Dati po akong domestic helper sa Hong Kong, nangutang po ako sa bangko sa halagang 30,000 Hongkong dollar. Nakapaghulog naman po ako mga 3 beses payable siya in 15 months. Nagkasakit po ako kaya napilitan akong umuwi ng Pilipinas at hindi ko na nabayaran ang inutang ko hindi din po ako nakpagpaalam sa bangko pero sinabi ng friend ko na reference ko na naterminate po ako that was year 2018. So from 2018 and present hindi po ako nakapaghulog sa utang ko. Eto lang pong 3rd week ng February nakareceive ako ng demand letter, first letter na nareceive ko since 2018 na yung inutang ko ibinenta na ng bangko sa collection agency dito sa Pilipinas. Within 7 days dapat daw mabayaran ko yung outsatnding amount kung hindi kakasuhan ako ng republic act 8484 (fraud against creditors). Yung naiwan na inutang ko nasa 20,000 hongkong dollar ngayon dahil sa interest umabot na daw ng 63,000 hongkong dollar plus 30% pa daw na fee and other charges na hindi pa nasama. Hindi ko alam kung paano ko mababayran ngayon dahil sa wala pa din ako trabaho at balak ko palang ulit magapply sa ibang bansa this year. So ang ginawa ko po ay nagemail po ako sa bangko sa hongkong nakalagay po kasi doon sa demand letter, nakiusap po ako na gusto ko isettle yung hiniram kong pera pero wala ako kakayahan na bayaran lahat yun nakipagsettle ako kung pwede kahit monthly basis at sana tanggalin na ang malaking interest hiningi nila ang details ko at contact number. Tnawagan po ako at sinabi na kailangan ko daw bayaran lahat ngayon na yung sinabi nila na 63,000 hongkong dollar sa demand letter kanina lang po naging 96,000 hongkong dollar na at pinapabayaran lahat sakin. Nakipagusap po ako pero ayaw po nila dami ko daw reason kung wala daw po ako work hindi na daw nila problema yun basta dapat daw bayaran ko na ngayon kung hindi yung abogado na daw ang pupunta sakin at maniningil. Halos ayaw po ako na magsalita makinig daw ako kasi mahal daw ang long distance call basta nasabi na nila na bayaran ko lahat at ideposit sa banco de oro account nila. Nakiusap ulit ako na kahit monthly ang ihulog ko sa halangang kaya ko pero hindi daw nila babawasan ang interes kahit daw magbayad ako buwan buwan pero everyday nagiiba ang amount kasi hindi daw magstop yung interest baka sa isang araw 100,000 na daw lahat. Sana po mabigyan nyo ako ng advice ano po dapat ko gawin kasi kakasuhan daw ako ng criminal case under republic act 8484.

Hindi po ba doon po kayo nangutang sa bank of Honkong wala po kasing jurisdiction sila dito sa ating bansa if nandito na po kayo. Maaring may mga collecting agent ngunit sa opinyon ko doon sila dapat magpafile ng kaso sa inyo. Ang magagawa lang po nila ay magsesend ng demand letter sa inyo po. However, sa Hongkong maaring blocklisted na po kayo doon. Anyway, you will know if you have a case filed for you dahil makakatanggap po kayo ng subpoena ng korte po.
