It's always shameful at times when you sell your asset to pay off loan. I have a friend of mine that took a loan of 250k, though he had the money with him to pay off the loan, he didn't because of the problem he had. When it was overdue, the lender couldn't exercise more patience, since you didn't pay off the loan, the lender took some of his belongings like television, gas cooker, even his laptop.

Let's briefly discuss about this.

If you have taken out a loan and are having difficulty repaying it, selling your assets could be an option to consider. This can be an effective way to generate the cash needed to repay the loan, but it's important to carefully evaluate the advantages and disadvantages before taking this step.

Here are some things to consider:

ADVANTAGES

Selling your assets can provide a quick way to generate the cash needed to repay your loan.
It may help you avoid defaulting on your loan, which could have serious consequences such as damage to your credit score or legal action by the lender.By repaying your loan, you can avoid accumulating additional interest and fees.

DISADVANTAGES

Selling your assets can be emotionally difficult, especially if the assets have sentimental value or are important for your future plans.
You may not be able to sell your assets for their full value, meaning you might not generate enough cash to fully repay your loan.
If you sell an asset that has appreciated in value, you may have to pay capital gains tax on the sale.
If you decide to sell your assets to repay your loan, make sure to do it strategically.Identify which assets are least important to you, or have lower value, and try to sell those first.

Additionally, try to get the best price you can by researching the market and potentially consulting with a professional appraiser or broker.

Finally, be sure to communicate with your lender and make arrangements to repay your loan in full as soon as possible to avoid further interest and fees.
