Company: Atlanticus Services Corporation
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022. A transaction was made at XXXX XXXX, where I hold a line of credit, and they send me an email asking for authorization. I did not sign such email because I have not purchased anything on that date or anytime near that date. A few days later, I get a letter from Fortiva Retail Credit with a bill of an installment and a total amount owed of {$1300.00}. I of course panic and call Fortiva since I already had an account with them because of a fridge I purchase and finished paying several months prior to that incident. They opened and investigation but they have not gotten back to me and they keep charging me this bill and the interest keeps increasing. I also called XXXX and they said that such purchased was never made. I have no idea where this transaction came from but I am tired of constantly getting letters and emails from Fortiva to remind me to pay. I have absolutely no clue how they even got my information to do this transaction nor how this installment came to be. I need this off my credit and peace of mind because this has never happened to me before.

Issue: Problem with the payoff process at the end of the loan — 
Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
I opened a credit builder account with Self. I was making payments on an installment loan for 9 months and I decided to pay the loan off earlier than the payoff date. I was willing to pay the balance in order to receive the sum. I paid the final balance off and was waiting on the payoff to be processed when I received an email stating that they needed to verify some information before they could continue processing my payoff. They asked for a bank statement, my social security number, my drivers license, and a picture of my holding up my drivers license. I sent in the documents and they said that they couldn't take my documents because my license was expired. I called multiple times to speak to a supervisor to explain why my current situation didn't allow me to renew my license and all they could tell me was that until I sent in the " correct documents ', I wouldn't be able to get my money. I also have a secured credit card with them and I asked the supervisor if I wouldnt have to make a payment on my credit card either because they were waiting to verify my information and he told me that I would still be responsible for making the payments on the credit card account but I wouldnt be able to use the card or have access to my money from the installment loan until I turned in the documents. I didn't have to present any documentation when I opened the accounts and I was never asked for any other paperwork while I had the accounts.
