In a video, the unnamed young lady lamented as she explained the delicate situation she is in after being disqualified from accessing MTN Ghana's Quick Loan service.
The Ghanaian lady stated that she took an MTN Quick Loan, and with the deadline approaching, she went to a Mobile Money agent, who is a close acquaintance of hers, to borrow GH₵1,000 from the agent, which she intended to repay later.
Her plan was to settle her debt with MTN Ghana and then take a new loan to repay the GH₵1,000 she had borrowed from the MoMo agent. Sadly, things did not go according to her plans.
Narrating her ordeal, she claimed that immediately after she settled her debt, MTN informed her that she was no longer qualified for another loan. This has left her in a desperate situation, unable to repay the MoMo agent.

Reactions to lady's outcry on loan service
YEN.com.gh collected reactions from Ghanaians who watched the video on X. Some of the comments are below.
@Nanaezze wrote:
"This matter eh. Only MTN fit tell us how their 'loan Algorithm' dey work."
@ticklefari said:
"Tell her to try again today, and MTN shall credit her account."
@BigmanPsyche commented:
"How can you depend on a loan and be taking someone’s money to pay the loan that you took? Even if you are eligible for the next loan, how much would you have gotten on the 1k you borrowed and are planning to take from MTN? Make it make sense."
@Na_naYaw_ suggested:
"Never pay your MTN loan before the due date. If you pay earlier than the due date, they think you're better off, and there's no need to give you another loan. 👉🙂"
@Elikem_Codda commented:
"The loan company is not owned by MTN, and the fact that you borrowed money to pay the loan shows you don’t really use MoMo, and MTN knows when they increase your loan amount on your next loan, you won't pay back! I advise she sells her smartphone."
