For the past years finwell was doing so well, by 2024 the were paying my husband’s debt well, by 2025 they’d been deducting R2000 to pay for a credit card and clothing store account but they failed to do this , such that the account are in arrears and they’ve been deducting this whole time. They just disappeared into thin air when he asked for his refund

About June 2024 I was contacted by Finwell , the agent said she needs R675 to quote and IF i accept they would debit R2500 . Lo and behold both amounts went off . I dealt with Marius , asked for a copy of my bank statement showing the debit , which I sent although no-one asked for a copy before they helped themselves. After months of trying to get my R2500 back (they were apparently waiting for a transcript of the call ) I gave up .It just makes me angry that this can happen with no recourse . I just need to warn people about them

Dont use this company. Absolutely horrible. After i cancelled my contract with them they still debit my account. And im still struggling to get my money back. The communication is terrible. The things they say and the they do is two different things. Please be aware of this company.
