And they cannot offer you a loan themselves? What I'd do is get a bank account from FNB and then get a loan either through them or some other bank. Stay away from loan sharks. But if you really want to get burnt, buy a Sunday paper, they advertise in there.
Hi Geriatrix,
I do appreciate the advice but, no Bidvest do not offer loans at this stage, No I cannot get another bank account with another bank because in order to get a loan I then need to produce 3 months bank statements to show my salary going in and I do not have 3 months and I have looked in the Sunday Times, I did not find anything. Unless you mean a different sunday paper, I live in cape town
As far as I can see you have already exhausted most of the regular lenders. All I can suggest is that you offer a written and notarised commitment to pay your creditor a set amount each month until the debt is cleared. If you have no assets, there would be no point in him suing you for the debt, as if it ends up in court, the magistrate will find out what you can afford and make this amount an order of court.
No doubt you have considered this, may I suggest you approach a financial person like an accountant and ask him to draw up a schedule of payments that you can offer your creditor/s.
Unfortunately I am currently unable to offer you the money as I am already owed quite a bit for loans to other people at present.
I am starting to become slightly suspicious.

No, go see a qualified financial adviser. No one here knows you or should give you a personal loan.Chris,

Very suspicious. I think he wants someone here to give him the cash.You and me both.
Excuse me sir but I do have a payslip, no-one asked me for one here that I recall.Very suspicious. I think he wants someone here to give him the cash.
He has no family, no other bank account, no payslip (though employed?).
I smell a con here. I think the mods should delete this thread.
Sounds fishier with every post. Dude, I'm pretty sure FNB will open an account for you with just your pay slip. Then you can apply for an overdraft or personal loan. It may not be as much as you need immediately, but it would certainly help if you're as desperate as you say.
Just drive around, I see everyday posters advertising cash loans, or is it a Jozi thing? Lots of pawn shops also have schemes going. Same with second hand car dealers, running cash loans on the side.
The problem with R22,000 is that you cannot really offer something in return to be kept for a while, like jewellery or furniture etc. Or can you? If you can, visit the pawn shops and second hand dealers in the shadier parts of town.
