That sum sounds like a lot of money to me They quoted such people as being street vendors Etc, who had showed a determination and willingness to repay the Loans !!!! Are these Banks so desperate to lend Money, they have to lend on these kind of criteria Its Insane, and cannot possibly have a good outcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
