At least 50 more clients of online lending firms filed complaints before the Philippine National Police for getting harassed and shamed by their agents.
According to Jun Veneracion's report on "24 Oras," one of the clients, Cherry, had to move to another place after a staff of a funeral home visited her.
He is indebted with P60,000 in 15 online lending applications. He said purported employees of the lending firms have been spreading word that he is a drug lord. The PNP then said the victims could charge the persons harassing them with libel, grave threat, and coercion in relation to the Anti-Cybercrime Law.
