Sincerely, Self Financial Team My credit file shows a different account. It show that this account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX. 
That it's highest balance was {$1700.00} And that the account was closed XXXX. XXXX, XXXX Even after the account is closed on that date it has continued to be marked each month as late. This has negativity impacted my score and the false reporting of a closed account that was never late is still being reported as delinquent for more than a year. This was a PREPAID account that was paid each month on time. The PREPAID balance was used and the account was closed. There was never a late payment and the information that has been reported and continues to be reported is adversely effecting my credit with inaccurate information and must be removed immediately.
