They lend the umbrella just for sunny days. They grant to business with over than millions of dollar in their bank accounts and they forgive it. But our home ceiling collapsed on my family head in winter ice disaster and Fema refer us SBA and they denied the loan because they worry about pay back. I have a kidney for sale if someone interested.

High interest rates and compounded daily. You have little to no chance to pay it off and if you do it’ll be 2-3 times the original loan. During the time of national disaster you’d think that they would actually try to help instead of laying traps to lure those who’s trying to keep their businesses open and food on the table. There has to be something done.

Sba approved and tried to fund my account back on july 28 I had the wrong account number I had been waiting since July 28th for them to change my rt and acct number and then when they came back with alot of additional information in order to change it and I had already contracted since july 23rd. So finally I told them to cancel cause I lost everything. Sba is not here to help the people.
