In the beginning I had a really good…
In the beginning I had a really good relationship with self. However, I was not planning on staying with them foreve, and this is where the issues started. It was an issue when I finished the initial length of the plan. The credit card I acquired with them every time they increased the limit they wanted to increase length of the plan. Then I had all my bills being reported to the credit bureau’s for an additional fee but the weren’t being reported. So I stopped that service and only had the free service which only reports your rent. Now they are using the excuse my bank isn’t linked. I plan on keeping the card with a zero balance and not using it anymore. THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS. AS LONG AS YOUR PAYING THEM YOUR GOOD. TRY TO LEAVE THEM AND THEY BECOME EXTREMELY RUDE AND LIARS.

Refuses to help with Fraudulent Charges
I've been with Self for a long time. They helped me get my credit started. Nowadays, they went drastically down hill. I have been trying to dispute a fraudulent charge on my account for weeks now, and they just tell me "No, it's not". They say they investigated but they clearly didn't. I contacted the seller myself and they pointed me towards contacting my credit card provider. And this is a charge of $63, roughly.
To kick it off even more, they have AI Customer Service people. Not all of them, but you run the risk of being aided by AI.
I'm not playing this game. Get your act together.

The problem I have been having is when logging in, there is such a long delay in Self sending a code number and therefore i can’t make any changes for bank account or make a payment. The IT department may have to address the issue.

Wasn't too bad in the beginning
Wasn't too bad in the beginning. Probably had self for well past a year. My card got locked for "suspicious" activity and was unable to clear the card. Had no late payments, was under the credit limit, and have made the payment for that month early... Tried to reach chat and was disconnected probably 10-15 times, each time starting a new conversation. Finally got an email sent to verify everything only to be slapped in the face with, "don't reply to this email." Even after being told to reply to that email. Fees are insane, credit hasnt gone up in the months having it. $925 in deposits and only getting back $700 is kinda ridiculous. Finding a much better company for credit building needs.
It take a long time
It take a long time, anyone would say its suppose to work like magic, but it does not, always works like an electronic wallet.
