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.

2% cashback on all contactless payments and 1% on online shopping with no minimum spend

In my opinion, the SAFRA DBS debit card is simply the best debit card. NSF cardholders can get 2% cashback on all contactless payments and 1% on online shopping with no minimum spend. For everyone else, that is non-NSFs, the minimum spend to enjoy these bonus cashback rates is actually $400. But by and large this I believe is worth it in order to reap the full benefits with the card.
