This is serious and I really need help from you guys. Those who knows any Ah Long can you let me know how to get them.
I am about to sell my house but before that I have to settle some pending payments to HDB & TOWN COUNCIL before I can proceed. Fail to settle the payment will result my house being taken by the HDB.
Therefore I need a short term loan and I dont see any problem in getting it from Ah Long.
So any of you who knows any Ah Long please reply!!! Your help is very much appreciated
better dun find ah long because the interest will snowballed
how much u need?
Why cannot get your area's MP to write a letter to HDB and town council to postpone the payments since you are going to get the money by selling your home anyway?
u think find ah long so easy ah
need connections 1 lor
You know credit card interest is 24% p.a. right? Ah long one is 24% per month lei. You sure you wan ah long eh lui ma? I think if you just request for an appointment with one of the HDB staffs to talk about this can gao dim liao.
try GE MONEY
gee my house is gonna be taken away by HDB soon...stupid adults...
From living in a 5room flat dunno live in wat flat also...
is this even in the right forum?
I need to loan 5k only for short term the interest rate is not a problem now as somehow I will manage to settle it once my house sold. I won't have enough time to go to MP now... Days are counted for my house to be taken. So for those who has the Ah Long contact... Please please let me know immediately
HDB & town council will not take away your flat if u tell them u got no money to pay & u intend to sell your flat. They can work something out. If u owe any company $$, like singtel, etc, u can also call them to work out something.
suggestion on how to get 5k in a few days:
- pawn all ur jewelry
- sell all the expensive things in ur house
- borrow fr ur relatives and friends (be thick-skinned)
- take on extra part time or freelance jobs that can pay u immediately
borrowing fr ah long is stupid, because u're just repaying one debt, and setting urself up for another big debt to pay off. especially since the interest is abt 20 percent.
have u tot abt what will happen if u suddenly need the money fr the sale of the house for smth and realise tt u can't pay back the ah long?
then how? the loan will snowball, u know? are u gg to borrow fr another ah long to pay the first ah long?
the fact tt u may actually lose ur house already shows tt ur old method of managing money sucks.
i suggest u stop trying to solve ur money probs by adding on more money probs.
try the first few methods i mentioned to get ur 5k. and after tt, go find a finance counsellor who can advise u on the proper way to deal wif financial matters.

borrow from friends/relative. the best
U will be screwed anyway with a loan.
u need to tok to ur MP, not ah long.

>>> To those who type the above (READ: CATHYKITTY), not all who got stucked with financial situation caused by their own stupid act. I don't have to elaborate all this to you... Though I appreciate your thoughts, but don't JUMP to conclusion.
Secondly, if everybody has lots of jewellery or if everybody's relative willing to help, they'll be nobody involve in Ah Long... I guess one day when you are in desperate needs you will understand what I'm trying to say.
To the rest... thanks for advice/idea/consent/thought (whatever you all might call it) I appreciate it...

but to borrow from ah long is not really a gd solution because after that u will be burdened by a lot of trouble in returning the debts. there are other options, like talking to MP, or even neogiating with the town council or sumthing like that. seriously u do not want to consider borrowing from Ah Long
no the best solution thats for sure, 1stly, ah long repayment will have to be weekly, can you service that? at 5k repayment should be 6k and base on their usual practise you'll have to pay them ard 500 weekly at least.. can you afford that before your house is sold? also these days ah long wouldn't wanna give loan to just abt anybody and worst if you're looking for 5k, hardly any ah long would me willing to loan you that amount,
take their advise and get your MP to come into the picture, if you can sell your house at the soonest possible time there is no reason why HDB wouldn't take it since they have the 1st take to your payment if you have a wirtten agremment with them..
if you need property agent then maybe more ppl ard here can help...
hope you resolved your problem soon...
Cheers

sorry man. i suppose i did jump to conclusions.
let me ask u one question: if u have a son who is in financial trouble, will u encourage him to borrow fr ah long?
>> I guess one day when you are in desperate needs you will understand what I'm trying to say.
how u know i've nv been in similar situation before? u also jump to conclusion hor?
i know very well what's the impact of borrowing fr ah long on a family. it is frightening for family members, especially if u have creditors banging on ur door at nite. but i dun suppose u will understand, until u have experienced it for urself.
if u dun wanna listen, and are so selfish to not consider how borrowing fr loansharks will affect ur family, then u hao zi wei zhi. but dun regret when ur family members lose their respect for u.
it doesn't even matter tt u can pay them back promptly. the fact is, they are illegal. if u dunno how to solve ur problems thru legal means, u borrow once, next time when u have financial crisis (touchwood la), u are likely to borrow fr them again.
i really hope u dun have children of ur own now. i wonder what they will tink of a father like tt.
Seriously, I think you should still get with your MP.
He's there for a reason.
alternatively try GE money or james..
new paper got alot of advert on loans, check those out....
