Nothing wrong.It is a contract of willing buyer willing seller basis.Centum has a stake in Platinum credit.

If they have not forced you (or anyone) to borrow & have disclosed the terms then do not complain AFTER the money is disbursed.

In legal terms @vvs is telling you that you'll end up in the 'nolle prosequi' box. Terms were disclosed and the client signed the dotted line under no duress. Case dismissed!

Hi,

Maybe you need to give us more details to access whether it is clear to the borrower at the point of borrowing that those are the terms.

Is the rate 200%pa or 16.6% pm.

Most Shylocks do 15% to 25% per month.

For starters i think they are illegal even banks cant recover interest on loans to amount more than the principle.The best place tp deal with them is the courts they cant win even if you signed the dotted line speaking from experience i took bank to courts and they opted for an out of court settlement.

if i were a shareholder at platinum i would pay the chief shylock a % commission for every coin above target; unlucky for me the mido glass is half empty below the dotted line

Give a man a gun and he can rob a
bank. Give a man a bank and he can
rob the world.
The CBK act doesn't quote shylocking in precise terms but by inference.
