      Dear Lilian,
      first of all, thank you for your effort !

      Could I ask you whether it's certain that the money was paid out, and, if so, why Sammy objects to paying back at least that amount+the transaction fee (the interest to be settled as a separate issue)?

      Please advise,

    i would like to pay the amount 52,462 to settle the loan at once because of the high interest charged i have tried to ask for any help from Zidisha and it is all in vain so i have decided to settle this loan and latter apply the loan with interest which i will be comfortable with. Thank you very much for the good work you are doing. Once again Thank you.

      Hi Sammy,

      Do you still have any efforts to settle the loans ?
      If you have good and positive attitudes to payback, I will support and give you more hopes.
      Thank you.

        I also agree to lower my rate; what do you suggest?

        Also, when do you plan to pay back the 52,462 shillings?

        All the best,
        Mårten

    Dear Lenders,

    my name is Roberta Zenere and I am a Kenya Country Liaison Intern at Zidisha. Within this role, I am coordinating the Zidisha's MPESA team, responsible for processing loan repayments and disbursements.

    Today, while reviewing our accounts, I noticed that a loan repayment of 5,273 KES (61.20 USD) sent by Mr Gitau on July, 08 was not registered in his repayment schedule which has been updated accordingly. This means that Mr Gitau has never missed to repay his monthly installments and, as you can see, he is very committed repaying his loan.

    Mr Gitau, we are sorry for this inconvenience and we wish you all the best with your farming!

    Best regards,

    Roberta
    Zidisha Team
