My pal was terminated from her job four months ago and had an unsecured loan at stanchart.What is the worst case scenario? they keep calling her pressurizing her to 'look' for money to pay installments.No job prospects yet. I thought there is a sort of insurance one pays for this kind of scenario? anyone with experience or info.

Asi she is finished!!!!Pole to her.No insurance for Job loss in Kenya .


Please ask her to sell whatever she can and settle the loan before auctioneers come knocking .

That sofaset she bought at Ksh 50,000 will be valued at Ksh 500 by these ruthless auctioneers.
By selling before the auctioneers come , she can get better value .All the best .

How much is it? Has she notified the Bank that she lost her job and has no current job.

If amount is low, I don't see the Bank appointing Auctioneers.

Safe to put communication in writing.She can offer to pay once she gets a job.

Meanwhile, the worst I can forsee, is her being listed with the Credit Referencing Bureaus; meaning she is blacklisted and cannot get credit.

Auctioneers can come to you for any amount as long as they get a wind that you have some assets that are beyond the amount you owe.And they are stern , I tell you.

@Oaks, Thanks.. i thought the term unsecured meant that there are no assets that were offered as security? Se informed them that she is jobless. they mentioned credit reference blacklisting. The bad thing is that they are harrasing her as if she is jobless on purpose.

@Oaks is right, but @'user' must be the bank's official scarecrow.
If the lady took an unsecured facility, the bank cannot recover the money through liquidating any of her assets.
If the lady is willing to pay the loan, she should write and tell the bank; and keep them updated on her circumstances. She should also try to restructure the facility.

For the bank to attach her assets, it needs to convince a court that she is not insolent - a tall order.
These are not Kanu days for auctioneers to wreck havock without a court order. They would be dead if the lady knows her human rights. Or the bank can sue her - and since the law favors justice, not truth, she can convince the court that can only afford 1000 bob a month for say, a 2 million loan, the court has no qualms in ruling that she repays the money for the next 2000 months.

She is as good as minced meat.
Let her sell all stuff and deposit money in a close relaz/pal account,then she relocates to Sinai and rent a Kes.250 rumshackle and invite the bank to see her latest financial status!

stanchart unsecured loans have are insured!!!

one pays 2% insurance fees while applying for the loan.

i think the worst case is bad ratings at CRB

insurance for job loss ? I doubt.may be death or permanent disability.read the fine print.otherwise everybody would take huge unsecured loans and quit his job. a huge risk I doubt stanchart can take
