Dear hannah marie phoebe cesista cesista,
Greetings!
Thank you for your request dated Oct 26, 2023 07:42:55 AM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
Your Request
You asked for REPAYMENT OF VALLEY LOAN, ZIPPESO, LEMON LOAN, WOW PERA UNDER GOLDEN KOI LENDING.
Response to Request
Madam:
Kapag na raid po ang isang OLA, ibig sabihin ay meron pong "probable cause" ang isang judge na mag issue ng warrant to search the premises of the company dahil may "probability' na may illegal na nagaganap at dapat mahanap sa premises nito.
Take note, "probability" pa lamang, hindi pa sigurado. Kaya kapag nag raid, sinasamsam ng mga autoridad ang mga bagay na possibleng may kinalaman sa ilegal nna mga gawain.
Pagkatapos ng raid, magpa-file pa ng kasi ang mga alagad ng batas sa Department of Justice (DOJ). Ang DOJ ang magre-represent ng gobyerno sa korte.
Going back to your question, kung meron kang due date, magbayad ng whole scheduled amount due AND on time to avoid any penalty or surcharges. A 1 day delay may cause a penalty.
Bakit kailangan magbayad kung na- raid naman pala? Dahl ang utang na naganap BAGO ang raid ay ayon sa Contract of Loan or Loan Agreement na sinangayunan ng borrower.
Tanging ang mga korte lamang ang puedeng magpawalang bisa ng Contract of Loan/ Agreement at amg mga nakapaloob dito, katulad ng interest rate.

Pinagiingat ang publiko sa mga nagpapangap na registered Lending o Financing Company na nag-aalok magpautang pero manghihingi muna ng deposito (advance fee) sa borrower.
Pagkatapos makakuha ang “advance fee“ galing sa borrower, ay ibo-block o tatakbuhan na sila ng mga nagpapangap na Lending at Financing Company.
Madalas ang panloloko ay nagaganap sa “Telegram” at iba pang social media platform.
Ang biktima ay isasali sa isang group chat (GC) kasama ang mga nagpapangap na borrowers na nakatanggap ng loan sa tulong ng pekeng Lending o Financing company. Madalas, ang mga makakausap sa GC ay hindi Pilipino o tunog banyaga magsalita.
Ipinapaalala namin na ang mga lehitimong lending o financing company ay hindi humihingi ng deposito, processing fee or advance fees mula sa mga borrowers bago magpautang.
Pinapayuhan ang publiko na maging mapanuri, mapagmatyag at umiwas sa mga ganitong klaseng modus operandi.
Huwag umutang o makipag- transaction sa mga ganitong kumpanya.
Thank you for your time and effort in assisting the Commission in our mandate to regulate and supervise lending and financing companies.
