    Thank-you for returning to plan. It continues to be dissapointing that you don't communicate with your lenders, but I trust that the business keeps you busy.

    Written off?

    Could you make a repayment soon?
    You seem to have paid everything till August 6th but now you have been written off.

      I assume that the write-off notification we got as lenders was due to the time that's passed between Mr. Kariuki's last payment and today - that it was automatic after six months.

      So I am hoping that at the next scheduled payment date, we will indeed see a payment!

    Hello Mr. Kariuki. Thank-you for your repayments. Have you been able to purchase the desired digital machine? Has it been as helpful in providing better services to your clients as you expected? Wishing you good health.
