Anyone here been harassed by a loanshark before?

Domestic helper took loans from multiple loansharks, in the process gave them my parents’ mobile numbers and our home address.
My parents replied to the loansharks’ messages initially, but after a while ignored them. The loansharks then started calling them, which they ignored as well.
Not sure what else to do now (we have made a police report), or what to expect.
An ah beng friend says we have to be prepared to endure ah long harassment from runners for the next 1-2 years – is this true?

- Let the police handle it. Install CCTV at your door incase they splash paint on your door etc…
- The loan quantum should not be that high, possibly few hundred or low thousands. Thus unlikely these are “big time” loan sharks, probably just small potato types that use low cost harassment methods.
After making police report, nothing else you can do, maybe can consider changing your phone number, after a while it will stop as they r not getting any additional money and so not worth their effort to harass. |
Is your helper still going to repay them? I read from another forum of a ballsy employer who talked to the loan sharks and manage the helper’s payment plan, every month make sure the helper’s salary go direct to the loan shark to repay lol
