Sa mga bagong defaulted pa lang, ito muna ang tandaan:
HINDI PA TAPOS ANG LAHAT.
Kapag unang beses mong makatanggap ng demand letter, sunod-sunod na text, tawag, at email, parang guguho ang mundo mo.
Hindi ka makatulog.
Hindi ka makakain.
Lahat ng unknown number, kinakatakutan mo.
Normal lang ‘yan.
Pero ito ang totoo:
ang demand letter ay simula ng pressure, hindi katapusan ng buhay mo.
Marami sa atin, noong una, iisa ang tanong:
Makukulong ba ako?
Mapapahiya ba ako?
Pupuntahan ba ako sa bahay?
Malalaman ba sa opisina?
At dahil sa takot, kung anu-anong pangako ang nasasabi:
“Sige po, magbabayad ako sa katapusan.”
“Sige po, manghihiram ako.”
“Sige po, gagawan ko ng paraan.”
Pero ang tanong:
kaya mo ba talaga?
Kasi kung hindi mo rin matutupad, babalik lang ang collector.
Mas lalaki lang ang stress.
Mas lalaki lang ang hiya.
Mas lalaki lang ang panic.
Kaya ito ang unang aral:
HUWAG MANGAKO DAHIL LANG SA TAKOT.
Kung wala kang pambayad ngayon, tanggapin mo muna ang realidad.
Hindi ka masamang tao dahil wala kang maibayad.
Marami lang talagang tinamaan ng maling timing, mababang kita, pagkawala ng trabaho, emergency, o sunod-sunod na problema.
Ang utang, problema ‘yan.
Pero hindi ibig sabihin na wala ka nang karapatang huminga.
Isa pang dapat tandaan:
HINDI LAHAT NG PANANAKOT AY DAPAT KATAKUTAN.
Trabaho ng collectors ang maningil.
Minsan maayos.
Minsan mapilit.
Minsan sobra.
Minsan akala mo katapusan na ng mundo sa lakas ng salita.
Pero hindi porke’t all caps ang text, “FINAL WARNING” na agad ang buhay mo.
Hindi porke’t may “for endorsement” o “for legal review” sa message ay bukas may hahatak na sa’yo.
Ang kailangan mo ay malinaw na isip, hindi wasak na loob.
Kung may pamilya ka, mas mabuting may alam sila.
Kapag ikaw lang ang may bitbit ng problema, mas mabigat.
Kapag may nakakaalam, mas hindi ka madaling sindakin.
At higit sa lahat:
UNAHIN MO ANG PAGKAIN, UPA, TUBIG, KURYENTE, GAMOT, AT MGA ANAK.
Hindi makatao na ibibigay mo lahat sa collector pero gutom naman ang bahay.
Hindi tamang “peace of mind” ang kapalit ay bagong problema kinabukasan.
Kung hindi ka pa makakabayad ngayon, ang pwede mong gawin ay ito:
Magbasa.
Matuto.
Kumalma.
Mag-ipon ng lakas.
Maghanda kapag kaya na.
Pero habang wala pa,
huwag kang magpabali sa takot.
At sana huwag mo ring kalimutan ang pinakamahalagang lesson:
Ang credit limit ay hindi tunay na pera.
At ang swipe na madaling gawin, minsan taon ang kapalit na stress.
Sa mga bagong defaulters:
Oo, mahirap.
Oo, nakakahiya.
Oo, nakakatakot.
Pero tandaan mo:
hindi ito ang katapusan ng pagkatao mo.
Maaaring ito ang katapusan ng isang maling financial chapter—
pero maaari rin itong maging simula ng mas maingat, mas tahimik, at mas totoong buhay.
FORGET THE DEBT?
Hindi agad-agad.
Pero habang hindi mo pa kayang tapusin,
DO NOT FORGET THE LESSON.
At higit sa lahat:
HUWAG MONG IWALA ANG SARILI MO.
Very well said 💯

Mukhang active na active po ang collector ng metrobank lately. Dami ko tawag at letter.Ako po, i will rather settle things in court or with the bank kasi mas negotiable than with the collector
Deletemedyo na englighten ako nung nkita ko n mukang may team n ngaun ang metrobank collection dept at yung auhorized collecting agent.. ang mali ko nagreply ako sa email.. mukang nabuhayan cla ng loob dhil after 4 yrs nagreply ako..hindi nila nabura ung mga forwarded message nila sa isat isa n kasama ng email ko sa knila..with " HI TEAM, blahh blahhh blahh..." in short deleted nlng uli ang eme ni metrobank skin...
DeleteGanyan na ganyan din po email sakin feom metrobank mismo. Pero sa ibang collection naka endorse. Under Cases Collection Management. Same format nag offer din ng discounted eh ang lagay wala padin pambayad. 5 days lang binigay nila tapos mag file na daw. Hays. Metrobank, RCBC, Security Bank ang active lately.
DeleteKBakit nga ba ang active ni Metrobank ngayon? Tapos Rgs collection as in araw araw sila nagpupunta dito sa bahay sabi ko wala silang makokomisyon saken, file a case na lang if you want kasi wala talaga akong ibabayad pa.Ipakulong mo ako kung gusto mo😅. Para di sila nahihirapan magkolekta
ReplyDeleteNaninindak lang po sila para makolekta. Buti na lang po sa bahay alam na niila at alam na rin nila gagawin. Aba syempre hindi ka pwedeng ithreaten sa sarili mong bakuran. Pag pinipilit ang kasama ko sa bahay ireceive , pinapaiwan lang sa gate. Nagagalit din kami pag namimilit. Minsan, siya ang nataranta, tagakolekta lang daw siya
DeleteNag send po email from GCCS , regarding RCBC. Di po ako nag rereply dahil wala padin po akong pambayad. Bumalik na naman anxiety ko. Nanginginig ako at di makatulog. 3 yrs OD po, mabilis po ba mag file si Rcbc? Na sstress na npo ako. Wala po kc ako work ngayon sideline lng habang nag iipon. Balak ko tawag pg may pera hawak. Pero baka hindi sila makapag hintay at mag file na, waiting din ako sa amnesty wala naman sila offer.
ReplyDeleteGood Day Sir/Madam,
This is a final reminder regarding your outstanding debt to our client, RCBC Bankard. Due to the extended period of non-payment and your continued disregard for our previous attempts to assist you, your account is now scheduled for legal action. The necessary legal documents will be sent to your address as soon as possible.
We have exhausted all options to help you settle this balance. If you continue to ignore this final communication, it will be taken as proof of your unwillingness to pay, and the bank will proceed with legal action.
