> why they should not receive a loan from the bank for the newest iPhone
Excuse my snarkiness but as someone who's been poor and needed a phone, I'd have got a loan to buy a 2nd hand phone if anyone would've given me one. Trouble is, both the companies providing the phones, and those providing the loans seem to prefer that I get the brand new one.
- sdoering 5y agoI am not talking about reasonable needs here. I am talking about people who are Cleary feeling entitled to receive loans they know the can never repair and would not even be willing to try. I myself had to live on 345 Euros a month for quite some time. And even longer was living below what Germany considers the amount of monthly income that one would qualify to not be called poor ("Armutsgrenze"). I know the feeling and hear you. The only difference is that I could not even get a contract as no telco would find me creditworthy enough. Needed to do prepaid and see how I would get any old mobile.
