Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: CA
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 SELFINC/LEAD 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, some of my payments 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 those payments 30/60 days late on a few occasions during the course of my situation, but 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 those late marks on my credit reports have become detrimental. I am trying to apply for a new job, but the negative remarks are hurting my efforts. 
The credit bureaus have advised me that they will report anything as instructed by you, but they need to have that instruction in writing. I am pleading with you to help me and take into consideration how good of a customer I have been and how long I have had an account with you.

State: SC

Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report
Sub-issue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Complaint:
To Whom It May Concern : The goal in the headline of the letter is always to setup a situation where the burden of proof relies on the consumer reporting agency ( Credit Bureau ). You do not want to make a specific claim about a specific account in the first-round investigation request letter. The reasoning for this is called factual disputing methodology. Making a claim of Not Mine or Never had account when the account is yours invalidates the claim if it is in fact yours. Write as if you are a consumer without the fancy jargon in this round to prevent it being misinterpreted as coming from a credit repair company.

You cant go wrong with quoting 15 U.S.C. Sec. 1681i, since it is very broad and covers Procedures in case of disputed accuracy. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( B ), and 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( C ) covers the general investigation overview, the extension of the period to reinvestigate, and the limitations on extension of the period to investigate, while 1681i ( a ) ( 2 ) covers the promptness in how the bureaus must handle the notifications. 1681i ( a ) ( 3 ) covers if and how the bureaus can determine if a dispute is frivolous or irrelevant, all the way to 1681i ( f ) ( 3 ) where it governs how a CRA notifies a consumer through a reseller ( XXXX XXXX ) ( XXXX  ) and others who furnish third party disputes free of charge, etc. 

Collection Account : XXXX XXXX XXXX Account Number : XXXX Please investigate if every piece of information is correct. If not, please remove it from my credit report.

Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
I was under an Ally Auto, Loan Agreed Payment Arrangements Ref # XXXX. My payment, and payment date was altered from the original contract. I have NOT been late on my payments, and furthermore met all the agreement terms as instructed by Ally in their correspondence. I faithfully paid my auto loan monthly. Checking my bank records, they take over a week to process my mailed in check thus making it appear I am late. 
I have tried paying Ally Auto, electronically, by check in the mail, and before the due date the 30th of each month. Reviewing my bank records, it is clear Ally Received my payments on time. 

I have had nothing but trouble with Ally Auto, from the very beginning of the loan. Reviewing on line complaint organizations, Ally Auto, is number one in customer complaints, and notorious in charging various miscellaneous late fees and extra charges. 

I have written, called and even wrote their customer complaint depart, with no results, just more billings of extra late fees, and charges. This is consumer abuse in its ugliest form. 

Please, someone help me with the beast Ally Auto. I have paid them faithfully every month, but due to their accounts payable system, the checks I send in advance take over a week to clear my account. I do not have any other problem with my routine monthly bills for other accounts, just Ally Auto. 

Here is my payment record for the last eight months which is taken from my bank records : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment Please note, that they always take over a week to process my check, thus applying a late fee, upon the delayed deposit for payment in my bank. I send the check well in advance of the due date, allowing time for the mail to deliver the check to them. 

Now Ally Auto is claiming that I missed the last two payments in XXXX and XXXX or this year. They are demanding {$1800.00}, in past due payments, late fees and charges. Please help.

Complaint:
I got my school refund on my XXXX   account. I had a new card ordered and had not gotten it yet. And I needed the money, so I sent it to my brothers XXXX  account. He then sent it to my Venmo account because I had that card. ALL of my transactions were getting declined, except a couple that went through. So I sent the money back to my brother, and ask him to try the transactions and to try to withdrawal from his Venmo. Same problem. So we contacted their chat team about it and we had recently moved so we figured it was happening because we moved to a different state. We called about it a couple times. And they ended up freezing our accounts! They asked us to send pictures of our State IDs or Drivers licenses to prove our identity. We did that. I also sent the a picture of our lease to update our new address. They told me that I went against their user agreement and that my account was being permanently closed and that they were investigating my money for up to 180 days to see if they can give me MY money back! I sent them pictures of my accounts showing what I did. And I also kept the chat transcripts and email communications with the company. No luck at all. And they wont tell me how I violated the user agreement! I need my money! I have kids and bills to pay and I cant now.
