Self Customer Insights

1. I called in to close my credit card account and now my payout is locked and had not been released even after I received a payout date in email from Self.It's horrible to get ahold of someone for customer support! I've been trying to add a bill.

2. It seems this company has outsourced every part of its platform which is problematic...I received an email today with what appeared to be a link to schedule a payment for my credit card, but the link opened to a closed Credit Builder account.

3. Update: After completely paying my credit builder account and card account to a Zero balance I still have not received my payout from either account.

4. They've gotten a lot of users and recognition over the years and they now need to reinvest in the company and have proper and sufficient customer support.Update: Started as: A great choice on the path of rebuilding credit as long as you stick with it.

5. Otherwise, I'm very happy with Self.Do Not Trust!! Opened a credit card as well as two credit Builder accounts.

6. The first time the account was about 560+ no issues with payments or final payout... but with my second account for 3k I had an issue with a payment processing and I paid off the account early because i needed the money I had previously invested, they have been jerking me around every since.

7. Going to cancel very soon.Love Self!! Helps you to save money and improve your credit score at the same time.

8. It's been over a month since they closed the accounts and they refuse to release my funds of almost $700.Avoid at all cost, I used the credit builder service twice.

9. Also you can access a credit card after a certain period of time.

10. Now the bad part, I took the secured credit card loan thing.

11. It also gives you the choice to turn what you are saving into a credit card.
