hi I would like to request banning of this misleading loaning app. they also invade my personal data. getting contacts on my personal phone without my permission. also they put high interest on my debt for 7 days which is misleading because before you apply the breakdown is clear that i will get 2310 but they only sent 1500 then they want me to pay 2310 for 7 days. now they started calling my colleques without my permission.
