The Kapiti Coast-based Buddle, 31, who has been remanded on bail until October for sentencing, was charged after a police investigation into complaints by her clients that they persuaded them to mortgage their properties and lend her the money.
The clients allege the money hasn't been returned but police laid no charges over their allegations.
Instead, the deception charges relate to Buddle staying in motels without paying.
Judge Bruce Davidson has ordered reparation and victim impact statements.

I truly hope the police and courts eventually charge Buddle for the offenses she has committed upon former clients. She needs to be held account for her actions and as Jason says a message must be sent to others in the industry.
I look forward also to hearing why one of New Zealand’s biggest life insurance companies continued to accept business from her when the bank that owns them had already refused to deal with her?
