    Hi Franmiguel & Andyfletcher,
    I phoned Violet today at 10.41am but my call went unanswered. When I last found her on phone, on 9th June, she explained that she imagined her loan was paid off. I suspect that she was assisted in applying for the loan and got to be told her loan address (she communicates with Z through SMS only). Therefore, I checked for her the loan balance and texted her the details. She then promised to restart repayments as soon as she can.

    Thanks.

    I phoned Violet 5 times today. Her number is hardly available. It only went through once and the call went unanswered.
    I will keep trying and update you on Violet's progress. Thanks.

    VM Shehi.

    By the way, for Americans who have not run across this before, "saloon" is an alternate spelling of "salon" as in "beauty salon". If you look under "about my business" you will see that she is running a beautician's place, not selling liquor! This spelling is very common in Japan, and it is in British dictionaries as such.
