Consumer Narrative

Complaint No : XXXX Lease No : XXXX Acima Credit is falsely presenting themselves as the original creditor in this leasing agreement and the debt is being incurred from XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is in response to the statement that Acima does not identify as the original " creditor '' or that " consumer credit transactions '' does not apply to them. Well the credit was extended to me so someone has to the be the original creditor in this agreement. I am pointing out XXXX XXXX XXXX as as the original creditor for this Acima leasing agreement because of the signature I see signed from the original lease agreement through a XXXX representative. Also because of the notion that Acima is saying consumer credit transactions don't apply to them and they are not the original creditor. I am filing a complaint to both companies for failing to disclose in the original leasing agreement that the debt is in fact incurring from XXXX XXXX XXXX and using false pretenses to hide the fact XXXX XXXX XXXX is the original creditor in this leasing agreement under the Acima name. ADDITIONALLY, I'd like to defer the federal violations from the previous complaint to Acima to XXXX XXXX XXXX as they are identified as the original creditor of this lease agreement. If I have reason to believe XXXX XXXX XXXX is in violation of several consumer credit protection laws under 15 U.S. Code Chapter 41. More specifically the laws listed under 15 U.S. Code 1605. In the original leasing agreement with Acima Credit ( or XXXX XXXX XXXX, the company states that there is a loan processing fee of {$20.00} for processing and preparing documents for the lease. This is in direct violation of 15 U.S. Code 1605 ( e ) ( 2 ) which states that, items exempted from computation of finance charge in extensions of credit secured by an interest in real property SHALL NOT include fees for preparation of loan-related documents. The {$20.00} charge from Acima ( or XXXX XXXX XXXX ) is evidence of this violation. Moreover, 15 U.S. Code 1605 ( f ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that credit transactions not under an open-ended credit plan secured by real property shall not be treated as accurate if the amount disclosed in the finance charge varies by more than {$100.00} of the original finance charge. The cost of payment in the original leasing agreement shows that this varies by more than {$100.00} from the cost of the amount of credit that was extended to purchase the real property. This also violates 15 U.S. Code 1605 ( f ) ( 2 ) ( A ) which states that the amount disclosed as the finance charge should not vary from the actual finance charge by more than an amount equal to one-half of XXXX percent of the total amount of credit extended.
