Company: ACIMA CREDIT, LLC
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
I ordered a bed from Acima leasing in the year XXXX. I never received the product and when I contacted them about not receiving it they said it showed delivered and I had to make the payments or they would press charges against me for non payment. I made a few payments but then I stopped making payments because it wasnt fair that I didnt have the product and I couldnt get their employees to listen to me. Today, XX/XX/XXXX I received a phone call from a scam number with a message leaving a different phone number and an account number. I called the number back and was told they were from Acima and that I owe them over {$900.00} and they are fixing to sue me and take my paycheck and my personal belongings and that they were coming after me for fraud. The only person committing fraud is this company. Trying to make me pay for something I never even received. I even offered to continue making monthly payments even though I did not get the product but they told me they had to have all of it TODAY or they were suing me and getting me arrested. They were very rude and unprofessional. I dont think I should pay for something I dont have but I was willing to make payments just so they wouldnt sue me or have me arrested. Please help. I dont know what to do at this point.

Complaint narrative:
I was utterly shocked and devastated upon discovering unauthorized credit inquiries and inaccurate personal information made without my knowledge or consent. Despite my efforts to seek clarification from the creditors, they have shamefully failed to provide the necessary information. I demand immediate action and transparency from the creditors. The creditors must provide detailed information on each inquiry, including dates, purposes, and types of credit products involved, furnish relevant application documents, and present evidence of explicit authorization for each inquiry. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about!

Complaint narrative:
I am disputing inaccuracies on my credit report and requesting the immediate removal of specific accounts and items. These inaccuracies include unauthorized negative entries, incorrect addresses, and hard inquiries reported without my consent. These actions violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act ( FACTA ), particularly 15 U.S.C. 1681c-2, which requires consumer reporting agencies to block or delete information reported without written consent. You have failed to ensure maximum possible accuracy, as required under 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ). The reporting of unauthorized data also breaches 15 U.S.C. 1681b, which governs permissible purposes for obtaining and reporting consumer data. The inaccuracies have caused harm to my creditworthiness, and despite providing documentation, these errors remain uncorrected.
