Goodmorning Sir/Ma’am, i have a big concern regarding to my loan online. Are they saying true? The loan tenure is 14days, and i fail to pay on time that ’cause 11days overdue. Someone call and ask me when will i settle the unpaid debt. I said that once i have the money i pay.. And then here is the problem, no permission from me they gathered all my contacts make a call and text to them.. Also , do threaten me my family my contacts that if i not pay them. Their going to file a demand. And also charge me 2.5% per day.. My loan is 6800 and for 14days i have to repay then 9100. Isn’t this enough they already had 2300 charge for 6800 loan? We have no agreement , no contract.. Are they still have the right to charge me and pay my debt with 2.5charge? Thank you and Godbless! Hope i get soon your answer!
Good day po, Atty. Meron po akong salary loan worth Php35,000 sa CTBC. Ang payment po is through checks. Wala po akong checking account so they had me signed their pre-issued checks for loan accounts na post-dated then huhulugan ko na lang po para sa monthly payments ko. Ilang buwan na rin po akong delinquent dahil umalis po sa work pagkapanganak hanggang sa nagpadala na po ng notice ang law office at sila na po yung tumawag sa akin to collect payments. Nag-agree po kami to pay Php2,500 muna pero through phone call lang po and then this month po, they’re asking me to pay Php5,000 kaya lang sinabi ko po na hindi ko pa kaya yung Php5,000. Baka mas mababa pa po sa Php2,500 yung kaya kong mabayaran dahil wala nga po akong source of fund. Then sabi po nila na, kailangan ko raw po talagang bayaran is Php5,000 since naconsider na raw po yung previous payment ko of Php2,500. Makakasuhan at makukulong po ba ako, Atty? Thank you so much po in advance.

I’m in a situation that my mother, purchased this house (subdivision) and its under her name. I’ve been told na kapag patay na daw ang nagpurchase ng house it means fully paid na. Wala daw insurance yung house as per developers. The house still has monthly amortization until 2024. Ang sabi sakin sasaluhin ko daw yung house and it should be under my name. Is it possible parin ba that ma fully paid yung bahay since wala na si mama and I cannot pay for it?

Hi Atty. Limang heir ang maghahati hati sa bahay pero yung yung isa ay ayaw naming kasama sa bahay. Gusto po sana naming ibenta yung bahay pero ayaw po nya.
1.) Tanong ko lang po kung pwede po ba naming iforce na ibenta yung bahay kahit ayaw nya at ibigay nalang sa kanya yung share nya
2.) Pag bawal po yung una pwede po bang hatiin nalang yung lote ng bahay equally sa lima. 1/5 sa kanya at 4/5 sa amin since na sya lang naman problema namin.
Ps. Yung bahay po namin is rights lang po yung papeles
