I haven't applied for loans but I'd imagine if ppl wanted one it shouldn't take long to repay. As a Full Member I can get at $40 max week in my sig campaign. You've given Devawnm367 $118 17 months ago so he should've settled he's had enough time. His last activity's a year ago when he visited the forum. It's possible something happened to him but it's abysmal feeling to know you've had one more loan default.
I see no reason why someone would default on such a small amount of money for a full member rank account where the money can be earned within a month, and based on the OP's explanation, it has given the loan defaulter close to a year now and no sign of a repayment plan has even been made.
I think it might happen because of the health issue and/or the OP is no more on the earth. And/or it might happen for having too many alt accounts and it might not be worth anything to him/her. However the chance of it being too low as the accused person could borrow more money and then could default on the loan.
