bad service

i have be told that i quaify for loans and i have sent all my documents in and i dont get told nothing and still they tell me to send more documents and when i call in there agents tell me that everything looks good and i must give them a good rating. finchoice doesnt know how handle customers and i am surprise they ever have good business. they promise loans and as when they get a person hopes up they let you down without any reason. i am very disgusted in this company and we as south africans should bougot this company as there service is very very poor and there agents are just the same. they make false promises to there customers. i am very discussed in also when you call in they also dont know themselves what is going on and they rather put the phone down in my ear

SPAM SMS

I have been receiving spam SMS from FinChoice for a number of months. No matter how many times I unsubscribe, I keep getting SPAM. Where they got my number from, no one knows (so much for the POPI act). I'm not interested in FinChoice, nor have I ever been.

ITC unfairness

Currently i have a loan with finchoice, I did not know that if you take an additional loan, on your ITC it shows as if you have settled the other loan.Now when i am trying to apply a home loan, they need a letter to say those loans were settled as it shows on my ITC record.All i need is a letter, but i was told i can only get a statement, but home loans do not work with statement, now my home loan will fail just because of the letter that someone can just write , i find this very unfair.

Account still showing outstandint

I paid up my account with finchoice in 2015 through an attorney that they handed me over to and the loan was paid up and they provided me with a paid up letter and it was sent by myself to them when their legal department requested it last year but on my ITC it still shows an outstanding balance of R123 ,when I call their legal dept on the numbers provided by their agents none are working (011 767 5334 / 011 767 5439)

Kindly contact me so I can send you the paid up letter again which you can also get from the attorney you handed me over

Appalling Service

To whom it may concern,


I have never in my entire life experienced such incompetence throughout the entire company.

All your call centre staff are so unprofessional, they transfer from pillar and post and hang up if unable to assist.


It gets worst with the supervisor as well.

Ronette Schroeder is the most unprofessional manager I have dealt with, never accounts for anything and never deliver on promises.


It's been three month since i logged a query, till this day it's still unresolved.


As i'm typing this email, I have been holding for more than 30 minutes, call gets cut and I'm transferred from one department to the other.


Never again will I do business with Finchoice and I will make sure that i warn people as well.

Kind Regards,

my account is debited after the account is settled

My Standard bank account was debited on 20/03/2017 after the account with finchoice was settled on 03/03/2017 by African Bank. I called Finchoice on 20/03/2017 at 16:00 to rectify the error and refund me but the consultants are refusing they are claiming that I had 3 accounts(2 which were internally which as a client did not know about, it was never communicated to me) and African bank only settled one account but what is funny is that when I was at African bank when the account was settled there was one account showing on the credit bureau and the balance was what African bank settled. When Finchoice received the payment and letter from African Bank they choose not to contact me as a client to inform me that the amount settled is less but transfer amount to what so called 3 accounts which never reflected on credit bureau.The consultants at finchoice are not willing to assist on Monday I spoke to almost 8 people some claiming that the are managers but only to find out that they are consultants and cannot even assist me. I spoke to Nabila who was so rude and promised me that Natasha Ersme will contact me on Wednesday 22/03/2017 in the morning but guess what I had to call finchoice AGAIN!!!!Crap services I have received and still no refund. Natasha promised me I will get an e-mail with all recording and proof of accounts, balance, all details before 09:00 Thursday 23/03/2017 so that I can be able to lodge my complain but guess what I have not received anything. The amount debited has really made me suffer, financially and emotionally not even mentioning the stress that I have to go through the entire incompetent staff of Finchoice!!!

Lenah

PROOF OF PAYMENT

Proof of payment

I made a payment of R14000.00 to Finchoice on 11/01/2017. I did not put my ID number as a reference, as I was new to this Internet banking thing.I did put my name and surname.
I have been calling Finchoice daily for the past 19 days as my money has not been allocated to my account.
They asked me for proof of payment, I sent it, they then asked for my bank statement, which I also obliged with but am still not getting a clear answer as to where my money went.
Surely their accounts department should see an un allocated amount of R 14000.00 in their bank account
My Absa bank consultant has tried to find out what is going on, she was just pushed from pillar to post. I don't know what to do now, and where to go.

Finchoice

I have been trying to get a hold of Finchoice Legal Department since September 2016. I was able to speak to two ladies in the legal department, weeks apart, whom both claimed to have problems with their computers, took my details and swore to get back to me but never did. I have been calling almost every day since September. Finchoice consultants are 'unable' to assist me as they are 'unable' to see my balances. They have apparently sent emails etc to the legal department but till now I have yet to receive a responds. MOST of the consultants are rude and never gives you a hearing.

I am frustrated as all I want is a settlement balance. Does it really take FOUR months?????
Pathetic service to the max.

Wont let me settle my balance

I have been trying to settle my account with finchoice but they won't let me, I was told by one of the consultants that they cannot help me because my account is up to date so they will keep on deducting from my account. I called again, and I found one rude consultant who gave me banking details over the phone with no references whatsoever she didn't even want to tell what the settlement amount was. I'm tired of these people I have been paying without skipping and every month the balance owing goes up so that I will be indebted to them forever. I need to settle the amount but they do not want to assist me, can i take them to the lawyers? They are very crooked

Proof of payment

I made a payment of R1500.00 to Finchoice on 01/10/2016 and I didn't put my ID number as reference, as I was new at this internet banking thing, I did however put CR in it's place. I have been calling Finchoice daily for the past 26 days as my money has not been allocated to my account. They asked me for proof of payment, I sent it, they then asked for my bank statement, which I also obliged with but am still not getting a clear answer as to where my money went. They refused when I asked if I could ask my bank to re-call the funds after I asked them to confirm their banking details and it is as on the proof of payment. I don't know what to do now, and where to go.
