    I’m still paying my loan from other sources of income as the project I got the loan for was not successful because of the drought

    I am still raising money from other sources as the loan I got for the fish project was not successful because of the drought

    Experienced a severe drought which caused the pond to dry up. I’m committed to liquidate the loan but it will take longer than expected to complete

    I did some farming unfortunately the crops failed because of drought. The fish was stolen, I have taken the matter to the police. I have since engaged another worker

    I am yet to harvest my fish, I’m hoping to do that in three months time.

    I have not harvested yet hence money is tied up. I am therefore asking for an extension.

    I have invested all the money I was loaned in the fish business. Will only harvest after 7 months

    Since I only received the money a day ago, I would like to start repaying after utilizing the money.

    I intend to invest the money into fish farming. With the proceeds I plan on investing back in my business.
    I am grateful for the support and trust from everyone who has funded my project

    The last project I embarked was fish farming. I encountered some hurdles in that the fingerlings I got was a mixture of female and male though I ordered male. As a result they started breeding and the pond was overstocked. Another challenge was that the person who we hired to look after the fish only moved on site when the fish was five months. This gave a chance for the fish to be pilfered. I intend to put up a new pond, ensure that I have male species and get a family to live on the farm

    In as much as I would like to pay the required installment I’m still trying to find my feet after the fish was stolen

    Adjusting the amount to be repaid has been so helpful for me as I anticipated that my investment would help me pay back the loan but alas that has not been the case.

    I was planning on servicing my loan using the proceeds from the fish. Unfortunately we were unable to do so as the fish has been stolen. We put in 3,000 fingerlings and for weeks we have been trying to harvest. I will only have a clear picture when we drain the water.

    I’m unable to pay the installment amount as I have had challenges harvesting my fish. I’m hoping I will start paying regular amounts by next week

    I won’t be to pay the installment as I have harvested my fish yet. Hopefully I will settle a bigger amount next week

    I hope to harvest my fish this weekend so that I clear my outstanding loan. In the meantime I seek to an affordable installment

    I’m unable to pay the installment amount at the moment. I’m hoping to clear the whole amount in two weeks time when I harvest my fish

    I hope to harvest my fish next month but as at now I can only afford to pay a smaller amount

  • Chiluwa    Jul 5, 2023

    I’m unable to pay the installment amount hence my request to pay a smaller amount because I have not harvested my fish yet
