bad service

I have been on the mailing list for home choice for just over a month now and have app**** for credit and was declined. I then received an email stating I qualify for R3300 and then proceeded to order items and after having no reply and no contact I then contacted them to find out the progress of my order. After a long wait I finally received a response saying that I don't qualify and the order is cancelled.I am now completely ****ed off and upset at the fact that I made other arrangements with the money I was saving to purchase the item cash and now find out I am a loser. How many other people have been treated the same and doesbthis happen often,if so this is bad business and this should be stopped. Again I say I am a loser because of *********** people/companies that get the hopes up and rip it away without so much as an apology or even a telephone call to explain.
