If the microfinance platform you borrowed money from fails, whether you still need to repay the loan depends on the loan contract and local laws. In general, the loan contract is a legal agreement between the two parties, and you are still obliged to repay the loan in accordance with the contract.
However, when a microfinance platform goes out of business, there are a few steps you can take:
Check the loan contract: Read the terms and conditions of the loan contract carefully to understand the terms and conditions of the loan contract regarding debt default, platform failure, etc., to determine your rights and responsibilities.
Know your local laws: Know your rights and obligations in this situation, in accordance with local laws. Some laws may protect the rights and interests of borrowers, such as providing some kind of compensation mechanism in the event of the bankruptcy of the borrowing platform.
Contact the relevant authorities: If the lending platform fails, you can contact your local financial regulator or consumer protection organization for advice and support in the situation. These agencies may be able to provide guidance and assistance to protect your rights and interests.
Seek legal assistance: If you are borrowing a large amount or involve more complex legal issues, it is recommended that you consult a lawyer or legal advice provider for legal assistance. They can provide you with professional legal advice and help you develop an appropriate enforcement strategy.
Still, each situation is unique in its own way, and it's best for you to consult a professional to get accurate and comprehensive advice based on your specific situation.
