  Umba

  Category: Safe Loan

  Interest rate: 10%

  Umba is a secure loan platform approved by the Federal Government. They prioritize customer privacy and refrain from contacting your phone contacts or guarantors. However, it's crucial to settle overdue loans promptly. Umba is a registered Microfinance Bank and has the authority to report unpaid debts to credit bureaus, potentially impacting your credit score. This could hinder your ability to secure loans from other financial institutions in Nigeria, and rebuilding your credit score may take up to 6 months, even after repayment.

  If you have outstanding loans with Umba, consider repaying them at a manageable pace. You can spread your payments over several months, for example, ₦5,000 per month, depending on your outstanding balance. Avoid rushing to repay all at once to alleviate undue pressure.

  Always repay Umba in installments and refrain from borrowing from other loan apps to settle your debts. This practice may exacerbate your financial situation and lead to further difficulties.

  PALMPAY FLEXI CASH

  Category: Mild Loan

  Interest rate: 35%

  Here’s what you need to be aware of:

  Broadcasting Your Debt: They won't hesitate to notify your contacts via SMS, alerting them about your debt.

  Harassment on WhatsApp: Be prepared for a barrage of harsh messages if you're even a day late on repayment.

  Tight Repayment Window: Their repayment periods are typically short, ranging from just 6 to 14 days, making it difficult to meet deadlines.

  High Interest on Overdue Payments: Their overdue interest rates can escalate fast, anywhere from 1% to 5% per day, which can quickly sink you deeper into debt.

  Reputation Over Debt: Once they start defaming you, paying them back won’t fix your reputation. They've already achieved their goal by tarnishing your name.

  Unlicensed and Defamatory Tactics: Despite not having proper licensing, their primary strategy is defamation — a cheap shot to force repayment.

  Don't Borrow from Other Loan Apps: Avoid the trap of borrowing from another loan app to pay them back. This will only lead you into a vicious cycle of debt.

  Block Their Calls: Use apps like Truecaller to identify their numbers and block their relentless calls.

  Break Free: The best solution? Stop borrowing from them entirely and free yourself from the cycle.

  Take Action: Block them on WhatsApp, and don’t hesitate to report their unscrupulous behavior to WhatsApp and the Google Play Store.

  Stay in Control: You were managing just fine before they came along. Don’t let their tactics harm your reputation or drain your finances.
