Person A lend money to Person B an amount of money exceeding to 500,000 pesos. Initial charging of 100K a month for 5 months and then followed with 10% per month . However, person B was not able to pay anything. The following year Person A continued to charged 10% a month. Person B gave Person A a certain amount of 18K only due to non collection from Person B's business. By end of that year, Person was forced to make a promissory note to pay 3% monthly to appease Person A. The following 2 years despite of updates of the business, no payment has been made by Person B. After three years passed, Person B was able to get something and paid more than 100K to Person A. The following year, Person B paid again another 100K and paid another 50K after a few months. With good intention, Person B is updating Person A of the current business situation and expresses intention to pay as soon as collection is big. The money according to Person B is being rolled and collection has been very slow. Person B hopes to get big orders the following year and intends to pay
Charging 36% interest a year for a personal loan is indeed overcharging. Is there any good advice how Person B who has a good intention to pay be freed from overcharging and be charged of what is proper in the law with maximum 15% interest annually. This way person B can arrange for a monthly affordable payment. Can this be possible and what actions should Person B do to make this happen? No legal interference has been made up to the present but Person B is considering getting legal help to ease this problem.
