Finchoice is ruining my life

I can not believe how unprofessional Finchoice staff has been, first in January I double paid my two accounts Mobi and Flexi I then called them to refund me, they gave me run around and as they have always done they topped up my flexi loan and I borrowed the top up because my other bills needed to be paid and was waiting for my refund. When I was not refunded I reversed both payments and got only one. When I followed up on the second refund they said I won’t get it because of the top up and I’m thinking to myself how am I paying for my own money which was paid to them by accident?? I left it because had no energy to fight with them. I finished paying for the mobi account and I’m left with the Flexi and when I checked my credit score it was insanely low and I saw finchoice showing Two months in arrears and was shocked because I have never missed a payment and when I called phone got dropped 3 times and I gave my phone number so they can call me if the phone got cut but they never did, so I sent them an email and it came back saying I owe them money for two months. When they owe me money I double paid and they gave it to me as a top up loan and I am paying for it every month now they say I owe them 2 months and even put that on my credit score which has only started picking up from the damages they did in2023 which I fought for months and still left damages on my credit report. Can someone please do something about this company it is getting ridiculous ombudsman or someone needs to intervene and investigate.

A day later nothing has been done somebody keeps sending emails and saying I owe them money when I don’t, they can keep the money I don’t even care but the damage on my credit is stressing. This is not fair! How do we have companies like this operating is beyond me

Hi Thabile,
Trust you are doing well,
Please note your account is in arrears because you disputed a payment after you did a top-up loan. Remember before you disputed the debit order it was based on that balance when you did the top-up.

Hi clearly you guys have not read the emails I sent including my bank statement so you can see all the payments made to finchoice. I double paid in January, I was debited twice instead of just once and I reversed the second payment and you redebited me again. Meaning that reverse payment was taken again from my account. Please refer to my bank statement which I sent you guys and see all the payments and please remove that 2 months in arrears you put on my credit report. It’s affecting my credit score badly! Before rushing to reply check the bank statement I sent!

Hi Thabile,
Trust you are doing well,
I understand you made a double payment, however your balance when doing the reloan was based on the double payment made. So when you disputed the payment your account went into arrears. You are required to pay this arrears as it is valid.

This doesn’t make any sense at especially when I am paying for the reloan and have never missed a payment why would you double debit me and use my money you double debited from my account a reloan and make me pay for it every month??? Not only you took my money and gave it to me as a loan and made me pay for it you then went and wrote that my account is in arrears on my credit report! Double debit me and use that same money as reloan and make me pay for it and claim I owe you money. A day after that reloan you debit my account yet again but here we are with you claiming I owe you money. Make this make sense please!

Hi Thabile,
Trust you are doing well,
Please note that the double debit order that went off was taken off your balance. When you took out another loan it was based on your balance with the double debit order. So when you disputed, your account went into arrears.
