Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: SC
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I was advised to write to you by your customer service department concerning my credit rating with your company. I have enjoyed a credit account with you for many years. During the course of our business association, I have honored and respected my account agreement to the fullest. I appreciate how wonderful your service has always been. 

Unfortunately, I was in a financial dilemma due to job loss. As a result, my payment to you were delayed. Because your account with me is extremely important I managed to borrow the money to cover the late payments. I made sure to fulfill my obligation to ensure that your company suffered no loss. 

I am thankful and appreciative for the years of positive credit history that I have obtained through your company but now the late marks dated on my credit reports are causing me tremendous stress. I am trying to move up to a better paid position at my work, but the negative remarks are hurting my efforts. 

This is where my " Goodwill Request '' comes in. I desperately need this promotion and I would be extremely appreciative if you would please complete a UDF - Universal Data Form and send it to the credit bureaus to reflect paid on time " never late ''. 

The credit bureaus have advised me that they will report anything as instructed to by you, but they need to have that instruction in writing. I will place my account on auto pay and promise to make all payments on time in the future. 

I beg that you may help me and take into consideration how good of a customer I have been and how long I have had an account with you. My family very much needs this to pay for medical care that we desperately need. I hope you can find it in your heart to help us.

Complaint:
I have a current loan with Fortiva. 
I am not in collections! 
I fell behind one month and this Hindu lady calls before XXXX 3 times during the week and today I had it. 
She also calls with an unknown number so she can hide her identity/whos calling. Then proceeds to threaten to damage my credit by reporting that I am late etc. 
I think she does gets a kick out of it. 
Fortiva really need to take responsibility for who they have working for them. This lady is not aware or perhaps dont care to follow the basic rules of engagement and that we have rights. Its Fortiva whom she represents! 

Plus they electrically present the amount due to my bank/my account to deduct money even when I unchecked the authorization box in the website causing return check fees against my account depleting my funds which can snowball into other financial issues. They present several times at random dates. This is serious predatory behavior. 
You dont go under someones bank account to draft money when your company is no longer authorized. 
Please help! I cant start my day like this morning. I lost it today.

I demanded that the agency cease and desist of this activity as soon as possible within fifteen ( 15 ) days from your receipt of this Notice.

Thank you. Discover account ending in XXXX. Closed XX/XX/XXXX. Also, the account is inaccurately reporting that it was closed in XXXX, XXXX which is also illegal. This account was closed in XXXX with a {$0.00} balance. All of a sudden the account is reappearing 6 months later with a balance of {$2300.00} which is false. This account was paid off at closing. I have 2 other accounts with Discover in which I opened myself 4 years ago and I was making payments to this account as well which I was unaware of.
