Acima - Fraud and scam company
I purchased mattresses from Wayfair. I got an email confirming they were delivered, but they were not. I tried to contact Wayfair to no avail. I tried to contact Acima but all their contact info doesn't work. I ended up disputing the charges with my bank and stop payment but they used something called a digital wallet and were able to bypass the stop. I...

We looked up Acima and found that the website is receiving a high amount of traffic. This could be a sign of a popular and trustworthy website, but it is still important to exercise caution and verify the legitimacy of the site before sharing any personal or financial information
However ComplaintsBoard has detected that:

Customers may face long wait times for responses, receive generic or unhelpful answers or no response at all. Only 27% of 1 complaints were resolved.

I got an email saying I was still getting money...
Read full review of AcimaRing
I went to a jewelers store and purchased a ring for $1500. Now that my 3 months is up I went to the portal to pay it off before any interests accumulates and I come to find out about these extra fees that I was not aware of because no one told us about it at the time of purchase and signing the contract . Very upsetting how they just like to take money from people without an actual explanation just that it’s extra fees and that’s ir. Would never purchase anything with them again. And I 0% recommend to anyone unless they want to get robbed like I did. They do not want to help me at all with all of those supposed fees even though I told them I didn’t know about them. Horrible company!
Cheap furniture fraudulent policy
They literally charged me for a 12 month payment a day earlier than stated. Own I am stuck over paying for this cheap furniture. They have ruined my credit they are liars and banned in multiple states. I am seeking legal help to have them remove any marks from credit and will be working to shut them down no.lm stop until I succeed these companies must be stopped.
Desired outcome: I want this expunged from my record and I will not return this furniture
Acima loans
I never heard of this company in my life and received a charge for 560 this morning August 1st, 2023. I tried calling them and they want bank statements and police reports. I will be filing a dispute with my bank tomorrow. Really inconvenient and illegal on their part. Shame on Acima! They let somebody else use my bank information on somebody elses loan contract. They pry for other personal information like bank statements.
Read full review of AcimaApp issues, failed orders, slow to refund downpayment
Their app is basically worthless in colorado due to it not taking into account the .27/.28 cent delivery fee that colorado charges. Orders will fail, in store processing is typically not allowed, They say it is 7-10 days for a refund, then they will tell you its 14, not after 21 days I am told that the retailer who canceled the order within moments and did...
Read full review of AcimaCustomer Service/Access to my own account
Acima created my account with an incorrect social security number, therefore I never have access to my own account. When I called to correct it they said only if I send a photo of my card with an ID. I told them I am not comfortable sending to a random email this info due to identity theft. They said sorry then we can’t help you. But they still collect my money.
Desired outcome: None at all.
Identity theft
Someone had used my bank account information to open an account at Acima. I called them immediately after receiving the first email from them about my new account which I never applied for. I told them about my bank account info was being compromised and used to open an account with them. They told me that they really scrutinize the application for credit...
Read full review of Acima and 2 commentsPaid off and they are still charging
I use Acima all the time. I always pay it off in the 3 months time period so interest isn't added on because that's really where they collect their money. I bought a fridge for my restaurant. I paid off the balance it said was due today to close my lease. Now I'm getting calls because apparently they didn't get 40 so that caused them to reopen my account without my knowledge and charge me the interest and mess up my credit for non payment.
Desired outcome: I want my account closed and missed payments fixed on my credit put back in good standing as I already paid this off well in the time frame given.

Read full review of AcimaLiars, false contract and scammers.
Worst company ever. Openly admitted they were scamming us. Gave us a run around and cannot answer any of our questions or a resolution despite us having screenshots. I canceled our other purchase and cannot wait to be done with them. Oh by the way their reps reaching out to try and fix resolutions is a joke. All they do is sit and repeat themselves like a robot “I am not able to see previous buy out information” sure you aren’t buddy. Also their contract doesn’t reflect what they’re charging. Joke of a company.
Desired outcome: Honor the buy out.
Predatory Lending
They used to be a very good company. I’ve used them over 5 times. Now they are really becoming a predatory lending place. The fees that are on the actual contract is not the fees they tell you what’s owed. On my lease my buyout was $498.00. But they’ve charging me $600. One rep says that they tax on the buyout now & chatge additional $50.00 when you you do 90 day purchase option. None of this is on my lease agreement. BUYERS BE VERY AWARE OF THE SCAMMERS. NEVER AGAIN WILL I USE THESE CROOKS
Desired outcome: I want To pay what’s on my agreement

Desired outcome: I was my money returned to me my name is Stephanie montano
Product/Service
The representative who convinced us to go with go with Acima left out plenty of details. Not only did he fail to explain correctly but he misled us with what we were signing in term of an agreement. Not sure if I need to seek out my lawyers advice but this is extremely shady.
Purchased a ring for 1400 through a jeweler. Funny thing is, I had the money in full ready to go. The jeweler explain to me there’s a company called Acima that would save you the $1400 and would allow you to pay the balance of $1400 down over the span of 12 months.
Well, not only was he deceiving but he got us to sign without mention anything nor with us signing an actual contract stating that that grand total would actual come to $3,484.16
I need answer as to why these representatives of the company are misleading and lying to customers?
Acima, I need answer!
Desired outcome: I need this set to the original amount stated or else I’ll seek out an attorney. Also we captured the entire recording on video when the jeweler was explaining.
Car repairs
On December 7th, 2022, I had repairs done on my car, the price of the repairs were $439.39. Acima had listed the lease amount as $489.39 and still have not received a copy of the lease agreement. I have requested a copy a number of times but to no avail. I was finally able to view the agreement and that's when I found out I was being charged more for than for the services received. I have been communicating by phone over the past two months trying to understand why their 90-day payoff total was so different from mine as they didn't match my payments they never once gave me the same answer.
Was told the pay-off didn't reflect a pending payment by one person and told by another that it did. When I finally was able to get online the pay-off amount was always different always higher never lower even after a payment was made. I beginning to feel like they run a fraudulent business and that I've been taken advantage of. When my heater in my car stopped working in December and having been out on an unpaid medical leave since October I needed to use their services. Let the buyer beware of their business practices!
Desired outcome: Honest answers to the questions I have, a copy of lease agreement and a response before my 90-day prepayment is due March 7th thank you
