This ex-bicycle shop borrower of a very small loan (warning! Do not lend to bicycle shops!) is revealed as being in new employment. Obviously they could afford to make repayments, no matter how long it takes, so this guy should be sued if he does'nt pay up.

Rest assured it does happen, as this couple of very recent updates shows...
Best not to ask about the saga leading up, especially 6521 (downgraded March, defaulted May), but it does happen...

I seem to recall that I recently had a (different) bicycle shop go late, can't remember the loan number, perhaps they've now paid. Does that mean that bicycle shops should now be categorised amongst solicitors, wine merchants and assorted trumpet-crushers?

Yup, bike shops generally take you for a ride!

Ah, found it now. I was thinking of "E" 16388 who coughed up yesterday after a spot of lateness. Re-homing in progress.

I like 16388. I'm sure they can sell enough penny farthings in their neck of the woods.

At least you have about 18% until the next repayment is nearly due, before you must say 'on your bike, loan parts!' Group noun, a peloton of bicycle shop loan parts, coming your way.

I said no bike shop loan would ever default. Spoke too soon.
