  1. Hello po!

    Question lang po. If ever may cheke po ako na idedeposit ko po sa ibang bank pero yung cheke po na inissue at nakapangalan saakin ay from the bank na delinquent ako, may chance po ba na mahold po yung cheke ko? Thank you po in advance sa sasagot.

  2. Nakakalungkot naman ito. Robinsons bank ang nagdemanda sakin tapos may papasok na loan kmi sa bpi di kaya kunin na ung deliquent ko na amount? Salamat po sa sasagot. Wla pa nman po notice of garnishment pero may desisyon napo.

  3. Hello :) This blog is very helpful specially to new defaulters like me. I hope this question gets posted.

    1. Is it possible for CAs to share information ng defaulters like home address to other CAs? I have HSBC card na nasa PrimeAlliance na. I changed my address but for some reason nagpunta pa rin sila sa old address ko where I'm currently staying. Sa sobrang taranta ko, inaccept ko ung demand letter and the messenger called someone and pinakausap sakin. Napilitan tuloy ako magbayad kahit di ko pa kaya talaga ung monthly payments na sinetup nila. Ang worry ko, baka ishare nila sa ibang CA ung home address ko and baka mapuntahan din ako ng ibang CA :( I know ung mga diskarte pero iba pa rin kasi ung kaba pag andyan na sila. I also have CC from Security Bank, PNB and recently EastWest na di ko na rin nabayaran.

    2. Today I received an email from PrimeAlliance ulit for Endorsement for Field Visit daw. Nagulat ako since nakausap ko naman na sila ang nasetup na ung payment arrangement and so far hindi pa naman ako pumapalya sa bayad. May nakaexperience na po ng ganito? Nagbabayad na pero may field visit pa ulit?

    Thank you talaga sa nagcreate ng blog na to. I'm always seeing Kinakape, banker, cherry briansurewood na sumasagot sa questions. Sana po masagot nyo rin ung questions ko. Thanks in advance!!!

    1. Do they share info across CA's? Maybe.
      Field visits maski may payment plan na? Probably.
      I hope the money you pay goes to the satisfaction of your debt. Andami ko na nabasa na binubulsa lang ng agent ang bayad.

    2. SilentReader01 here. For some reason, I cant login but anyway share ko lang po update. Dahil sa blog na to lumakas loob ko sumagot sa mga CA. I replied to their email for field visit and kinopy ko si BSP, NBI cyber crime and HSBC mismo. I told them may payment arrangement na bakit may field visit ulit. They did not reply so I called them instead. Ayun humingi ng pasensya kasi automatic daw ung email na sinend sakin like WTF? Nakaschedule pala talaga kung kelan sila manghaharass. Thank you talaga sa blog and admins dito!!! I feel empowered now.

    3. SilentReader01 - Kinakape, ung payment ko po sa arrangment with PrimeAlliance is kay HSBC card ko po talaga binabayad hindi directly kay primealliance. But as I have read here, mukhang sa knila nga lang mapupunta since nabili na ata nila utang ko sa bank. Oh well. At least one off my plate na.

  4. I had a checking account with Robinsons Bank. When the acquisition was announced, I withdrew my money last year and closed the account. Mahirap na.

    1. SilentReader01,

      As far as I know they cannot share that, unless yung mga defaulted banks mo have the same Collection Agency, which happens.

      As for your other question, nakakuha ka ng letter for field visit because some Collection Agencies are disorganized. That might have halpened in error.

    2. @BrianSureWood salamat po sa pagsagot. Nakausap ko kanina si CA disregard daw the field visit email, naka auto send daw kasi sa system nila. I'm wishing na sana hindi sa knila maassign ung ibang cards ko. Or if maassign man, after nalang sana ng payment ko sa HSBC. Di ko kaya pagsabay sabayin.

    3. Meron list ng Collection Agencies at yung mga bank na affiliated sila.

      Google mo yung.List of accredited Collection Agencies 2023.

    1. If I were you, tatawagan ko ang Colectius baka mamakuha ka ng magandang arrangement.

      Kung wala ka naman ibabayad, okay lang. Wala naman sila magagawa.

    2. Contact them and let them know youre willing to settle that is if you have the funds to settle.

    1. Defaulter_E,

      Nope. Di na ko nag-settle. When I was garnished in 2010, I tried to settle pero hindi pumayag yung Collections Agency.

      Yan na lang ang utang na di ko nababayaran. Unless I can figure out a way to settle without raising red flags.

  10. Hi po question lang. Nababasa ko kasi dito na yung mga nafile-an ng case ng BPI ay SP Madrid ang humawak. Meron din akong default pero sa ibang bank naman ay in a period of 5 years, twice na ako natawagan ng SP Madrid. One in 2020 and another in 2022. Naghohouse visit pa nga.

    Ibig sabihin po ba nun yung bank na may utang ako does not pursue cases unlike BPI?

    1. Twice ka lang natawagan ng SP Madrid? Youre lucky 😊

      Delete
    2. Kung 2020 at 2022 lang yan, maaga pa para mag-file ng case. Consider mo din na nagka-pandemic.

      Kung magdedemanda yan, it will either be in the next 2 years. If di naman.magdedemanda, you're lucky.

    3. Actually po July 2018 pa ako last nakabayad sa loan ko, salary loan po yun. Nagdefault na rin at hindi ko na po kinaya. November 2018 unang may tumawag na CA, iba't iba na po CA ang napagpasahan ng account ko eh. Nung May-July 2020 at Sept-Dec 2022 po nahawakan ng SP Madrid. Then, naipasa na rin sa iba kasi wala naman sila nakukuha sa akin. Sa ngayon, Cendana-Neri po yung nangungulit.

  11. Merry Christmas everyone. I just want to share my journey being a defaulter from wayback 2012. I'm in default for Citibank, BPI, SCB, Metrobank and HSBC. It was nightmare and I almost lost my sanity. Almost everyday I received email, letters, text and calls from CAs at kung saan2 na lang nalilipat account ko. Lagi lang ako natambay dito kc ang blog na to ang nagpalakas at nagpatibay ng loob ko. I read all the testimony of all defaulters na nakasabayan ko and I'm very thankful also to banker and ms. cherry for all the advise, I can even talk to banker by that time and siya pa natawag sa akin if I badly need help (thank you so much for that banker 😀) For 11 years masasabi king I surpass all that hardship, wala akong nabayaran ni isang cc, walang nagdemanda, at wala ring home visit na nangyari (bless lang din cguro ako kc sinamahan ko rin ng dasal) For now tahimik na buhay ko wala ng nangungulit na CA kahit inabot na ng millions utang ko I even got Nmax for my hubby thru bank loan, payroll ko sa metrobank di nila pinapakialaman. Kaya mapapayo ko lang sa mga new defaulters wag kayo papasundak sa mga CA, kung di pa kayang magbayad deadmahin nyo muna sila ipriority muna ang pangangailangan ng pamilya, lilipas din yan at magugulat na lang kayo nasurvive nyo na pala ang dilemma na ito. Keep on praying lang always.

    1. Thanks for sharing.
      How much was your total default?

    2. Thanks for sharing your experiences. We may have different and differing diskartes, pero ang bottomline is to ensure we maintain our sanity, focus and well-being. Again, we are much bigger and better than being defaulters.

    3. Hindi ko na matandaan if how much inabot yung total ng cc ko ng madefault but a year ago naka receive pa ako email from SCB na inabot na daw ng 1.1M utang ko 10 years ba nman na mahigit sa laki ng interest at penalty lolobo tlaga ng husto. Hindi ko na lang din iniisip wala nman na akong pambayad kaya bakit ko pa problemahin. Focus na lang tlaga muna sa family needs at wag na silang isipin para iwas stress.

  13. Mejo busy at maraming time si SP Madrid ngayon ha, 1 week ago pumunta tlaga sila dito sa bahay kahit na nacoxontact naman nila ako sa cell ko. Sabi magsasampa na daw ng kaso for my Metro account na nasa Collectius na daw. Sabi ko, wala naman ako magagawa kung yun ang plano nila, wla rin naman ako pambayad. Ayun, babalik nlng daw sila. 2011 pa ako last nakabayad sa Metro ko, nag attempt ako makiusap para mag payment plan pero mukhang ayaw nmn nila saken. Ngayon, eto nanggugulo after 12yrs kung kelan wla na ako lalo pambayad.

    3. Hindi na Metrobank ang naniningil sa inyo, Collectius na since nabili na nila ang account nyo. Wala na kinalaman dyan ang Metrobank.
