What should I do with my debt to a loan shark?

In the current status of the economy people can not catch up to the needs of an ordinary person. You need to have a home and some savings. I have settled an agreement to loan sharks to get the things that I needed. The loan sharks are charging me on an early date that is not on the agreement that we have settled. Now the debt that I have to them has increased and increaed. What should I do?

    First of all, loan sharks are illegal loaners that the government does not recognize. It is illegal to lend money without a license. If the loan sharks loan lent you the money in a illegal matter, the loan shark has no legal right to collect it and they can't take you to court to get it back. Some loan sharks will threaten you by saying you will be prosecuted and even sent to prison if you don't pay up. This can not happen, an unauthorised lender such as a loan shark has no legal right to recover the debt.

Up to 3% Cash Rebate and 5X TREATS points when Manchester United wins a Premier League match

1% unlimited cash rebate and 1X TREATS Points on all transactions with up to 3% Cash Rebate and 5X TREATS points when Manchester United wins a Premier League match. What is simply mind blowing is the fact that there is the first 2 years annual fee waived while subsequent waivers are at a minimum spend of S$3,600 per year. I recommend this card for Man United fans and non-fans too.

For people who buys groceries at NTUC Fairprice

I recommend the OCBC Plus! Visa Debit Card, for people who buys groceries at NTUC Fairprice (practically every Singaporean who’s not on RedMart). The OCBC Plus! Visa Debit Card offers a decent 4% rebate at NTUC FairPrice, Unity and Warehouse Club if you spend $200 outside of the “NTUC network” that month. If you spend $500, and your rebate goes up to 7%, you also get 3% link points when shopping on FaiPrice On. The downside is that the OCBC Plus! Visa Debit Card has an annual fee of $24. This is waived for the first year and subsequently takes $1,200 of spending per year (avg. $100 a month) to waive.

7% cashback on petrol even in Malaysia

Standard Chartered has several debit cards, and the one you’ll get depends on which bank account you choose. If you plan to bank with StanChart, consider the Standard Chartered XtraSaver Debit Card which is linked to the XtraSaver account. With this card, as long as you maintain a minimum balance of $6,000 in that account, you can get a very respectable 7% cashback on petrol (including in Malaysia), capped at $40 a month. If you have an account balance of at least $200,000, you can get up to 15% but the cap doesn’t change.
