Hi Attykalibre,
Ever heard of Cashlending?
I’ve been borrowing from them until my last loan that was due last 11th of Jan 2019. Sadly, I wasn’t able to pay it on time it was over due for 2 days when I received a text message from them. They are harassing and threatening me that they will call or text all my contacts to tell everyone that I don’t know how to repay my loan. I already paid it last 14th but I would like to ask if I can file a case against them for harassing and threatening me.

Magandang gabi po attorney,
Maari ko po bang malaman kung may danyos po na matatanggap ang biktima ng panggahasa kung manalo o matalo po ito sa korte? At pati narin po kung anu ang nakatakda sa batas na halaga.
Paano naman po kung handang makipag areglo ang bawat pamilya para sa kasong ito. Anu naman po ang karampatang halaga o mga kasunduan na dapat italaga kapag nagkarun ng aregluhan.
Pagpasensiyahan niyo na po kung masyadong sensitibo at walang puso ang tanung na ito ngunit ang mga sagot ninyo katanungan ko ay isang napakahalagang impormasyon para sa pamilya ng biktima sapagkat kahit na isang kahig isang tuka ang sitwasyon nila, pinipilit nilang kitain ang bayad para sa paglilitis.
Atty, itatanong ko lang po about sa surname sa birthcertificate, all this time po ay ginagamit ko ang surname ng tatay ko kahit hindi sila kasal ng nanay ko, may kasama pong affidavit ng pagkilala ng aking ama ang birth certificate ko dati, kaso po itoy nawala na, kumuha po ako muli ng birthcertificate kaso apelyido po ng nanay ko pala ang nakalagay dito, wala npo akong contact sa tatay ko at bata palang ako ay nasa abroad na sila kasama ng bago nyang pamilya. Lahat ng legal na papeles ko ay naka lagay ang surname ng aking ama, ano po bang mas makabubuti? Ang sundin ang birthcertificate ko or ang gamitin parin ang surname ng tatay ko? Balak ko din po kasing mag pa passport, anu po ang ilalagay nila bilang surname ko? Yung sa bc po o yung nakagisnan kong apelyido?
attorney tanung ko lang po ano ano po ba ang mga pedeng ebidensya na pedeng gamitin pag magkakaso ka ng adultery sa babae
