9Credit claims to be a reputable loan app that allows customers access to superfast cash loans of up to N3,000 to N100,000 without collateral, documentation or paperwork within few minutes of application once the required profile information is provided.
Unfortunately the once popular and trusted online platform has decided to shun good customer service and turned itself to one of the many fake loan apps in Nigeria sending shame and defamatory messages to their customers and their contact lists.
This unethical lending practice is becoming rampant, worrisome and calls for urgent attention from government financial institutions and regulatory authorities. We also take note that the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) have lately been stepping up effort to stem the tides of these illegal loan platforms in Nigeria.

9Credit Loan App Harassment
9Credit Is Evil — Customer Vows To Sue Loan App Over Malicious Messages To His Contacts
Hello VERY SERIAL,
My name is Emeka Yinusa, (not real names). I took a quick loan (7-day) from 9credit on the 22nd of December and by 29th they claimed I was a day overdue and they started sending out malicious and damaging messages to my contacts. This include my business partners and family members who have been calling me, I’m afraid this will affect my business and my aged mother’s health.
This came as a shock to me because this is the 26th time I’ve taken a loan without defaulting and they have made over 100k profit from interest accruing from our transactions. The loan is 35k and the repayment is 43330. 1 day overdue is 1630 which has also been added to it. I couldn’t make the repayment on time because I was hospitalised from food poisoning. I feel with my record I deserved at least a few days given that I’ll also pay penalties for late repayment.
After collecting their money how are they going to erase the damages done to my career and name? They even published my wife’s number, my BVN and account number. This 9credit is evil. There must be a way to get them to cut down these excessively malicious and damaging actions meted out to genuine customers with good records. Nobody deserves this at all!!! I need to sue 9Credit over this defamatory contents.
9Credit is evil, no need to go this length at all. It’s like they don’t care that they are ripping customers off. Subjecting them to less than inhumane traumatic treatment. I hope the FCCPC will put 9credit on their radar for customer abuse
They doxxed my wife by revealing her number unnecessarily to people she doesn’t even know.
See message from 9Credit below:

Lagos Journalist threatens to sue 9Credit Over defamation
An inflammatory and defamatory text message sent to a renowned Lagos journalist,.Mr. Muyiwa Lucas who works with a leading mainstream newspaper, may snowball into a litigation if the lending platform involved fails to apologise in three major Nigerian newspapers in the next one week.
A renowned journalist who works with The Nation Newspaper in Lagos, Mr Muyiwa Lucas has threatened to sue 9Credit, a lending platform hosted on Google Play Store and it’s parent company, OTP Internet Technology based in Lagos, for sending defamatory and blackmailing messages to him on his telephone number this morning.
The lending company, 9credit, on Wednesday morning (today) had sent a blackmailing text message to Lucas’ mobile number intimating him of a loan gone awry given to a certain to one Mr Shola Akinyele.
However, the content of the text does not sit well with the ace journalist, who is now demanding an official apology from 9Credit within 7 working days, failing which he has threatened to drag the loan app and its parent company, OTP Internet Technology to court of law to seek redress.
READ HIS STATEMENT BELOW:
“I woke up this morning to read the text message from 9Credit loan platform claiming my name and number was used as collateral at the time of granting a said loan to one Mr. Sola Akinyele. Did 9Creditt contact me before granting the loan? No! So why sending me this very annoying, disrespectful, embarrassing and blackmailing message over a transaction I’m not privy to?”, a visibly angry Lucas asked rhetorically.
He said it was hightime firms like 9Credit are made to face the consequences of their actions or inactions as a deterrent to others.
Consequently, the journalist has given a 7-day ultimatum to 9Credit to publish an official apology in three Nigerian national Newspapers or face litigation.
See below the infuriating message :
Phone 08024563894 Name Shola Akinyele Good day, the above named person took a fund from NC and has defaulted for several days, broken all contractual agreements that were in place when this fund was taken and has refused to repay the fund and has proven to be a person of questionable character. DISGRACE IS INEVITABLE AT THIS POINT, AND YOU BEING A FRIEND / FAMILY SHOWS THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE AS BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER. YOU WERE USED AS AN EMERGENCY CONTACT. SO, CALL AND TELL THIS INDIVIDUAL to make payment now.IF YOU WERENT INFORMED WHILE THIS fund WAS TAKEN, ASK FOR YOUR DETAILS TO BE REMOVED FROM OUR WEBSITE AS YOU WERE USED AS THE EMERGENCY CONTACT.

9Credit Loan Reviews from Customers and Users
9Credit Sends Spam Notifications – Deborah
A few seconds after I launched the 9Credit app, my phone was attacked with multiple notifications repeating the same messages and calling on me to take a loan. I felt specifically targetted and it was a disturbing experience.
I lost my Job because of 9Credit Loan App – Anonymous
9Credit app made me lose my job because they sent a defamatory message to my boss that I chose him as my emergency contact and guarantor. My boss in turn stated accusing me of using his name to collect loans without his knowledge and I got fired.
9Credit Is Useless Platform That Sends Shame Messages To Your Contacts – Ayofemi
9Credit is a very useless and senseless platform. Once you default on a loan due to one circumstance or another, instead of them to trying to reach you to find out why you defaulted, they will start sending shame and threatening messages to your contacts.
9Credit Is A Bad loan company – Victoria
I will advise the general public never to loan money from 9Credit so as to avoid embarrassment and name calling. I missed my repayment date and message were sent to my contact that I am a thief, dubious, a liar and what pains me most is that, they advised my contacts not to do business with me.
Fraudulent activities – Anonymous
Some of us felt we had built a reputation with 9Credit because we had always paid on time BUT NO! The only time I couldn’t meet up within their time limit which is 7 days, though I had asked them for a few days’ grace, they sent messages to my contacts calling me a fraudster and lying to them all that they’re my emergency contact numbers. Nigerians should avoid the app totally, they are very fradulent.
Conclusion
9Credit app cannot be trusted because the founders and management and office address are not revealed or available and their website do not carry any authentic or legit information. Also the app sends shame and harassment messages to its customers.
Anyone who goes to use this platform would be doing so at his or her own peril. There is so much shady business going on which is unknown to the public and people should beware not to fall prey to dubious loan platforms like 9Credit.
