Acima Leasing, a subsidiary of Upbound Group (NASDAQ: UPBD), has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in the Eastern District of Texas. The lawsuit aims to stop what Acima claims is the CFPB's illegal attempt to expand its authority beyond federal law limitations and override existing state regulations for the lease-to-own industry.
Acima argues that the CFPB lacks statutory authority to bring enforcement action against it, as its flexible lease-to-own transactions do not qualify as credit, loans, or financing under relevant federal statutes. The company asserts that its transactions are already comprehensively regulated by state laws and that the CFPB's efforts conflict with these regulations.
The lawsuit follows a previously disclosed CFPB investigation of Acima that began before Upbound's acquisition in 2021. Acima maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and a strong net promoter score of 70 for returning customers, highlighting the value of its lease-to-own solutions.
