Laptop computer for work, and a vision check-up

Dear all of my lenders,

Thank you so much, I finally fully repaid this loan. Thanks a lot for the long journey that you gave to me. I have another eyes check up coming up and I can see that I will have a new prescription for my glasses. Thank you so much for 418 lenders who contribute to my last loan. I used some of the funds for my eyes check-up plus buying new violet frame eye glasses+ the lens which the frame broken on last August, fixing my motor cycles which needed new accu at that time, fixing the laptop, partially helping my little sister university education until now and for my business.

Last year, I was more focus on my job because we had a lot of competition and judge course since September 2017 until October 2018. There were a gap between each competition or judge course but the preparation really takes a lot of energy, minds and drama but surely fun things to do at the end. I would gladly having it again and again. Especially on the last September when I learned to prepare all the scoring scheme.

As I have mention few a month ago, Loan for Indonesian currently on-hold because of OJK request. And let me tell you, a lot of online loan are happening in Indonesia since 2017. Some people call them online loan shark, and they are. The debt collector on a lot of illegal online loan are ruthless and quite rude on pressuring the borrower whose late to pay their loan. Few online loan that on the process of registering to OJK are polite in reminding their borrowers.

Anyway, if you have an Indonesian borrower on your list and they are late just recently around November 2018 also before it, that because they are facing difficulty paying with PayPal. I know you can ask the MLF refund, but if you still want to help them, could you please, show them this link for them to be able to pay their loan?
1. www.zidisha.org/forum-threa...
2. www.zidisha.org/forum-threa...

The link above are some of tips/ instruction to pay their installment and an alternative debit bank they can use to be linked to PayPal without for them have to going to the bank, it will be more helpful to others who live on rural area or far away from the big city. Each country have different set of rules regarding PayPal payment. One of people from U.S. told me that they didn't have to be registered to PayPal to pay something, but here in Indonesia, the people need to be registered first to be able make payment with PayPal. And I just find out that PayPal payment is not acceptable in Ukraine; I got that information when I was trying to buy some stuff for my office.
If Indonesian doesn't have a credit card or debit bank to be linked to PayPal, they actually will think to buy PayPal balance from some people or marketplace that sell PayPal balance and it's always with higher rate than paying with debit card.

It's not impossible for them to repay their loan, it just takes long process and more time to be understood then the usual method.

I hope Zidisha will able to lend to borrowers in Indonesia again soon, hopefully with little credit risk if it still exist. I would say that Zidisha much much much better help than those online loan in Indonesia if the borrower use it wisely. And I can tell you that I learn a lot from Zidisha.

Thank you so much for your help.
Hope you all fine and may Allah bless all of us, keep us save and happy wherever we are.

Warm regards,
Fitri Fauziyah
