Tell me how it works. By blackmail? By libel and slander?

By the way, I suppose you meant recovery there, and not repossession.

Careful.
Repossession .. Google can help you read aboy repo men and how they operate

Start your own loan company if u think u can do better

They are regulated, the problem is that they don't want to register with government's financial regulators,for example do you know that 90% of these loan companies do not have any known offices?

Gbam!

They vanish into thin air when you seek them. You can't even find an address to serve them court papers!

What sort of companies are those if not underworld loan sharks.

Uncle, careful dabbling into what you don't know. I happen to be a lawyer and I am speaking with legal principles in mind.

You repossess tangible property - which you once possessed. A loan, you recover. But that's a small matter.

Nice one if it's true.

This thing has plunged a lot of people into pitiable debt.

But I don't know how someone can loaned money and find it very hard to pay back on the agreed date. When the loan company start disgracing them, they start crying foul. Some of them will run to nairaland to seek for help. Very stupid and uselesssss people infact thieves. I don't blame loan companies at all for their actions.
because you are ignorant of the fact that you borrowed with the app and you are unable to pay back through the app, You contact their customer care and they send you their company account number that you should pay and send evidence of payment, you paid and send evidence and they promised to clear it for you on the app...they didn't clear it and fiaammm the second day they have roll over your principal and they will tell you that you must pay with threats. Your borrowing of #30,000 Will turn to #65,000 in just 15 days. While banking policy says that interest must not be above 35 percent in a whole year. All these Chinese doing this in Nigeria can't try in in their country. Sokoloan, L credit, cash cash I received countless of what'sapp message telling me to inform my contacts to pay up and if not I will be sanctioned and my BVN would be blocked. The contacts that I don't even know from Adam

Sad development for the lenders and the borrowers. The federal government should have found a way to regulate the sector, instead of forcing them to close shops.

It is already regulated, they are the ones to ensure they have CAC registration and CBN license b4 operating but that will mean they cant do all these cut throat lending and cant abuse data privacy laws

Is this not stupid so are we encouraging the defaulters to continue to default. Do you know how the banks got the money, its other peoples money. Instead of govt to empower the banks more to be able to collect their money. If you cant help them to recover their loan why not just leave them....

A little learning can be a terrible thing. I warned you to be careful but you bound forth where angels fear to tread. You said "repossession" and in this clime it has a distinct legal connotation. Don't rush to mix and befuddle things with foreign terms that you are not familiar with.

Now at all events you then slant it towards what a "repo" is. Okay, here is what a Repo is -

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repurchase_agreement

A repurchase agreement, also known as a repo, RP, or sale and repurchase agreement, is a form of short-term borrowing, mainly in government securities. The dealer sells the underlying security to investors and, by agreement between the two parties, buys them back shortly afterwards, usually the following day, at a slightly higher price.

Now can you tell me what a Repo as described here has to do with the scenario under discussion here concerning recovery of petty loans by methods of blackmail?

Let me suggest to you that it's not too late to climb down your high horse of pretentious knowledge on a subject you know nothing about. Be humble. It doesn't kill.

Probably not and neither will Carbon be. Both appear to have strong corporate governance and global best practices.

Long over due.!!! My phone's are bombarded daily with people's pictures, phone numbers and details of so called loan defaulters.
Is this how we are going to continue?
If some one owns and hasn't paid, I think there are much saner ways to go about it.

The thing now, is that individuals have abducted the uncultured method. If they carry out hasn't received their orders, the next you see is, your pic and information on relatives phone's.

It's not my fault u can't comprehend

This argument started with him saying intimidation and threat are not used to recover loans

I asked him to go look how repossession is done because stalking , Intimidation ,threat are all used ...the idea of repo is to shame the defaulter

Such repossession refers to action on a collaterized loan. The loans we speak of are not collaterized and this is exactly why the loan sharks resort to blackmail. If they were collaterized they would simply go after the collateral.

Why is humility so hard? I repeat: it doesn't kill to be humble. It doesn't kill to learn. It doesn't kill to admit you got something wrong.

My schools? I am proud of them. Corona. Kings College. Unilag and the Nigerian Law School.

You are simply advocating the criminal tactics of loan sharks while flinging around technical terms that have nothing whatsoever to do with such criminality.

Repos have nothing to do with legitimizing blackmail.
