    Borrowed 30k. Missed one week. They went through my contacts and called my boss, my sister and somebody I went to secondary school with.

    That is illegal and they do it anyway because almost nobody reports it. Report it. Screenshot everything first.

    The interest is not the trap. The contact list is the trap. That is the whole business model.

    Which is why the first thing to check is what permissions it asks for, before the rate.

    My niece went through this. Took her a year to stop flinching at unknown numbers.
