Hi Atty
I would like to seek some help regarding my Salary Loan from a lending company. It was year 2010 of April when I borrowed php25,000 however due to an emergency, I have to resign my company where I previously worked. With this, I was not able to give a single penny to the Lending Company as I have to leave the company a week after i got what I borrowed.
Though I never got the full Php25k since interest and other fees has been deducted from it i informed them that I won't be able to pay for it since I no longer have a job but will start paying if I'll find one and get back to work, and as well pay (if possible) just what I owe them. They told me to talk to their manager and arrange everything through him.
It was year 2011 of November when I went back in contact with them when I first started my Job for me to start paying my debt. They said since it's almost a year it already reached Php75,000, I asked them if they can lower it down as I can't pay for that huge amount of money. They reached to me paying 45k (5k a month plus 1250 interest) I already finished paying them at least 20k in total last Jan. 2012 but I can no longer pay them more than that due to my expenses, was just able to pay them that amount that fast since I gave them my Xmas bonus and ITR just to cover my debts. I told them that I would like to close down the deal already and I will pay 10k to sum it up to 30k as I only borrowed 25k (did not get that full amount.
They insisted that they will allow me to close down the deal if I will pay 20k more before the month ends this March, I told them that I can only provide 10k as that's the only savings that I have. I want to push through paying and closing down the deal, but would it be possible for to just pay what I can pay (10k)they also said that if I won't be able to pay the 20k, they will still accept the 10k but will proceed with filing a case against me.
What actions can I do for this matter?
