Hi, I would like to report some of the online lending that charging unacceptable high interest payable only in 7days! They are not helping Filipino people who are having financial hardships due to pandemic, poverty and medical illness but instead they are making the life of Filipino people more complicated and miserable by scaring people through text messages and calls sending death threats, profanity and false accusations if you are few days overdue. I would like to make an appeal to our beloved higher government to take actions and review to possibly revoke their license.

I would like to show how inconsiderate these online lending. I’m trying to settle my due with PCash they give me until 5pm I was not able to pay at the given time because I am still at work they called me a scammer right away. At 10pm I tried to settle however, it won’t go through I am suspecting that they block the payment for me to pay another late fee for the following day. Their interest and late fee are so unacceptable they are giving a hard time and taking advantage us Filipinos who are struggling financially.

Attached is the screenshot of threatening me to expose in social media after I failed to pay at given time, it’s a violation of privacy act.
