    Please start making payments on your loan Benjamin. I cannot relend what is not paid back to me. It is up to borrowers to pay back there loans to give everyone on Zidisha the chance to succeed. You can reduce your repayment amount if needed. It is better to make smaller payments on time rather than miss payments.
