Hi bros,

I will like to ask about LML. If you don't pay them, what will they do? They will send debt collectors to your house and company?

Because my friend said that maybe the law has changed. Recently about 2 weeks ago, he did not pay them and no debt collectors went up his house and office. Only call him and send letters.

Can any bros verify?
Thanks
Ours came for just $800. Daily n many times a day.
Gt force to take from LML by UML.
Police did say nobody can force u but they dont understand the fear.

Due to many gambling faults have begun defaulting up on multiple lenders (not sure if they are same companies)

With the many threats, last night finally there was some activity regarding the threats, one was asking a innocent guy to come by and take a photo of my place.

The other was at 2am when i heard loud thumping on my door, checked my CCTV and apparently it was 2 guys. Called the cops and the 2 guys claim to have received a courier job from lalaland. The job was to courier a laptop to my the opposite unit. Shortly after police came another fellow was knocking hard at my neighbours place also with the same courier instruction.

Apparently they are using these sly tactics to send strangers up and "harass"

Majority are for the same head .. but the police really believe such thing as 2am courier service at this wee hour ? Think u better take this footage to your IO let him investigate it

For me, I call police or lodge police report.

I remember how I dual with them, I didn't owe or borrow anyone.

They stop coming but in the end they scare because of law.

Maybe you can try it.

Definitely a scam. All financial institutions and banks are not allowed to advertise in such manner.

Stay away. I fell for this like most of our bros & sis here. No longer living in fear but not getting too relaxed not knowing when these runners will appear next.

Yes! Everytime something happen my heart skip a beat. Like a mini heart attack. Like now im afraid to go home. I rather hang around outside den at home in fear someone comes knocking.

You are in the fear stage. Do the following:

1. File police reports.
2. Check for public CCTV or put your own CCTV.
3. If any harassment happens, call 999 immediately.

This is the best you can do to stop the harassment.

Do not be afraid, go home, the real culprits never show it, it is only their runners which could also be victims or paid runners, get them arrested so they run out of runners.

Can we say that ppl in condo wont encounter such harassment ?

True … low chance of runner going up to harass you unless your security guards are bo chou type.

But then, LS seldom loan out to ppl staying in condo.

Even if they loan, surely will get a gurantor or your workplace.

There are many ways to harass you, don't have to go up to your unit.

I received them too but so far nothing happen. None of my neigh ours said anything so I assume all is good. Just one of their tactics to scare us and make is pay. They feed on our fears. Fear of losing job, fear of losing face and etc so dont fall for their trap. Dont be afraid. Things will be hard but eventually it will get better.

Goodluck and Jiayou! 💪💪
