AI Review Summary

Based on recent customer reviews, Boodle presents a sharply divided experience. A cluster of customers praise named consultants who resolve queries in minutes and pay out almost instantly, while a far larger group describe stalled applications, unanswered emails, missing paid up letters and credit records that stay negative long after settlement. Individual agents earn strong praise; the surrounding systems and follow through consistently frustrate borrowers.

Top Strengths:

  • Customer Service & Professional Guidance: Named consultants including Sizakele Malangabi, Anikie Molepo, Nomzamo Makhubo and Delano are repeatedly singled out for patience, clear explanations and ownership. These interactions lift the theme, but collections staff and unreachable managers pull it down sharply.

Extraordinary customer service

After 2 daya not receiving adequate assistance from the Boodle team, a single call to Sphiwe and he made my terrible experience quite memorable. We need consultants such as him to drive a peaceful and efficient customer support. Thank you so much Sphiwe, you are a true jewel to Boodle. Well done!!!

Lowest grade of service ever.

I'm glad everyone think they are great. My wife app**** for a loan and it was declined. Her has a good credit score with no missed or late payments, no judgements or any faults on her score. When I required why it was declined, I was informed - Late or missed payments, insufficient credit history, Judgements against her name in the last 6 months. When I told them non of that is true, they told me that they think its one of those reasons, not all of them. They couldn't give me a reason. So, no, I think they are very unprofessional, won't even think of using them ever.

Happy Customer

The customer service operator (woman) was very professional and helpful. She sorted my query and updated my personal details, promptly. This was very good service indeed. (This was on 03 Sept 2026, around 12:20pm -sorry I forgot her name)
