Once an economic dispute occurs, the lender cannot safeguard this part of the interests.
2. Risk Prevention of Peer-to-Peer Lending: 1) Put on record according to law, and apply for the corresponding telecom business license according to the relevant regulations of the competent communication department after filing. 2) Review the qualifications of lenders and borrowers, the authenticity of information and the authenticity and legality of financing projects. 3) When the peer-to-peer lending platform uses a third-party digital authentication system, it should regularly evaluate the third-party digital authentication institutions to ensure that the relevant authentication is safe, reliable and independent.
Don't trust the loan advertisement easily. Some fake and shoddy advertisements on P2P lending platform entice college students to register and get loans, claiming that they can help students solve the basic difficulties in their study and life at school. In fact, this kind of usury, inducing loans, and increasing the credit line can easily lead students to fall into the trap of "chain loan". Don't believe such advertisements.
