CBK said that before a charter is handed over for operation by the CBKto any microfinance, they usually assure the CBK that they will operate TRANSPARENLY.
1/
By "OPERATING TRANSPARENTLY" means:
1. Availing THE SIGNED AGREEMENT to the customer.
2. Availing PAYMENT STATEMENT to the customer on REQUEST.
3. Not selling repossessed assets at undervalue and with the knowledge of the customer.
But 98% of the people who have loans do not have a copy of the agreement they signed because some of these #MicrofinanceInstitutions refuse to give them the agreemen.
3/
Read the agreement, understand the terms, if it works for you, go ahead. If it doesn't work for you. AVOID THAT LOAN from these #MicrofinanceInstitutions.

There is this JUDGEMENT from small claims court where one of the #MicrofinanceInstitutions had SUED a customer claiming Ksh. 700k from the customer.
1/
The customer had taken a loan of 1.3M.
Repaid about 900K and defaulted for one month.
The Microfinance institution repossessed the car valued at 2.5M and sold it at 1.5M.
After the #ExploitativeShylocks expose,many victims expressed their willingness to be enjoined in any class legal suit.
90% of those victims complained about MOGO & PLATINUM.
The rest had serious issues with MWANANCHI & MOMENTUM.
Platinum Credit was not helpful at all in my facts finding mission. From the CEO's accounts, it was difficult not to agree with every complaints both employees and clients raised about Platinum Credit.
Eden Bridge were very helpful. The two complaints raised were verified and addressed professionally despite the clients having exaggerated their complaints.
Mr Frederek Bayan took a loan from MOGO against his logbook in 2020. He has been paying the loan for almost a year and a half now.
Last week one of MOGO staff,Mr Christopher Mala Joshua called him & advised he pay Kshs 277,000/ to clear the loan,
After requesting a balance statement,again it came to 279,112.
He cleared the amount via mpesa.
After payment was made, the branch manager assigned a staff member to dismantle the tracker from the car as proof that we had for sure cleared the loan.
When he visited the office again to check progress on his logbook , he was informed that he needed again to pay arrears amounting to 73k.
He was referred to one Mr Kevin who also reteriated that the logbook cannot be released if the amount is not paid.
“Hi Kinuthia, I took a loan of 250,000 from Platinum Credit in 2017. What is so sad is that they have been making 16,000 deductions from my salary till today.”
“Hi Kinuthia, Baron Capital Limited sold a vehicle worth 750k over a loan of 60k despite repaying a total of 125k between April and September this year”
Hello Kinuthia,MOGO harasses Kenyans. It's daylight robbery. You take a loan using your car as collateral. You default even 2k, they come for your car shamelessly. Innocent Kenyans are suffering bro.
