"As a result, failure to repay such loans will attract negative repercussions on borrowers' credit reports and could subsequently adversely affect any chance of obtaining loan facilities from other financial institutions and credit providers in future," the statement added.
Earlier, Communications Minister Ursula Owusu-Ekuful warned people who do owe Qwikloan do not want to have their SIM cards registered to avoid settling their loans.
She described the act of the loan defaulters as corruption.
