The answer

If the loan is interest-based (riba), it is not permissible to proceed with it except in cases of necessity that permit committing a forbidden act, such as someone who would perish or come close to perishing if they do not take it. What was mentioned does not reach the level of necessity that permits the forbidden. Therefore, fear Allah and seek lawful means to fulfill your need; for whoever fears Allah, He will make a way out for him and provide for him from where he does not expect.
