Complaint:
I am XXXX XXXX and I'm submitting this complaint myself and THERE IS NO THIRD PARTY INVOLVED. 
ATTN : XXXX XXXX, CEO/SELF FINANCIAL , INC .

I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT I AM BEING EXTORTED BY YOUR COMPANY I, XXXX XXXX, consumer, natural person, and the original creditor of an open-end credit plan, am a victim of identity theft pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( Q ) ( 3 ) under the FCRA. I have filed an identity theft report pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( Q ) ( 4 ). SELF FINANCIAL, INC. d/b/a SELF, INC. has furnished false and misleading late payments to Account : XXXX as a way to coerce me to make on time payments. It is my belief that SELF FINANCIAL, INC. has been committing theft by deception. It is my belief that furnishing late payments without my lawful authority as a matter ruin my financial reputation constitutes extortion in accordance with 25 CFR 11.417. Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1666b ( a ), A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose. Congress has made it clear that each financial institution has an affirmative and continuing obligation to respect the privacy of its customers and to protect the security and confidentiality of those customers nonpublic personal information. SELF FINANCIAL , INC. 's failure to maintain the integrity of my nonpublic information has caused me substantial harm and inconvenience to my financial reputation due to fraud and identity theft. Congress has stated that unfair credit reporting undermines public confidence which congress has made clear, is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. SELF FINANCIAL , INC. has taken adverse action against me, with forethought and malice, by furnishing inaccurate and knowingly false late payments to my consumer report without my lawful authority. This adverse action as defined under 12 CFR 1002.2 ( c ) ( 1 ) ( i ), which has the same definition as 15 U.S. Code 1691 ( d ) ( 6 ), has negatively affected my ability to extend credit and operate in commerce. Congress makes it clear that causing a restraint of trade or conspiring to cause a restraint of trade, pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1, is declared to be illegal to and carries both civil and criminal penalties. My right to privacy and my right to know where and how to direct the disclosure of my nonpublic information in accordance with 15 U.S. Code 6801 ( a ) of the Gramm-Leach Bliley Financial Protection Act, has been violated. I am aware that not excluding transactions between, I, the consumer, and the creditor is a violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( A ) ( i ). The consumer reporting agencies were not exercising their grave responsibility in respect to impartiality when furnishing this false and misleading information to my consumer report. Reasonable procedures were not taken to insure the accuracy of the information given by SELF FINANCIAL , INC. before furnishing it. This shows that the consumer reporting agencies have shown bias towards me because I never gave my lawful authority for any consumer reporting agency nor SELF FINANCIAL, INC. to furnish any late payments to my consumer report. It is my belief that due to your business relationship with consumer reporting agencies, such as XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, they parrot the information given to them by SELF FINANCIAL , INC. as a means of coercing consumers to pay debts that they allegedly owe. It is my belief that SELF FINANCIAL, INC. has been using unlawful extortionate means, as defined by 18 U.S. Code 891, with forethought and malice to bring harm to me and my financial reputation. As defined in Title 18 U.S. Code 1961, knowingly, intentionally, with forethought and malice have been sending dividends but, in fact, making me believe that dividends were an invoice for services provided by SELF FINANCIAL , INC., which is embezzlement, theft by deception and extortion. Extortion, dealing in an obscene manner, and theft by deception all constitute XXXX XXXX. If found guilty, XXXX XXXX carries a criminal penalty of 20 years to life in prison. I am aware, that, in accordance with 16 C.F.R. 433.3. SELF FINANCIAL, INC. is not exempt from any claims or defenses as described in 16 C.F.R. 433.2 ( a ) as I may invoke my rights as the debtor in this consumer credit contract against SELF FINANCIAL , INC. for the unfair and deceptive practices herein as no contract after the date of XX/XX/XXXX is exempt from 16 C.F.R. 433.3.
