Before you say that I must have been paid for my review. I assure you. This is my true and honest perception of the past 12 months with SELF and their plan. I was in no way reimbursed by SELF. I did get from them a Better Credit Score and Confidence moving forward!

The past 10 yrs have been a nightmare. Without going into detail my 703 Credit Rating went down to 400. In three months! I couldn't borrow a cup of sugar... from my Grandmother!
Anyway, a year ago I signed up for SELF. It was easy and the flexible plans allowed me to actually make the autopayments each month. ON TIME. The 1st month passed. My score went UP 4 points! It hadn't done that for 10 yrs!
***This might work?!***
I checked into the app regularly and listened to the advise. After 3 mths I qualified for the SELF Credit Card. Set it for autopay. Used it, VERY sparingly. Have had 2 limit increases. Now, after a year, my score is up 91 points. I have a (modest secured credit card). I still have work to do but, SELF gave me the first step I needed. I can move forward with a little more confidence and security!
One step at a time!

Tip for consumers:
This is a good site! They REALLY have helped!

Products used:
I opened a Saver Account and Secured Credit Card

For 10 years or so, things were worse than bad. Without going into detail, everything in my life had fallen apart. My 703 credit score dropped to 400. In 3 months! I couldn't borrow a cup of sugar from my own grandmother!
Then I found SELF!
I was able to participate and not break my wallet. They have a number of plans to choose from!
I signed up.
Checking the SELF App regularly, as my payments were taken out automatically.
1st payment, my abysmal credit score was up 4 points. My score had not increased in several years! This was gonna be ok!
Month after month, with regular payments made. My score continued upward. 18 points in the 4th month! After a year. Which I am celebrating this Month, July 22. My credit score is up 91 points. I still have work to do. And I may try this a second time?! I have the Self Card with a recently approved increase. It is still secured but I actually have a credit card and I can actually see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you SELF! My new BFF!
