Finalise laptop payment & buy more accessories for talkies

Purity    Aug 12, 2021

I've been receiving invitation to adjust repayment amount,but the tab does not show any lesser amount than what I have already chosen 860/-. I'd appreciate your assistance please to allow me adjust the amount lower.
Thank you

Purity    Jun 10, 2021

I have experienced slow sales and delay in payments due, hence this request to reduce the instalment amount. I'm hopeful the situation will change soon for the better.
Hoping for your favorable consideration for the same.

Dear Lenders, the tech error is finally cleared and I have received the disbursement.
I will use the funds to boost purchase of accessories for talkies to resell.
Once again I thank you all and will endeavor to repay on schedule.

Dear Lenders,
Many thanks to all for funding my loan. I am NOT hesitant, but I am experiencing 'server error' and when I managed a log in, the "pending borrower confirmation" tab is non responsive.
I've posted my experience on the borrowers' discussion and it seems there are others with the same issue.
I await for the management to check it out.
Thanks again and best regards.
Purity

Hello Purity,
saw your 'like' for one of my comments on the forum - hadn't heard from you in a long time. How are you doing? You still in walkie-talkie business? The current loan shows as 'expired'? Hope you are not having technical difficulties.

• Purity    Oct 27, 2020

  Greetings Joshi, trust you are well and keeping safe. Many thanks for checking on me. I am very much here but I purposed not to borrow for now. My walkie talkie biz is still standing and I thank God. It is not easy time at all coz many many markets here are still depressed due to COVID-19. Small activities are back and I'm also trying to hustle here and there, not just talkies.

Greetings,
Kindly allow me to use this platform to record my appreciation. A while ago one of my lenders posted here he was ready to help me with some small bench tools to use in my repairs workshop. (I buy and re-sell walkie talkies and if repairs are necessary, I do have a regular technical guy who takes care of this area)

Don macDonald has indeed come to my aid and sent a box of tools all the way from Canada to Nairobi Kenya- I acknowledge having received these very handy tools, all intact and now in use. Having 'met' him on this Zidisha platform, I do feel it's appropriate for me to record this here - And being able to do the work better because of this kind of generosity is one thing I do not take lightly and I am really grateful...I could keep repeating this because it is so very true...
But Thank you again and again Don, thank you all my Lenders, thank you Zidisha pioneers. May we continue to uphold one another in this 'small' globe.
Keep well and may God watch over you all!
Purity

  Purity - I appreciate your message so much. But really - you are the one making things happen. I am so pleased to be able to help a responsible entrepreneur like your self take risks & manage a small business in your community.
  
  I very much hope your business positively effects your new & future customers.. your suppliers.. your employees and even the person down the road where you buy your groceries or take a tea break. This is the enormous power of micro loaning.

Hi Lenders, I just wanted to keep you updated....Finally this laptop is now fully mine: many thanks to all of you for funding my loan which partly paid for it. It has come in really handy in my work. I am almost in the clear, with the last loan instalment in a couple of days. Thank you again.

• Joshi    Jul 9, 2019

  That's nice :-)

Prior to your reply of my complain of 21/04/2019; it hurts so much to hear that the Credit risk is not refundable for every new loan; for example the one i received on the same day was Kshs. 165,000; after all the deductions:
(i) Credit risk Kshs 49,000;
(ii) Interest fee Kshs. 8,900
(iii) Expedite Fee Kshs. 8,900

The money sent to me was Kshs. 99,000, now I ask why the Credit risk is not refundable and am supposed to repay the whole amount of Kshs. 165,000; tell me.
Okay go back to my loan repayment and disbursement; you will find that I paid that credit risk as deposit some years back incase i defaulted, but up to today I have no any loan arrears. What will happen to that amount i paid? I will want that money to be refunded for I had paid it before 16/12/2018 and no alert was given to me so that i could decide what to do next.

The above was about the Credit Risk amount. this now is to want to know why i was not offered the amount I was expecting of Kshs. 216,000 plus invitees bonus of Kshs. 6,000; why the pattern of qualifying a higher was changed all over sudden? Before we used to receive half of the previous loan as loan increment if one attained over 90% repayment rate. Mine was 95% , how come my current loan only increased by Kshs. 21,000?

I think justice did not prevail I hope also that you reconsider my complain so that my right of qualifying for Kshs. 216,000 be seen for the rate I reached was higher than the minimum needed.

Kindly waiting to hear from you.

The income from sales has been dismal especially last 2 months. The previous loan and part of my current loan was to purchase a laptop for work and not stock for re-selling which contributed to rather low monies coming in, hence this request to reduce the installment.

Purity    Apr 14, 2019

Dear Lenders,
I wish to record my appreciation to you all for funding my loan. I will be able to clear payment for a laptop I sought for in previous loan and I will add some small accessories for my walkie talkie gadgets.

Taun Stewart    Apr 12, 2019

Good luck Purity!

Purity - very interested in seeing your business continue. I have an electronics back ground & interested in your endevour..

• Purity    Apr 11, 2019

  Hi Don, many thanks for that. Electronics is wide, are you in any specific field. Occasionally I get a regular technician for repairs if need be, so bench tools are very necessary.

    Purity - I *am* an Elect tech. Is there a way you can directly email so I can ask you what your needs are? I can give you my email address. {Moderators please let me know if this is allowed or not.. )

    Purity... can you think about how I may send a package of small tech tools to you from Canada? I have been to Africa before and am concerned that you may not receive them or will have to pay high fees to receive the package.
    Can you tell me what type of tools you could use at your shop? can you tell me what models of radios & accessories you have/ need? If this is easier via email please let me know..

Purity,
in the information about your business, you have mentioned "....schools, godowns, supermarkets, etc; event organizers and sports events." being the clients. Of these, first three would generally have regular use for the walkie-talkie equipment and probably will purchase it.

The last two - event organizers and sports events - probably need it only on ad-hoc basis and may not want to purchase walkie-talkies. For such clients, have you thought about 'renting out' equipment? Rather than spend $$$ to purchase the equipment, they might prefer to spend $ to rent it from you only when needed.

• Purity    Apr 11, 2019

  Hi Joshi,
  Good to hear from you again. Trust all is well. Yes the organisations do buy talkies, but it's not something they will keep buying now and then; so trying to reach out to as many users is the way to go. When it comes to renting it can get tricky in case of loss or damage - I do try to rent out where client should ensure some form of insurance but this seems not very appealing. Anyway its a competitive market and I will up my game. I do have a License from the Communications Authority of Kenya as a Vendor.
  Thanks again, do keep well.
