    Recommend you ask Zidisha to refinance at lower payments, longer loan period. There is no extra charge. Save your credit rating!

    I have been in touch with Mary Wachinga, things are still tough for her as per conversation. She's asking for patience as looks to stabilize in business.

    I relocated my business after the owner gave me a three months notice for he was to build a storey building. Then I would come back. Relocation therefore has affected me as customers aren't able to come to where I am.

    Hello lenders.
    I have contacted one of the referees of Mary (Hannah Nyambura), and finally was able to talk to Mary. She has promised to adjust the loan repayment instalments to what she can afford since her business has been low for sometime

    I would like to reduce the amount since the schools closed there has been low income as most parents gets assistance from home and therefore few are brought for caring.

    The business hasn't been usual since end of last year due to political temperatures that have other clients loose jobs from closed companies and therefore being with their little youngs.Although this is for a little while but hopping things will change and economic to rise.
