Barrister Atanda 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’ but cautioned that the decision remained in their hands.
“My dear you sort it out now cos it will not stop increasing which will affect your credit score so badly and you will out from many opportunities in future… They wi bring it down it down to 50% for you. That’s the only option and they may also not agree to your plea. It’s their right. They have the power to accept or reject your plea…”
