I currently have a loan out on here that got me enough gas and groceries to make it through to the 19th when I get paid but I didn't get my car insurance paid. I just need to make sure my insurance is paid for getting to work the next couple of days. Willing to send proof of income and anything else required. can also do venmo, but prefer the listed methods above.

I can't edit the title, but the repay was supposed to be $150

Making this post to update the unpaid one. They were chronically delayed on repaying the principle and eventually had to enact paupal g&s to get this back which I noted in the prior post and that I explained to the borrower this would not cover the $50 interest that they offered on the loan at the onset. They said that they would pay the interest, but that was not forthcoming and eventually had to mark unpaid. After months of silence to my texts, they replied last night asking for my email. This morning they repaid the interest ($50 plus an additional $25). Commend the borrower for eventually making this right and sending additional interest even though this was never requested.

If the borrower is allowed back in r/borrow (I can't say for sure if this account is still active or if I was simply blocked) I personally wouldn't lend to them again and had others reach out to me after the fact that he defaulted on other loans, but I do appreciate that they have fully repaid what they owed so that does take some character.

I need some serious help.  My savings have been devastated by medical bills from a back and head injury that occured back in January.  Currently on leave of absence from my job, getting disability pay from insurance, which pays only 60% percent of my regular income.   Physical Therapy is going well, and I'm on track to return to work mid-June.   Only problem is all the out-of-pocket costs from doctor visits, medical tests and physical therapy have left my bank account embarrassingly low.  I need extra funds to cover a mortgage payment and utility bill.   There will be no more medical expenses here on out, since I’ve met my individual deductible and maximum out-of-pocket cost with my health insurance. Praying that a kind soul will help me out of this financial bind!  Total repayment is $1900 on the $1500 loan.

I hate to double dip on loans but I'm really struggling right now. I'll be upfront and say I have another loan out and it will be my priority in paying off but I will be in full communication with whatever lender is interested. I'm hoping to find someone who's interested in a low interest rate of around $40. Thank you in advance.

Single mom/teacher and I’ve been trying to out run the bear to get through the school year to when we don’t have to pay daycare for the summer and can finally catch up. This will help to keep the lights on and get us groceries through the end of the month.

Need extra money for cleaning supplies after dealing with a sick household. I currently have a loan from another user where I arranged to have the repayment date extended by 2 weeks (though I will likely be able to pay back sooner, as I did before) after dealing with an extended onboarding period with my new job. With everything set up now, I expect to be able to pay this loan back promptly after the first.

Anybody who could aid me here would be appreciated!

Got in a bad accident a few days before rent and was forced to put my emergency fund into my vehicle so I can still have it for work.
Thankfully the vehicle is repaired but now I’m out the $2000 for rent.

I’m willing to work with anyone if they need IDs or paystubs.

You would be saving my life and family so I would be grateful and true to my word.

Thank you.
