While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience. We recognise we may not catch everything, and you can flag anything you think we may have missed. Read more

Fraudulent Company that refuses to pay…

Fraudulent Company that refuses to pay my money back
Biggest bunch of robbers!! Do not take out any loans with them as they will double debit your account and refuse to pay you back. R6000 they have taken in unauthorized debits and are not willing to help, they will see no more money from me.

Still waiting for help

This company does not even deserve 1 star. From the 21st of July my issue has still not been resolved. I canceled my loan application now they are refusing to cancel the debit mandate that was setup on my account and provide me with proof. I know they will be debiting funds from my account when that date comes. They are trying to scam us like this. I will post a review on all platforms everyday to weaken their business until they resolve my issue. So disgusting.

I agreed for my debit to on 25th of each cause that is my pay pay. But they debited my account on Friday 22, when 26 was on Monday They took all my money that I was suppose to have my son's 8th birthday. I sadly had to cancel my boy's birthday. I had traumatic weekend, with no petrol and money for food when I tied to call them the told that they can't reverse because if 25th falls on a Monday they debit the Friday. This can't be right and this must stop. It seems I am not the only one with this complaint and there is nothing done about it. Finchoice us a bully 😤 with no business ethics. They charge high interest rate to behave like this on top of that.i am so angry 😠. I gmfeel robbed
