Hi Nokwanda,

Thank you for the feedback. We're sorry to hear your experience was frustrating. Please note that Arcadia Finance is a loan comparison service and we do not make calls to customers or guarantee loan amounts. If you received calls that felt misleading, these would have come from one of our lending partners. We'd recommend contacting them directly to clarify your application status.

Kind regards
