Man owing loan app for years laments
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG previously reported that a man owing a loan app for two years had cried out after redownloading the application.
This is because he found out that his debt had climbed to N1.4 million. When he noticed the amount, he took to Facebook to ask the lawyer for a solution.
A barrister advised the desperate man to sort out the loan issue urgently as it could affect his credit score and deny him many future opportunities. He further advised the debtor to visit the loan company’s office and plead to be on ‘fair ground.’
