Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I opened a Self account in XXXX to build my credit and made consistent, on-time payments. I paid well enough that Self offered me the secured credit card, which I accepted. At the time, I did not have a traditional bank account I used XXXX XXXX, which wasnt compatible with Selfs payment system, so I made payments using my husbands debit card with his full consent. I reimbursed him each time. 
In XX/XX/XXXX, my situation changed drastically. I became a victim of XXXX XXXXXXXX. My husband XXXX XXXX and destroyed all of my communication devices phone, laptop, tablet which is included in his arrest warrant. I was completely cut off from accessing my Self account or the email address associated with it. When I called Self in late XXXX, I was told the account was in an active investigation and they could not discuss it. When I called again in XXXX, I was told that due to verification issues, they could not help me unless I verified access via the original email which I no longer had access to due to the abuse. That email is now permanently locked. 

Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX : I was finally able to speak to a representative who updated my phone number and email on file. However, I still can not access my account or pay off the balance. Today, when I called Self again, I was told that I would need to submit bank statements from the debit card used but that card belonged to my now ex-husband, who has an active restraining order against him. I am legally not allowed to contact him to obtain anything, including those statements. I explained this and was told again that nothing could be done.

Ive made every effort to resolve this, and now Im in a situation where : I can not pay the debt ( even though I want to ) I can not get documents from Self confirming that I can not get into my account I can not remove this item from my credit report This is seriously impacting my financial recovery. I also need a letter from Self confirming the amount due and their refusal to allow payment so that I can provide it to the court, which is handling my XXXX XXXXXXXX restitution case. Without that letter or access, I can not move forward with resolving this through the legal system either. 

All I am asking is : 1. That Self either allow me to pay the account off in full, OR 2. Provide a written statement confirming that I am unable to pay due to their system limitations and account access rules Please help me resolve this. Ive done everything in my power to fix it.
