Ang Probinsyano Rep. Ronnie Ong on Friday called out credit card companies for allegedly harassing clients with unpaid balances amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We are still in the pandemic where life is hard and the issuing banks are not focusing on the issue at hand but are even going after other unrelated accounts, loans and properties of the helpless consumers, effectively shutting down their other financial means,” he added.

The initial 30-day period was automatically extended whenever the ECQ period was also extended, Ong noted. Ong said banks should uphold the basic right of the transacting public to be informed of the correct amount of credit card balance and to be given a clear breakdown of their unresolved payments instead of resorting to harassment.“These banks are also affected by the pandemic and they need money, we know that. But what we are calling for is fairness instead of harassment,” he said.

Business as usual.

Anong party list na naman to! Ibasura na ang party list system, inaabuso lang ng mga bulok sa gobyerno.

Name these banks and collection agencies. They shame their customers, so shame them too.

Ano po gagawin? Kanino po magrereport?
