Madam Lapo na structured MFB.

Most of this app no even get lending license they are just hiding under digital app.

Have u interacted with some of their recovery people and see how terrible and unprofessional they communicate ?

But it makes it worse,because they don't even have cbn backing.

Physical contact is a long way bro.

Try to get the amount you're owing and even if it takes you the next one month to get it so far you pay the exact amount and don't listen to those increase when you pay, after all their interest rate is too high with shorter period to repay, they their selves are crook.

Don't dare them. I know the inner workings.

Nobody will come and attack u and tell u who sent them..

They av moles in Telco, with Ur mobile number to know where u sleep is as easy as ABC

As for the kidnap and beating , u will attribute it to bandits.

Like I said , borrow and pay back or stay away from them.

If you are unable to pay, just manage them

Well,it's expected of you to pay back any loan you took if not for anything at least for helping those in that loan to keep their jobs.

On the other hand,the country is very hard to live in now,the purchasing power is fast declining and people must eat and meet up with their daily obligations.
The interest rates on these loans are killing,how can a company gives a loan for 7 days and charge 25%?

My advice,If you don't have money now,just go and look for the money and if you can't get it now,be picking their calls and keep reassuring them you will pay back as soon as you have the money.
They cannot arrest you,it is an unsecured loan , the worst they can do is to keep insulting and sending damaging messages to your contacts and these may affect your credit rating.

I know inner workings does not translate to I work with them but if that is how far u can comprehend no problem.

Keep Ur integrity intact. If u borrow money, pay back. It should be that simple.

Like I said u av been relating with people who are reasonable with u that is why u dey dare them to message Ur contact.

The ones I know will not ask for ur permission to engage Ur contact. They even sent message for one of my old class mates claiming she is owing them but now dead and she used me as guarantor.

Is that the humiliation u will rather suffer for 15k ?

thats not true.. when applying for the loan i am sure you filled out and agreed to some contracts that gives the loan company legal right to prosecute you.

Also you can lose your job, if such message gets to your organization mistakenly.

Oga am sorry ooo there is no sense in this your post.

A company will send someone to beat up her debtor because he/she has not paid back his/her loan.what if the person dies in the hands of these people,how will they recover their loan?

Like I said,the worst they can do is to continue to disgrace the debtor,.
publishing debtor's name in newspaper is expensive oooo and charging debtor to court is expensive too.

Though I am not in support of borrowing money and not willing to payback.

Already, by sending nasty messages to his associates, they have made themselves guilty, and have turned him to the victim.

No lender has the right to harass a debtor. Highest is to report him to a regulating body. And because these lenders don't even mostly operate within the ambit of the law, they prefer to use harassment and threats to get their money back.

You already summarized the problem in the last paragraph..

Most of them don't even have licenses to lend.

You won't even know the name of the company that lend u money.

Anybody can put a name on an app in app store.

You will pay that money whether you like it or not.

And note, you're not only going to pay them in cash, you will also lose your reputation and credit worthiness.

Don't because of 15k lose your ability to get a 500 million loan for your big business tomorrow. Some of you want to lose your future because of recharge card money.

Oga, you have integrity issue. It is better to borrow from someone you know than these loan sharks.
But you can also make money from them if you sue them for privacy violation.

U are only wasting your time if u sue them for privacy violation cos it wasn't by force they gave u d loan. U asked for it. So pay ASAP.
Your attitude to default on loan is not good at all. Go and pay your loan.
Haba. Why are we like this in this country?

It is quite sad to see people even encouraging this bad act. Loan is why Europe, America and Canada grows but people in Nigeria are great defaulters even some of our politicians.

Lawlessness is in this nation. I do not understand the kind of law these loan apps operate with. I don't know about these apps until one boys started disturbing me to assist him pay back. First, he asked for N50,000 for repairing his car which I gave him, and he refunded me. And then, this loan thing came in. I told him I will not borrow him to pay back any loan because I realised he actually needed over N700k to pay all (i think up to 15 apps or so). And he used the first N50,000 fast refund as a way to show he would haved paid back if I had given him. I understood the game. I just hissed off, but I encouraged him what to do. I showed him how to get out of it, but he was not ready to listen, but was bent on collecting money from me (my money oooo). Maybe he was using juju, I dont know what gave him the boldness. When he realised I was not going to give him, he blocked me on the social media platform he used to communicate me. As soon as I realised it, I removed him from all my lists everywhere. Today, he is looking depsrately for me again, and never will I allow such in my space again. I dont want much with him again. If I say bye bye to you and you dont take it as bye bye, na you will regret it. My bye bye is bye bye. Shikena.

15 loan apps? shocked

Count yourself lucky grin

Many people take these loans thinking they can get away without repaying - awoof, they call it. But how wrong they are! With Bvn and Nin, you can run but certainly can't ever hide. Op just pay back the paltry 15k - there's no escape route for you to dodge repaying your loan. At worst, you may try your luck with crowdfunding to free yourself.

Their licenses are not from the CBN so they actually can't deduct the money the way all of you are saying. That's why they resort to those threats. They are money lenders and not banks.
