I mean, we weren't forced into it. We were just told we'd be homeless (or some other stand in for poverty) if we didn't.

Now a lot of people with loans are in poverty because of them. We weren't forced into them is only technically true.

Duress is also a good word. "Sign this loan or you'll be sad and poor forever".

Be civil and nice.
Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
