  2. Hi po, need help po. I don't know kung kanino po ako hihingi ng tulong para maibalik yung salary ko na na offset ng Unionbank last February 27, 2025. Alam ko po na against the law ito. nag undergo nko sa BSP Complaint. And kakatapos ng lng mediation yesterday. It was a failed/terminated mediation since hindi kme nagkasundo. Matigas si Unionbank naniniwala sila na walang mali sa pag offset nila ng payroll account ko. pero gusto ko padin ilaban para sa iba na na offset dn ang payroll and nakahold until now. Please help me po banker. Thank you in advance.

    1. Grabe talaga Unionbank. Yung Citibank ko na nagamit ng friend ko once, and admittedly 3k lang niya nagamit (for milk ng baby niya, that's why pinatawad ko na lang) now 22k pa outstanding balance. Tinatanong ko ano transactions kasi hindi din talaga ako aware. Hindi daw nila alam na kasi January 2015 pa yung last transaction. Tapos ayaw magbigay ng installment para mabayaran sila. Ngabigay ng discount na 3.5k pero kailangan ko daw bayaran within the day. Tapos kapag i-un-hold daw nila yung pera at di ako nagbayad tinakot pa ko kakasuhan ako ng banko. Sabi ko edi sa inyo na inoffset n'yo tapos antayin nyo na lang kelan magkaroon ulit ng laman ng UB na yan kasi nagkamali lang talaga ko ng transfer eh kaya na-hold nyo yan.
      Anyway, question po, kapag ba nag agree ako na magbayad sa kanila, yung matitirang balance po ba mag-iinterest pa? Sinabi naman nila na closed na yung account since 2015 pa yun. Willing naman na ako magbayad para matapos na yun kaso ayaw nila installment man lang. Thank you in advance.

    2. Hi @Ms.Optimiste,

      TAMA naman si UNIONBANK and that is even legal yung PAG OFFSET NG SALARY MO. asa terms nila upon getting your credit card sa kanila. Kilala diyan ang BDO, BPI and Unionbank.

      Now, the diskarte ay once macredit ay kelangan matransfer or mawithdraw agad ang pera para hindi maulit. OR KUNG NAFREEZE NA, why not icash nalang and talk to your HR or accounting.

    3. Hi @Mr. Kabado2,

      No po, Unionbank's T&C cannot overrule the Labor Code (wages are protected)

    4. same here garnished by BPI since 2020. Hindi hinonor ni Judge yun request ko for exemption of salary at terminated na daw ang case.

      Delete
    5. your case is similar to Prism Blue - BPI judgement obligor salary held by Land Bank which was eventually lifted; hinde na pursue after working on its "victory" to my dismay.
      I'm still awaiting update on another one who promised to pursue filing a case against LBP.
      if interested, e3u73f5qu@mozmail.com

    6. Yes sir antayin ko din paano magfile ng case against manager ng LBP. Umiiwas ata sila baka balikan sila ng court pag nirelease nila yun salary na naka hold.

  6. Email ng Unionbank sakin, mukang wala na ko mapapala sa trabaho ko.πŸ₯² di rin nagrant yung request ko sa HR na magchange ng payroll account dahil exclusive daw sila kay Union. Pwede lang daw i'grant if si UB na ang magsabi na need na iclose ang UB account ko. Naisip ko magresign na lang kung wala na din naman pala ko mapapala sa trabaho ko.😭

  8. Hi! I would like to ask advice. Mycredit card ako sa bpi. It so happen na my pension is also with bpi. Maaari bang maoffset nila ang pension ko para pangbayad sa utang ko? Pls enlifhten me
    Thanks

  9. Hello po! I just want to know kung tama po ba yung iniisip ko.

    Meron po kasi ako CC Loan sa BPI back 2023 and nasa collections na sya. Although nasa 80k++ lang yon (BPI + Subs), kinakapos pa rin po kaya di nakakapagbayad. Ngayon po, sa magiging new employer ko, BPI yung preferred bank nila sa payroll.

    Considering po yung ROSO ni BPI, may effect po ba yung payroll account ko? Kahit na nauna yung delinquent ko bago yung account.

    Thank you po sa makakasagot.

  13. Good day Mr.Kabado at banker! Last may, nakatanggap ako ng writ of execution. Tapos kahapon, nakatanggap ako ng letter from one of my banks with deposit. Nakahold na sya. Also, pati ba gcash/maya, kaya nilang kunin? Meron din lupang nakapangalan sakin at sa kapatid ko, makukuha ba nila yun? May case na ba na nakuha yung lot/property due to garnishment/levy? Salamat ng marami. Nadedepress na ako.

    2. If the my deposit is on hold, does it mean that this is for garnishment already? After magarnish, can I use my account again, or should I opt to create a new account?

  14. Hi, i know its already weekend. i have back read most of the posts here and learned a lot. I just have some questions. I know this is wrong, but im starting to find a way to get away from this mess and circle of life (work-pay bills). I currenty have 3 CC and I pay them good, some in full and some just MAD, nevertheless, im always on time. I want to use my card in bad faith. I am thinking of using my credit card worth P300k to invest in Crypto market and no plans of paying. Just one of my CC (sb). And if by any chance the investment works out, ill pay the card off. but if not, and while waiting, i dont plan on paying the card. and still keep the remaining two cards. What are your thoughts on this? I know this is unethical. But reading all the posts and support you have here, I think it also applies to what i just said. What do you think? Im willing to send 3 yumbugers for the kids. Just need your expertise and thoughts. Thank you

    1. Naku po, mahirap po yan. Parang pre meditated 😊. Sorry ha, tsaka yung crypto delikado. Masarap yung feeling na hindi ka hinahabol ng mga scammers na yan. I know the feeling. Kung maibabalik ko lang, sana hindi ko inaabot itong pananakot ng mga scammer na ito. Mabuti na lang nabasa ko na agad ito. Kaya kahit paano may alam na ako sa galawan nila. Pag isipan mo maigi gagawin mo.

  17. Hello. Silent reader ako sa group at isa din sa nagarnish ng BPI. January 2020 ng nagarnish/na hold yun payroll account ko thru a notice from Landbank. Nitong taon lang kinuha na ni sheriff ng court yun partial ng pera ko na naipon from 2020 to present. Nakipagnegotiate din ako sa collection firm na nagkaso sakin but hindi ako nakapagsettle due to the amount nsa hinihingi sakin para lang magkaroon kami ng agreement. Ang gusto ng collection agency e mag over the counter ako ng settlement payment daw e katwiran ko nahold nga sahod ko tapos hahanapan pa ako ng pang settle na cash. So moving forward, nakapagrequest pa ako ng hearing ulit sa court thru the help of a co-worker na lawyer sa office para mareconsider na malift yun garnishment pero di napagbigyan ni Judge sa Makati at sabi terminated na daw yun case. Government employee ako and permanent for 10 years na at hindi nagresign sa work ko hoping na yun maiipon na pera sa account ko e magiging sufficient para malift yun granishment sakin. kabikabilang loan dito, loan doon sa coop ng office, OLAs at yun mga bonus na pwede icheke para hindi na pumasok sa account ko. Although me Decision na nun 2017 e hind ako nagfile ng motion for reconsideration hoping na hindi mahohold yun salary ko e hinold pa din ni Landbank hanggang up to this period. Although me natira pa din sa nahold sakin sa account ko e di ko pa din sya magalaw and andito pa din ako work but already thinking and considering my options for the future. Sa mga katulad kong nagarnish din keep strong lang tayo para sa pamilya. Magpalakasan tayo ng loob at sana makapagkwentuhan tayo minsan.

  18. I have a question about the garnishment. If funds are already on hold, kailan sya magagarnish? Nakita ko kc yung funds ko sa current balance, per yung available balance is zero. Magagamit ko pa ba yung account ko na nakahold? What is the best possible course of action? If I open a new account sa ibang bank, and magpadala doon, magagarnish din ba? Baka po may same case sakin.

  23. Although me notice of garnishment na di agad sya nakuha ni sheriff kasi me pending motion pako na naifiled last year and nakikipagnegotiate pako nun sa collecting agency.
