The dangers of illegal loan sharks

A rising number of South Africans are turning into mashonisas due to the tough economic times and high bank rejection rates. According to a report by EBnet, these unregistered lenders are not legally allowed to enforce debts or charge interest. They, however, sometimes use intimidation, violence, or the confiscation of ID cards to collect payments. To stay safe, experts suggest cutting unnecessary spending. They also advise negotiating payment breaks with official banks and only borrowing from registered providers that follow the National Credit Act.
