I let someone take out a loan under my name

Hi Atty,

I need advise. I have trusted an officemate and allowed her to take out a gadget loan under my name. She and I went to the mall and got a gadget loan with Aeon Credit Services under my name with a promise of paying it every month for the next 6 mos. She went on awol and refused to answer my texts and fb messages and eventually blocking me in facebook. she never paid the phone debt and now Aeon is after me. our agreement is only verbal and apart from our facebook messages and eventually my message exchange with her husband, ackowledging said debt and making a promise (which never came to fruition) to pay, i dont have any other proof. i know i made a huge mistake but i need to rectify this but i cannot afford to pay her gadget, it is a bit too pricey for me. Is there anything I can do?

Do you know her address? You can file small claims. Also, ask your company kung meron pa syang backpay.

I have 2 addresses, one is not valid. The other one, i havent been able to verify yet. How do i file for small claims? Also, will our company help me out? If she does have a back pay, i doubt they'll just hand it over to me without an express permission from her. What is the normal process for it?

first, you have to know the address.

you need to notify your company of your problem. tell them to notify when she collects the backpay. if your company cares for you, they will help you.

for small claims, you have to know where she actually lives. go to the small claims court (usually MTC), they have pre-printed forms there. you have to pay a filing fee.
