You can say whatever the fuck you want to, and I can disagree with you.  How about that?

Absolutely sir.
Everyone else thinks grifters and loansharks should have free rein to suckering ignorant or desperate people into nasty contracts?
Once libpar is established, I can put out a bid for the manufacture of the security doors on that debtors prison we will need.
Silver lining and all that.

I don't think this deal is "one sided" against the borrower. He didn't even pay back the principle.

And there are a lot of people who think that ANY level of interest is immoral. We can't just pick a number and claim that all loans should be x apr or less.

The only fair interest rate is the one decided on by the lender and borrower.

The fact that some statists will whine about "one sided deals" just shows their economic ignorance. There will always be those who see exploitation in every transaction. If there is any exploitation here, it is due to the default not the interest rate.

PS Would you see this deal as "one sided" or exploitative, if the lender loaned the money at 0%? Probably not. We'd all say, "Oh how nice of Coconut to help out a friend." Not, "OMG! Coconut is being EXPLOITED! AHHHHH!"

Just shows the inherent bias many of us have against lenders.

My experience with dishonest, yet "legal" dealers makes me a bit watchful of contract happy devils. I am not arguing against Coconut, what I am doing is arguing for is a reputation check and balance on both sides of a contract. I don't think having full unquestioning respect for any signed contract is a good idea. To be honest I have trouble getting through those licence agreements on the net. I can have agreed to give up my soul for all I know.
I would be more comfortable with one overseen from a third party arbitrator, if I was looking at a contract between two individuals.
I have no desire to live in a society where the biggest prick will just rise to the top through cleverly contracted graft.

You don't think the biggest prick will lose most of his business when everyone finds out he's the biggest prick?

Of course not. He will go crazy with unchecked power just like almost everyone else does. Get the hired guns, game over.
Human greed is alive and well. Contracts need a third party validation or we will have to have once a decade rich people hunts.

I see a couple of problems here. It doesn't seem as if the parties here had designated an arbiter in case of a fallout. In the contract, it should have been written that "by x time, if the money had not yet been paid back, then the case goes in front of so-and-so third party, with <person> paying for it."

Another thing here is that not all contracts can or should be legally binding. Would you argue that if Coconut could take a pound of flesh from BonerJoe if he defaulted? But but they agreed to it.................... Yeah fucking right.

I think a contract should not be legally binding if it the case that it was written with the intent that the borrower could not understand the terms.

I posted something here I think about that interest rate I think.. in case I wasn't super clear - I don't blame Coconut whatsoever. BJ named the rate.

Coconut expressed his concerns about non-payment and Bonerjoe was up front and clearly expressed Intent To Pay in a forthright and honest and open way.

Sometimes people don't have the money they owe. Good people pay it when they can and make reparations for the additional strain put onto the debt owner. Bad people usually skate town or otherwise disappear. So far Bonerjoe has been behaving in a manner consistent with the first type of person.

Bummer for Coconut to not have his money, of course, but what more can ya do? S'not like the debt is being denied. Dude just doesn't have the scratch.

I don't see the controversy with any of this.

BJ borrowed $10,000. So far he has only paid $7885 back.
Wait... he's paid back nearly 80% of the principal? And he says he's trying to make good on the remainder of the principal-plus-renegotiated-interest?

From OT I'd have thought this was a total-default situation.
It's not.

Seems to me it's a very manageable situation.

What the fuck would a "third party arbitrator" do for these guys?

Arbitrators help settle disputes and there is no dispute.


And what is this borrower didn't understand the terms of the contract nonsense? Hmmmm You borrow $5k (making up numbers) today and you pay back $7.5k in 120 days. How much clearer could this have been?

"Oh, but you don't see that this is a bad deal for the borrower. He's being EXPLOITED! He needs a third party to run his financial affairs because he's TOO FUCKING DUMB to live his own life."

Negotiate a timeline for repayment.
