    Lydia has always been having a good repayment record but she has constantly been saying that she is going through a hard time financially but she will make an effort this month of October to repay and finish her loan.

    Hi lenders,
    Lydia seems to have forgotten to reduce the amount payable every week so her last repayment reflects on her page but she has not reduced her weekly repayment. I talked to her and told her about reducing so that it can truly reflect what she can be able to pay ata the moment.
