I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: Self Financial Inc.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
In 2021, I signed up for a fake loan, basically, with Self Financial. They don't actually loan you money, but you pay on a sort of dummy loan to build credit. I was unable to make payments like I thought I would, so tried to close the account. Now it's on my credit report as a charge-off. They have my money, they never lent me any money, but it's charged off and in collections. I don't think this type of program should be legal. They charge very high interest for people to pay them in the hopes of repairing credit, but it's hurt me more than anything. I also tried to close my secured credit card with them and had about {$110.00} in funds that I'd paid onto the card due back to me, but that account is also now on my credit as a charge-off. I've tried calling them, and also disputing these on my credit. I'm being turned down for auto loans and my score is worse than when I signed up for their products.

Company: FinCo Services Inc DBA Current
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
After experiencing absolutely terrible customer service with Current, an app advertised as a way to make it easier for parents to provide children with allowance and help them manage their money, I sought to close my account. 

The only customer service is available via email and text within the app. There is no way to get a person on the phone. 

Both my kids experienced fraudulent purchases on their Current accounts via XXXX. The process for addressing this is time-consuming, puts the consumer in the position of proving the charge, and takes up to 90 days to resolve. 

I have now made several requests to close my account via their help system, the only way to do so. I have submitted all of the personal information they requested. My last response from them was three days ago and my account still has not been closed. In my last email to them, I told them that if I did not receive a response and if my accounts were not closed, I would file complaints with CFPB and XXXX.

Company: DISCOVER BANK
State: NH

Complaint narrative:
Complaint to CFPB Regarding Discover Card Account Verification Issues Introduction I am writing to file a complaint against Discover Card regarding their account verification practices. These practices unfairly restrict my ability to access and manage my account. 

Details of the Complaint On XX/XX/2024, Discover Card blocked purchases on my account. To unblock the account, I was informed that a verification code would be sent to my phone number. However, Discover claimed they were unable to send the code because my phone number was ineligible due to their policies. 

My Concerns My concern is that Discover 's policy appears to limit verification code delivery to phone numbers associated with mobile plans from a select group of telephone companies with whom Discover ( or their vendors ) have a contractual relationship. This policy has a discriminatory impact on consumers in several ways : Geographic Discrimination : Consumers residing in areas not serviced by Discover 's preferred phone companies are unfairly disadvantaged. 
Socioeconomic Discrimination : Consumers who can not afford service from Discover 's preferred providers are denied access to their accounts. 
Impact of Discover 's Policy Discover 's practice of regularly blocking purchases and then requiring verification through a limited set of phone number providers creates a significant hardship for many consumers. 

Request for Relief I request that the CFPB investigate Discover 's account verification practices. Specifically, I urge the CFPB to determine if these practices violate : The Fair Credit Billing Act 's ( FCBA ) prohibition on unfair or deceptive acts or practices.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ) regulations that prevent discrimination based on factors like socioeconomic status or geographic location. 
I also request the CFPB to require Discover to implement more inclusive verification methods that do not discriminate against consumers based on their phone service provider. 

Additional Information I am available to provide any additional information or documentation that may be helpful in your investigation. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
