Product: Debt or credit management

I made many payments to Self to assist with repairing my credit. They hold onto MY OWN money, & report it as a loan. After paying over {$300.00} to Self, being charged fees along the way, all to hold MY OWN MONEY, my family was forced to move and I became unable to pay. Self closed my account in XX/XX/XXXX. They continued to HOLD my OWN MONEY, ignoring the instant payout selection I had made. They closed my account in MAY, but CONTINUED CHARGING ME {$15.00} x 7+ MONTHS for interest and late fees ALL THE WHILE STILL HOLDING MY MONEY AND REPORTING NEGATIVE/LATE PAYMENTS TO MY CREDIT! If thats not absolute crazy enough, SELF took {$100.00} from MY MONEY that they were holding, and PAID the SECURE credit card I held with them. SECURE CARD means I, again, supplied that money, to use MY OWN MONEY as an allowance on a card. Yet they still took my own money, from the other account which held my own money, to PAY the SECURE card. This is absolutely UNREAL. NOW they claim I owe THEM, and have reported to credit a past due of {$180.00}. IN SUMMARY, I have paid Self, a total of {$370.00}. Upon account close, ZERO of my money was returned to me, as promised. Although the account was closed, and they were holding my funds, self continued charging me $ XXXX ongoing, while reporting negatively to my credit, again, while still holding my {$370.00}. They allowed the late and interest fees build up to exceed my paid in amount before sending me off to collections for this absolutely ABSURD. Let me be clear I paid {$370.00} to them, and got nothing but negative credit. ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS. Due to Selfs unprofessional and predatory processes and blatant disregard for the importance of responsible credit reporting -- I DEMAND PROMPT REFUND for ALL I have paid into this QUESTIONABLE, ( this even legal? ) service. For {$

370.00}, they provided me with NOTHING BUT NEGATIVE CREDIT and a SWIFTLY DROPPING CREDIT SCORE. Ill be contacting the CFPB if I dont receive my demanded result, and QUICK. Desired Outcome/Settlement Desired Settlement : Other ( requires explanation ) R
efund my payments in full - total : {$370.00} in full to the card on file and remove account ( XXXX ) from my credit profiles IMMEDIATELY. 

I submitted this information to the XXXX, and have included that info here below.
