I face the same issue as you. As advised by everyone here, go and make a police report, close your bank account, and ignore/block all their messages/calls and close down all social media for the time being. If possible, change numbers. Install cctv at your door, if can. Never ever pay them anymore.

All they can do is threaten you through texts and calls.

Stay strong and be vigilant.
Hi guys ,

Anyone defaulted payment from UML? I have borrowed from few lenders and now I really can’t pay anymore .
Total about 5k . Everyweek I can just defer and defer as not enough to clear

I just stopped paying them which was due today and they are spamming calls and message now to me and my NOkz

Can advise should I stop paying them .

Will they really come up to my place to collect ?
It’s not legal right and Can i call the police ..
Really need some advice . Very stress

Thanks for the advice . Did yours come up to cause any trouble at your home or office yet ?
I think they will but it’s just a matter of when..

you should make a polis report ASAP and hand over all those account numbers and contact numbers..
Inform your NOK and monitor any suspicious characters loitering outside your unit..

Loan scammers are basically extortionists. You are dealing with criminals. Don't be afraid.

Change numbers, accts , close social media and inform NOKS and install cctvs.

Nothing to fear!

Why are u still using same number to engage them? Change number so they cant play mind games with you.

Hello guys. Just wanna ask if any of you here have engage SALC for their services? They will help to stop harrasment by the ls. If anyone does, can help and share abit of your experience? Cause the fees they charging are quite high.


I did few years ago. It was 500+ i think, that time. I dont know how or what they did. But those people disturbing me actually stopped. But i also reported to the police. And had to go for investigation as well. But so far, all is okay now.

I hope everything goes well with you too

Lol, u sound like u deserve what u have gotten yourself into. Even in difficult times, u do not make decisions logically. Its people like you who keep all these LS alive.

I choose not change number because number got meaning to be. I choose to take harassment for this choice
