If you're gullible or desperate enough to take out a loan from some pretty obviously dodgy people, then you can expect them to come after you and get medieval on your ass if you don't pay up on time. That's just common sense.

This is exactly what happens in the original Saints Row, where borrowing any amount of money from the First Born Loans company will give you a set number of days within which to return the loan.

As the deadline draws near, two of the loan sharks, Mike and Dan, will badger you over the phone, repeatedly asking where their money is. Ignore them until after the deadline has passed, and all hell will be raised.

Mike and Dan will pursue you relentlessly, and the longer it goes on, the bigger and more destructive their efforts become. You can kill them, but until you pay off that loan, they'll just keep coming back to terrorise you into coughing up the cash.
