Leonardo said if found guilty, they may be fined as much as P2 million and imprisoned of up to five years.The official also appealed to those who may have been victimized by abusive lending companies and their agents to seek help from the authorities. “Tayo ay nakikiusap sa ating mga kababayan na kung meron man kayong karanasan sa ganitong pamamahiya, pambabastos, harassment and abusive collection practices maghain lang po ng reklamo sa ating financing company and lending company division,” he said.
