Unproffessional abusive treatment

I took a loan from Finchoice. At the time of taking the loan I was in a position to pay it back. Unfortunately my husband lost his business and I became the sole provider in my household. I received a call from their call centre and when I tried to make an arrangment of R100.00 per month with their agent that got very rude and told me that this is a one month loan and I cant make an arrangment. I advised the lady rather than going under debt review or admin and them getting next to nothing, I was willing to pay back R100.00 per month. The lady refused to accept the arrangment. I told her that they must then hand me over to their attorneys.

Today again I received a call from the lady at their offices. I tried to be civil to her and explain my situation and she one again started telling me I was rude and loud when in fact I was not. I was actually taking very calmly to her cause I sit in an open plan office. I tried to explain that why I wasnt paying the account. She told me when I took the loan I never mentioned my husband and that I MUST pay the loan. The problem is I have my expenses and I have now had to take my husband's expenses to. The lady made me feel as if I was robbing Finchoice of the R1600.00/R1800.00 I owe them. She was rude and degraded me.

I can understand if I said I didn't want to pay the account. But Ive been trying to make an arrangment and nobody want to accept same.

After the way Ive been treated - like a ******** for owing R1800.00, I would NEVER EVER refer anybody I know to Finchoice.

Ive explained my situation to them and I receive calls from 7 am in the morning till after 6pm in the evening. I now refuse to take their calls.

I prefer to be contacted via email. I do not wish to speak to anyone of your consultants at Finchoice. I did ask for myself to be put in the dire financial position I now find myself and I what everything in writing going forward. My contact email is **********

No email received from Finchoice. Clearly they do not want to resolve this matter.

The above reply from Finchoice just seems to be a standard response. Nothing gets done. I have been receiving calls from Finchoice for 7h30 in the morning till 18h30 at night from ********** number. I answered the call last night. The lady I spoke to was extremely rude. Told me that I do not want to make an arrangment with Finchoice. I pointed out to her that I wanted to made an arrangment of R100.00 but they refuse to accept same. She said that they dont make arrangments and that I must pay the whole amount. She kept talking over me and screaming at me. I am actually at my wits end with the abusive treatment that i am receiving from Finchoice staff. The lady screams so much at me that my work collegues can hear her. I owe Finchoice R1800.00 not a million. They actually are not worried about me lodging a complaint on Hello Peter. I think my only resource going forward is to go to the Ombudsman.
