 2024, under the 90-day early purchase option, and we confirm she paid the correct amount in tax, $545.98. In the state of *********, ****************** is required to pay taxes.
Furthermore, we confirm we provided ****************** accurate information in stating that we were unable to take a payment in addition to the $10.00 initial payment that consummates the Agreement that night. Ms. ******** lease account was not yet onboarded onto our lease management system to allow for additional payments to be taken. However, we deny any implication that ****************** could avoid paying our leasing fees by paying that night.
As ****************** has obtained ownership of the leased property and we confirm she paid the correct amount we consider this matter closed.

I am rejecting this response because:
Sincerely, If you read what they wrote in this they agreed they couldnt take more money that night to pay it off completely which made me have to wait till the Tx week in order to pay it off,So they are the reason it was a lease agreement Not me so we tried to pay it in full because we didnt want a lease with them and we also never signed anything saying we wanted a lease because we had the money to pay it off in full so they lied and also commented Fraud by lying to us and not allowing us to pay it in full,So we want our $595 in leasing fees are we will report them to the Tennessee ************************** for Lying and Fraud in the state of ********* since they actually did business and Committed Fraud on a Tennessee Resident

I have been using Acima for over a year. Having a total of 7 leases with this company all paid within 90 days of making the purchase. I have never missed a payment installment in the course of me using Acima. In May 2024 I was apporved for 2500 with Acima. I ordered a product from Amazon which consisted of 1 27" inch monitor and 1 Geekom Mini **. for $700.00 I received the monitor without any tracking being provided. I called to inquire on the delivery of the ** and was told they had no information about the product being ordered. I called 2 additional times and was told they didn't have any information. I then placed another order through Best Buy with this company for a different ** since no one at this company knew where my merchandise was. 2 days after receiving my Best Buy computer, the original Geekom ** arrived. No email, no tracking nothing. I decided to return the Best buy ** since my original order arrived. Now I call and they tell me I am banned from using Acima because i returned merchandise. and it is irreversible. Why am I to pay for the companies incompetence? When does returning unused, never opened, merchandise warrant you to be banned from using a company? Never was there any notice that returning this merchandise would ban me from using services. I even spoke to multiple agents about returning the merchandise and none of them stated if i returned the merchandise I would no longer have access to my remaining approval amount. I have spent well over ***** with this company and still have 2 active leases that I pay faithfully.. I have literally called in over 10 times regarding this issueBusiness Response

Formal Complaint Regarding Acima's Mishandling of Lease Agreement I am filing a formal complaint against Acima regarding the rental-purchase agreement (#********) initiated on March 2nd, 2024, with **************** for the acquisition of a NEW ****** CUBAN LINK 14K necklace, ANILLO DISENO 14K ring, and DIJE LETRA E 14K pendant. My dissatisfaction arises from Acima's consistent failure to provide accurate and timely information throughout our transaction.From the outset, Acima neglected to disclose the crucial 7-day grace ****** for an early purchase option beyond the lease term when I contact them. This omission resulted in an unexpected charge of $1036 above the initial Acima Cash Price of $1,170.00, which includes a $70.00 markup over the retailer's invoice price. Despite my intention to exercise the early purchase option and promptly paying $964.67 towards this amount, Acima's inconsistent communication further complicated my understanding and decision-making process because even the manager of that department accepted that it was a mistake on their end .Additionally, my request for access to call recordings to substantiate these discrepancies was unjustly denied by Acima, severely hindering my ability to clarify the misinformation and inconsistencies encountered during our interactions. Currently, Acima insists on a total payment of $2,714.40 plus tax over an extended year-long contract, which exceeds reasonable expectations given the circumstances. Had I been adequately informed about the early purchase option's terms initially, I would have chosen to settle the remaining balance under the agreed-upon conditions.Moreover, uncertainty surrounding the return policy adds to my dissatisfaction. Despite seeking clarification on potential reimbursements for payments already made, I received conflicting responses, leaving me uncertain about the outcomes should I opt to return the items.Business Response

Acima Leasing (hereinafter we, us, our, Acima) received the complaint filed by *************************************** through the Better Business Bureau (BBB) on June 20, 2024. We reviewed her complaint and prepared the following response.
************** alleges she was not informed of a 7-day grace ****** for an early purchase option. Please note, Acima is not obligated to offer an extension of any early-purchase option pursuant to the rental-purchase agreement (the Agreement) she entered into. ************** had a first early-purchase option available to her through May 31, 2024. This option has since expired, and is no longer available. We confirm we consistently provided ************** with information regarding her first early-purchase option expiration date of May 31, 2024, via both email and during our phone communication with her.
************** alleges there was an unexpected charge added to her lease terms. This is not true. Acima disclosed the cost of leasing to ************** prior to her entering into the Agreement, and additionally provides access to an online customer portal which allows customers to see the status of their lease at any time, including current purchase options. The expiration of Ms. ****** first early-purchase option does not constitute an increase to her payment obligations or to the total amount necessary to obtain ownership of the property she selected.
************** alleges she received inconsistent communication, but does not specifically indicate what those inconsistencies are. We reviewed our communication with ************** and confirm she was provided accurate and timely information regarding her lease and purchase terms.
************** alleges Acima insists on a total payment of $2,714.40. This is not accurate. Currently, ************** may obtain ownership of the property for $991.21 before tax. ************** may utilize her second early-purchase option at any time by making a lump sum payment equal to 65% of any remaining rent renewal payments. This option is consistently available throughout the remainder of the Agreement. Please note, this amount is subject to change. Additionally, ************** is not obligated to purchase the property that is the subject matter of the Agreement. She may return the property to us at any time and terminate the Agreement. Additionally, in order to provide clarification regarding returns, the Agreement states, If you choose to return the Property thereafter, you must pay the unpaid Daily Lease Rate for the time you possess the Property, plus Other Charges due...Your Daily Lease Rate is $7.44."
If ************** wishes to explore her current purchase or termination options, she may contact our customer service department at **************.Initial Complaint

Im being taxed double.Leased item was taxed when item was purchased from merchant ( virtual card given by acima to pay)Now Im paying taxes again with acima to take ownership of item. In ********, the approach towards sales tax concerning rentals and leases of tangible personal property is different than in many other states. Broadly speaking, ******** does not levy a sales tax directly on the lease or rental payments for tangible personal property. Instead, the sales tax is applied to the lessors acquisition of the property. Consequently, the lessee doesn't directly pay sales tax on their lease payments. However, the lessor does have the right to seek reimbursement for the tax they have already paid from the lessee.Specifically, as per the Illinois Administrative Code, the sales tax is imposed on the property at the time the lessor acquires it. Once this tax has been paid by the lessor, the lessee's payments remain exempt from tax.In ********, regarding sales and use taxes on rentals and leases of tangible personal property, you typically do not pay taxes double. Heres why:Sales Tax on Lessors: When a lessor (the entity leasing out the property) acquires tangible personal property, Illinois imposes a sales tax on that acquisition. The lessor pays this tax upfront.Exemption for Lessees: The lessee (the entity leasing the property) does not directly pay sales tax on their lease payments. Once the lessor has paid the sales tax on the acquisition, the lease payments made by the lessee are generally exempt from additional sales tax.Business Response

I purchased a mattress and bed set from Ashley ********* using Acima. I was lied to in store regarding my account/payments and ********************** chat told me to they lied to me basically. I did not make payments because I did not have the money, AGAIN because I was told something different in store. Fast forward, I receive emails stating my lease has expired and that I would need to call to reinstate. Fine, I will when I can. I moved my RENT money to my bank account and lo and behold, Acima decided to reinstate my lease by themselves without permission basically and now Im looking at eviction. Yall can take the bed back at this point because it looks like in 30 days I wont have anywhere to place it. My bank has since put a stop to payments to Acima, and now I have to fight for a dispute because they decided to lie to my face in store and proceed to reinstate a lease without my knowledge.Business Response

I purchased a product and had agreement for a settlement amount, the settlement was emailed, the business took double the amount then canceled the contract to reinforce the previous contract. They made several attempts to take multiple amounts and failed to uphold their end of the agreement.

The total balance was $403.32 divided into 3 monthly payments of $******, my bank went over the agreement and sent the agreed payment of ****** and credited my account back. ********************** then tried to take $334 and $125 from the account but was unsuccessful as my bank canceled the card because of fraudulent activity by acima.

Complaint: 21832830
I am rejecting this response because: I upheld the terms of the agreement and Acima did not. They took more than the agreed amount a day later, when I disputed the amount they took, they canceled the agreement. My banking institution viewed the agreement and sent them the agreed amount and refunded me the difference, Acima then proceeded to initiate another ach payment of $125 June 3, 2024 in which it was declined. The three payments were May 27th, June 27th and July 29th. They sent an email after deducting double the amount, saying I authorized the overpayment in which I did not. I offered to send them the last two payments on the agreement dates via postal money order and they refused saying they must start a new agreement allowing them access to my banking account and or I give back the merchandise. They are not trustworthy and they had not documented the settlement agreement as representatives were still calling asking for balances exceeding $1000. I do have documents they exceed the limit and will not attach
