Unauthorised charges

They are stealing money from us. We had paid them in full. We have the paid up letter. We had to cancel their debit order and they just added another debit order. I'm so beyond angry now. I cannot afford to pay for something that we already paid I full.

Keep on deducting although Loans were settled in March 2022

Finchoice keeps on debiting my account with different reference numbers whereas I already settled the loans in March 2022 they didn't update the payments and is still debiting my account.

False reports on active accounts. Zero balance yet account marked in arrears

Frustrated client.
False reports on active accounts. Account in arrears yet zero balance
I don't know who's going to assist me with this. I've been emailing and calling wanting my accounts to be updated accordingly since December. Send countless proof of payments to support my complain. In January I've made payments to settle my account yet finchoice is saying my account is in arrears even with a zero balance. I have one installment left on my 6month loan but I'm not getting offered any funds because apparently my account is in arrears. I've made manual payments on months installments didn't go off and I think it's one month that happened. I'm very much disappointed because I use this app to assist me financially but instead I'm stressing after making payments. I've contacted all departments but no assistance. All my queries have been marked as resolved yet me as the client am not satisfied with the outcome. No one has bothered calling me to address the matter. I've been their client since 2020 but of late I'm not happy with the service they giving me.

Closed Accounts showing arrears

Two Loans paid off. ACC 6469726 and 5020085

I called for them to update their system as it still shows on my profile as active accounts after I settled them in 2018. I was given reference numbers for this to be done 864323 / 859031.

I received a message it was completed and resolved on the 28th January 2022. I called again on the 31/01/2022 for them to send a paid up letter and was promised the letter was emailed . Nothing came through.

Those accounts are now reflecting as arrears on my credit profile!.

I just want this resolved as it is adversely affecting my credibility .

Went into my credit profile this evening and those closed accounts are now reflecting as arrears!!!

This is causing me so much distress as my home loan application might be declined because of this!

Business Administration - Working with Customers and Teams

I am a pensioner and have a loan with Finchoice, which seem not to finish. I get harassed daily by their consultants demanding payment even when there is payment arrangement in please. These people need to stop, I can receive more than 5 to 10 calls a day from different consultants, Some are suspicious, giving their personal FNB accounts to make payment. I feel that my personal information is at risk with this company and it is not protected at all. I need help, I think these youngsters working for FINCHOICE are taking advantage of senior citizens and threating to black list me. Customer number

My loan was settled

I took out a consolidation loan with Nedbabk to settle two loans I had from two different Financial Institutions.

The one institution closed the loan account once payment was received with no issue.

But FinChoice, I sent them proof of payment with their details on the document and my consolidation statement.

But yet I'm told they can't find the payment and Iust contact nedbank.

What must I ask Nedbabk, they have literally given everything FinChoice needs.

Now FinChoice has decided to put account in arrears and add more interest.

FINCHOICE NEEDA TO FIX THEIR NONENSE. THIS IS CAUSING ME MAJOR DISTRESS!

don't even talk about the call centre agents.

They sound half asleep.

Those that do help even confirmed what I sent is correct and has the correct details on it.

So what's the problem?!

And to top things off, my debit order date was 25th but THEY DEDUCTED money on the 22nd.

I OWE YOU NOTHING!

My loan was settled

I'm being penalized for an account which was already paid.

I used a consolidation loan to pay off two loans.
The one financial institution had no issue with closing the loan account once it was settled. But Finchoice claims to not have received a payment.

I have sent them proof of the payment.

They have now put my account in arrears and the loan is already settled!

This is causing me major distress.

I should have never even bothered with them.

The call centre is useless. The agents sound like they are half asleep.

Those that do help confirm the account number of proof of payment letter is correct.

I just want this resolved!

Loan application complaint

I applied for a loan with Finchoice on 26/10/2021, on the same day as seen below I also sent my payslips as it was requested. I got a sms on the same day to confirm that my documents
was received, but since then I heard nothing from Finchoice. I would like to provide the below information to you with regards to me doing the follow ups since 26/10/2021.

Herewith my follow ups and feedback from the call centre agents:
26/10/2021, 15h57- I was informed that application is in process.
02/11/2021, 13h33 - I was informed that all checks done, but they not getting hold of me. I confirmed again my number.
03/11/2021, 10h18 - I was informed again that my number is wrong, The agent said she is updating the status again and its again with verification and that Finchoice will make contact with me.
05/11/2021, 13h35 - I was informed by same agent of 3/11/2021, that they will phone me, she will escalate to her team leader.
05/11/2021, 15h38 - Did another follow up when I will be contacted.
13/11/2021, 08h09 - Agent informed me that it will take another day or two and I asked for a team leader's details.
15/11/2021, 08h47 - Got an sms at 7h57 today stating Finchoice is unable to contact me and my application has been cancelled. I contacted the call centre today and the agent informed me that my details is incorrect or not corresponding. She will escalate to her Team leader.
May i ask if I can be contacted urgently, as Finchoice has never tried to contract me as I got no calls from them. For more then 3 weeks I was given information, but never feedback to how far application is or what is needed or what is required. I would like to apply urgently, but need to if I may and if yes, what is the details that is incorrect or not corresponding as I was never contacted with any feedback.

Please contact me on 0834219948

FRAUD

my bank which is Nedbank has just let me know that I have a loan account with finchoice which i did not apply for. I spoke to your call center agent just now who gave me some information but refused to disclose her name.

please note that i have not applied for any credit with your institution nor have i applied for a funeral cover. Your institution did not do a thorough credit check and I will be reporting you to the National Credit Regulator and the Consumer Commission. i need you to remove my name and ID number from that loan application ASAP.

should you blacklist my ID Number because of your careless credit approval or fraud that clearly exist in your institution I will sue you for damages.
