    I purchased a television on Amazon Extended Aisle through Acima.com on October 28, 2024. On July 4th, 2025, the television screen started flickering, displaying double images and 3/4 of the screen showed everything in a lime green hue. I reached out to Acima and they suggested I contact Amazon. I did. I gave Amazon the order number (I was able to find it in an email Acima sent me when I had issues with the television being delivered). The representative sent an email to confirm my identity, but I never received it. I asked her which email she sent it to. She said she couldn’t tell me, but if I could give her my email address, she could confirm whether it was correct or not. I have 5 email addresses. I gave her all of them. None of them matched. That prompted me to re-read the screenshot the Acima rep sent me last October. The purchaser is listed as Acima OPS…which means THEIR email address would have been used to complete the purchase, not mine. After multiple calls and emails to Acima, someone gave me a phone number to “Amazon Customer Service”. It turned out to be the phone number to TCL’s warranty department. After about 15 minutes of troubleshooting, the technician informed me that my television needed to be returned to them for further troubleshooting. He sent me an email requesting a video demonstrating the problem I reported, which I sent. He also requested a copy of my receipt, which I’m unable to provide because Acima made the purchase on my behalf. I sent the screenshot of the purchase that the Acima rep sent to me last October. The TCL technician responded a few days later to tell me the screenshot does not count as a receipt. He said he will keep my ticket open to allow me the opportunity to produce a receipt. I reached out to Acima again and they keep telling me to contact Amazon.

    I made a purchase using Acima with the intention of paying it off within the 90-day early purchase option. My 90-day period ended on June 27th, and I made a $350 payment on June 23rd. I also clearly communicated with a representative at that time that I would be making the remaining payment of approximately $1,300 by July 2nd to complete the early buyout. Unfortunately, it appears the representative failed to notate our conversation on the account.

    When I attempted to make the final payment on July 2nd, I was told I would have to pay over $3,000 because I was now considered outside the 90-day window—even though I had communicated my plan in advance. I was then told I had to settle the account, and I was informed I would never be allowed to use Acima again.

    I reached out to corporate, and a manager later contacted me stating the decision could be reversed if I paid an additional $165.00 plus taxes that same day. This came immediately after I had just paid $1,300—despite my buyout being quoted at $1,249.73 plus taxes. The manager told me to pay $1,371.50, which I did, but I still don’t understand where the additional $165.00 came from.

    I explained to the manager that I was unable to pay the extra $165.00 that day, and since then, I have received no confirmation of my $1,300 payment, nor anything stating that my furniture has been paid in full.

    Now I am being told my account is in collection status, and I am permanently barred from using Acima again, despite fulfilling my financial obligation within the 90-day timeframe. I was never late, never missed a payment, and clearly communicated my intentions.

    I applied for crediting with Acima. At first I was applied for $800.00. Due to the rep not putting my correct pay info in the app, the store canceled my app, and reapplied. When they reapplied it came back denied. The reason being unable to verify. This is not correct, I have tried to reach to to Acima customer service number and have not been able to get through. I chatted in and no one was any help

    Acima Leasing (hereinafter “we,” “us,” “our”) received the complaint filed by Mr. ******* ***** through the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) on July 7, 2025, regarding the lease purchase. We note that Mr. ***** is not the lessee of the lease in question, that is Ines Carmita Sigcha Yunga, however, we confirm that the lessee has provided authorization for us to discuss lease information with Mr. *****. We provide the following response.  

    Mr. ***** references the purchase payment that was initiated on December 3, 2024; he paid $930.47 which was “Today’s Purchase Amount.” We note as of that date, he had a catch up payment that was currently processing. Today’s Purchase Amount was the balance of this account minus the processing catch up payment. Both payments were necessary to purchase the lease, however, the catch up payment failed, and as such,  Mr. ***** did not meet the necessary requirements to purchase the lease within the First Early Purchase Option (FEPO) timeframe. The December 3, 2024, payment then prepaid the upcoming rent payments through May 1, 2025. We confirm the lessee was properly informed about the FEPO deadline, and had the lease been successfully purchased there would have been an email sent confirming lease purchase.  
    Mr. *****’ desired resolution is the lease being adjusted. We would like to work with him to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution. As such we are willing to extend the FEPO through July 25, 2025. As of today’s writing, the total rent paid is $958.65 before tax, and the FEPO amount as set forth at the initiation of the rental-purchase agreement is $1,223.86 before tax. If Mr. ***** pays the remaining amount of $265.21 plus applicable taxes to meet the FEPO amount, we will close the lease in good standing. We kindly request that Mr. ***** contact us directly at (**** ******** to take advantage of this offer. 

    If Mr. ***** has any questions we encourage him to contact our customer service department at the number indicated above.

    Business Response

    Date: 07/15/2025

    Mr. ***** references the purchase payment that was initiated on December 3, 2024; we confirm he paid $930.47 which was the remaining amount necessary to purchase his lease, provided all other rent payments cleared and were not charged back. We note as of that date, there was also a catch up payment that was currently processing. Both payments were necessary to purchase the lease, however, the catch up payment failed, and as such,  Mr. ***** did not meet the necessary requirements to purchase the lease within the First Early Purchase Option (FEPO) timeframe. The December 3, 2024, payment then prepaid the upcoming rent payments through May 1, 2025. 
    Mr. ***** may reference our prior response for the courtesy previously extended. We reject Mr. *****’ allegation that requesting payment according to the terms and conditions of the Agreement he elected to enter into qualifies as “extortion.” He may contact our customer service department at (**** ******** with further questions.

    I am rejecting this response because:
    the payments that was supposedly in process ,we were under the impression that it was already processed,is not on me that you system took long to process the payment that you claim ,since we was specific when we went to paid the whole amount that we wanted to pay in full and the agent at the time was asked if everything was paid off ,which she state that it was already paid ,the lady in the store who was managing Acima matters at the time is witness of that process, therefore I totally refuse to pay for the glitch in you system,this is a relentless practice from this company to gain profits ,as a said before it’s a predatory practice and unlawful ,if is a remaining balance we can get a decent agreement ,but I won’t accept the predatory arrangement that this company want me to take ,and if is a no reasonable outcome to this issue, I rather go forward and seek a lawyer and complain to FTC,since already I’m stress out in extreme for this matter ,I’m resilient to agree to a good outcome for this matter for instance I’ll wait until you next response ,to move forward for any outcome 
    Sincerely,




    ******* *****

    PS I would never,not even by mistake I want to use Acima to purchase anything again ,it’s a really stressful and nasty experience and the Acima team act in a condescending way

    I am writing to formally request that Acima immediately stop all debits from my bank account. I was recently charged an additional $335.00 without authorization. I do not owe this amount, and I have previously informed you that I am currently on medical leave and was already on a settlement agreement . There was an issue with my direct deposit with my leave , and the payment could not be processed, onne the deposit hit my agreed settlement amount was not processed but reqular payment, one I realized what happened I called in and was told that the payment that was processed would not apply towards the settlement. This was not fair, I adked for a manager and no one ever called back, I even sent emails , no response. As mentioned before the company has charged me and this should satisfy the original settlement agreement. I called back and now they want 599 as a new settlement and none of my previous payments will apply. I can't afford to lose money that I paid towards the original settlement agreement and since the company drafted the extra 300 I cover my medical expenses.


    I will also be disputing the charges with my bank.


    Based on our original settlement agreement, your organization should have already been paid in full.

    Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

    Ms. ***** claims she has not received a refund and that two further payments were attempted. Please note, Ms. ***** did not reach out to us directly to request no further debits. She submitted a BBB complaint on July 4, 2025, which is a federal holiday, followed by a weekend. Her requests were processed the first business day after the complaint was submitted, specifically Monday, July 7, 2025. The failed payment retries she references were attempted prior to our processing of her requests. Additionally, we confirm the refund was initiated on July 7, 2025, and is sent to the original payment method, a credit card ending in ****. It may between 3-10 days for the refund to be reflected, depending on Ms. ******* bank’s processing time.  
    Ms. ******* desired resolution is to be put back on a settlement plan. She may call our customer service department at (**** ********  to set up  a settlement plan at her convenience.

I am told I need to email someone but when I email it is a generic response. I was told to file a police report the police literally laughed in my face. This is too old and I have NO INFO the company will not provide any info. If I owed this money why was it not on my credit report. Seems like a scam

    This lease is no longer showing up on Ms. ****’s credit report as the 7 year limitation on reporting has been reached. This lease was created in February 2018, it is over 7 years old and was previously deleted due to age. If Ms. **** is unable to file a police report, our fraud department recommends filling out an Federal Trade Commission Identity Theft Affidavit, which may be simply completed only. She may then email the completed form to *************** so we can properly investigate the fraud claim. Proof is necessary to substantiate allegations of fraud and/or identity theft. 

    Further communication may be directed to our fraud department. As such we consider this complaint closed.

    I bought a couch had to pay it within 3 months, I paid it. Then they came back weeks later saying I didn’t pay the text of $60+ and because of that I have to pay $1700+ of interest and they’ve been taking out 100+ PER WEEK without my authorization! I’ve called their customer support more than 20 times each person is telling me an amount to just pay it off and it’s different every time! They are putting my account in the negative and overdrawing my bank account even after my bank put a stopped payment on them!

    Acima Leasing (hereinafter “we,” “us,” “our”) received the complaint filed by Ms. ****** ********* through the Better Business Bureau (“BBB”) on July 1, 2025, regarding her purchase options. We provide the following response. 

    Acima Leasing transactions are not financing, loans, or same as cash arrangements and do not contain interest. Acima Leasing is a rent-to-own organization offering an alternative option of financing.   

    On November 24, 2024, Ms. ********* entered an independent third-party retailer – Rooms To Go (the “Retailer”). While with the Retailer, she applied and was approved for our leasing services. On that same date, Ms. ********* selected a sectional (the “Property”). Acima Leasing purchased the Property, and Ms. ********* electronically entered into a rental-purchase agreement (the “Agreement”) wherein she agreed to rent the Property from Acima Leasing. Pursuant to the Agreement, to obtain ownership of the Property Mr. ********* could elect to make 52 weekly renewal payments of $87.84, plus an initial rent payment of $50.00, for a total of $4,568.29 (the “Total of Payments”). Alternatively, he could execute any other early purchase or termination option outlined within the Agreement.    

    Ms. ********* claims “[she has] to pay $1700 of interest.” This is not correct We note that the Agreement does not have interest. The Total of Payments was set at the initiation of the Agreement, and did not change throughout the course of her Agreement. 
    Ms. *********’s rental-purchase agreement details two Early Purchase Options (“EPO”); each of which reduces the cost of ownership to the customer and terminates the Agreement earlier than the 12-month rental period contained within. The first EPO ********* is a 100-day EPO where a customer can obtain ownership of the Property within the first 100 days of the Agreement by paying the disclosed purchase amount. Ms. ********* had a 100-day EPO purchase amount of $2,242.94 before tax which expired on March 20, 2025. Ms. ********* did not meet that total as of the deadline, so her lease continued for the agreed-upon terms. which we show that she did open the sent emails, as well as view the amount needed to purchase the Property. Additionally, Ms. ********* was also provided a link to Acima Leasing’s customer portal, located at customer.acima.com/, where she could log in to view a copy of the Agreement at any time, view the status of her lease, and make payments. 

    Ms. ********* may also continue her regular rent renewal payments and obtain ownership after the completion of all rent renewal payments. The second EPO stipulates a customer may obtain ownership at any point after the first 100 days by paying a lump sum payment equivalent to 65% of any remaining renewal payments plus any past-due rent. This option is still available to Ms. ********* and will be until the end of the lease term. Alternatively, if Ms. ********* does not wish to execute a purchase option outlined in the Agreement, she may terminate the Agreement at any time and without penalty by returning the Property to Acima Leasing in accordance with our directions 
    .We hope this explanation clarifies the payoff terms of Ms. *********’s Agreement and her responsibilities thereunder. If Ms. ********* has any questions or wishes to explore purchase, or termination options that are available to her, we encourage her to contact our customer service department at ***** ********.

    My bank flagged this company as fraud
    They take my money out whenever they want to although I have everything set up to come out on Friday, I have to call every two weeks because they take two payments out on a Friday, then look up on a Monday,Tuesday,or any other day except Friday my payment is coming out. They are rude and try to fast talk you. They took my money out early messing my account up and not giving one damn. This was one of my worst mistakes.
