The Kapiti Coast-based Buddle, 32, was arrested last Friday, freed on bail and is due to appear in Porirua District Court today on the charges which, if proven, each carry prison terms of up to seven years, according to the Stuff website.
Kapiti-based sergeant Jacquie Muir said Buddle's clients lost about $1 million in total and their complaints had taken 18 months to investigate.
Five people have had to sell their homes because Buddle failed to repay the money she borrowed.
Last month, Buddle pleaded guilty to deception charges related to her staying in motels without paying and is due to be sentenced on those charges in October.
