Something needs to be done about these loan sharks or apps or whatever they call themselves before we'll witness a surge in suicide cases in the country.. I mean how will you just send out damaging msgs about a person to their contacts tagging them as criminals, fraudsters and other unprintable names. o wrong now. What if the boss or spouse of that person sees it, you'll ruin the person's life just like that because of 50 - 100k debt. Our govt. needs ro wake up o. 7 Likes 1 Share |

OP, you're really neck deep with this loan shark people but that's not a reason to contemplate suicide. Never. Now listen to my story. I hope everyone on this thread would learn. I wasn't tied down by loan sharks. But somehow, my debt was standing at about a million plus as at 1st Jan. 2021. Mind you my monthly salary is 100k with some lil change on it. A very corporate job. Things went south to the extent my creditors came to report me to my boss. I wasn't shaken. Matter was taken to NSCDC and I was detained. My wife was terribly disturbed. And agreement was entered because I made it clear I won't excrete money in detention. My boss came to bail me. Did my analysis and came to the conclusion that my 100k salary can never offset the debt. My hustling instinct kicked in. I left the 100k per month job. I went and stored my certificates. Took up keke driving on higher purchase. I make an average of 9k daily. On Saturdays, I make close to 15k. I pay 17k weekly for the keke. Every week, I stash up 40k(160k in a month.) I've been paying 150k monthly. I can't come and go and kill my self(Street slang) I'm a graduate with many professional qualifications. But the system we find ourselves is bleeped up. Oga get creative. Think outside the box and abort this suicidal thoughts. It is well with you. 49 Likes |

Dear OP, please don't mind those people telling you not to contemplate suicide. You're very free to contemplate suicide or any of its accomplices, and actually commit it. Nobody will miss you, because nobody actually really cares! But if you love yourself, suicide is never an option. Like somebody said, it's a straight way to hell. But then again, you apparently don't even like yourself. So please feel free and suit yourself. It is a free world plus, this country is already overpopulated!

How did that happen? You can't be able to get up to #10,000 From them as first time borrower .Op say the truth! Did you get the loan and use it for gambling?. You said you earn 100k monthly? And you signed up just yesterday.... |

There was a time I used about 5 loan apps, & honestly the interest is like 20% or more for 2weeks loan or less, & the sooner you pay, the higher your ratings to access higher loans. At a point in time, a popular loan app(used for over 3years) even offered me #90,000 loan to pay back monthly(high interest rate) within 6months. I was so engrossed in these apps that before I knew what was happening I was borrowing from one app to pay another loan, the interest rates are so ridiculous that if not careful, you will keep living in debts, To cut the long story short, I was oweing 5 loan apps about 250k. It took me nothing less than 7 months to pay off all the debts & I deleted all the apps & decided never to borrow again. Even after I deleted the app, one of the major apps kept calling that I'm one of their good clients with good ratings, & kept asking why I don't take loans again, they kept on with sweet talks & even offered much higher loans , I just laughed yeye people The only reason you could have owed so much is either you are an Addicted sport bettor or undisciplined crypto trader, one bad thing about sport betting is if addicted(talking from experience), you'll keep borrowing to chase losses hoping you will win to settle the debts but you would end up in more debts, & for crypto trading, never fomo or buy assets@ All time high,& most importantly don't invest more than you can lose. Advice: Man up & look for a way to pay all the debts & delete those apps, Trust me the interest they offer are outrageous & it only takes the grace of God to remain sane once you are trapped in their debts. Your life is far worth more than #700k. I can offer to borrow you about #200k without interest to pay back either monthly at an agreed amount if you're genuine...

There was a time I was in more than 4m debt due to a failed business. Why would you want to kill yourself because of ₦700k? If you think you're alone in this, then you're wrong. There are people passing through worse case scenario but still optimistic At least you have a job. Sit down and put pen to paper, plan an exit route, contact all the loan apps and draft out a repayment plan with them Divert 50% of your earnings towards offsetting them on installmental basis. You will be alright laslas 1 Like |

The scenario here is very simple; you kept on borrowing from various loan sharks as a result of your credit rating and never bothered to pay back. You probably enjoyed the idea of getting "free" credit alert, so much so that you squandered the whole thing on what doesn't make sense. Say you kept borrowing; what prevented you from making repayments when you earn about a N100k monthly, even if it was in bits? I know most people with a lifestyle of borrowing barely have savings, which accounts for why you resorted to selling your properties but what happened to your salary while you borrowed to the tune of N700k (which I find unbelievable BTW)? I wouldn't advise you to take your own life. Think of the pain you and the scar you'd be inflicting on your family. Live through the shame, slave and work to pay them back. Inform your bosses, line manager, or supervisor and tell them you are being threatened. This will help cushion the effect of these sharks informing your colleagues and bosses. Finally, NEVER borrow from loan sharks! Anyone who is a regular with them can never amount to a thing. 1 Like |

Don't borrow if you can't pay back. Avoid loan apps
They are loan sharks and their percentage is too much |

your story shocked me! I sympathize with you. but I do not think that all credit organizations are scammers. you can find many good and safe organizations that will give you credit and will not cheat you. I am sure that you should familiarize yourself with the services of this company in more detail. I took installment loans online last week and do not regret it. i am sure they are reliable and i can trust them |

I believe the person because have been there before, how it got to 700k is very possible here is how it happens every time he pays a particular loan they increase the loan so he can collect more , he collects it hoping to solve some problem and pay back , now the 700k is not just one app it's alot of apps he can owe a app like carbon 70k , quick check 70k, fair money 100k, e.t.c. with interest Bros don't commit suicide o, you will come out of it gradually, just keep on telling people and when you pay a particular app don't go back to borrow from the app to use it to pay another app, that's always the culprit, 3 Likes |

I believe ur story and a good lesson is to be learnt here cause same thing happened to me.. don’t ever use funds from a loan app to offset due payment from another app. About a couple of months ago I was in need of cash urgently but the time frame given was so short but I had no choice, when the loan payment was due I registered another loan app to pay for the first Nd like that the non ending cycle started. How borrowing 10k for 14days turned to a 150k debt for me still baffles me. But Thank God I made up my mind to stop the crazy cycle n offset all bills with hardwork. I’m NEVER EVER using any of those apps EVER again. 14 Likes |

UnknownT: Wow! Those text were really bad. I guess the new generation fintechs have gotten ruthless with their recovery. Back then they weren't that aggressive with the recovery, they'd rather plead for the repayment. But if you look at the matter from these fintechs' point of view, people owe them in scary millions that would make you wonder if the debtors have conscience at all. To make matters worse, some are so determined with their default that they would even insult the agents, discard their sins or even stop using their bank accounts. No wonder they decided to shame them like that. I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. Imagine a company having over 500million in over due loans to a multitude of 5k crooners...na war o. 2 Likes |
