Negative reviews
1/5 Rating: “You call clients promising to increase their loan limits, yet when they clear the limit remains the same. When you contact the same number that called you to pay, they DO NOT pick up. This is very unprofessional and unfortunate at the same time. You even sent me a text message that the limit has been increased, yet on the app, it is still the same. Kindly rectify this to avoid losing long-term customers. Thank you!”
1/5 Rating “Very useless app after 5 days they start contacting you and it’s not my due date I have tried to reach their number but I have not received help”
