- A loan company has ignited a storm of outrage and debate across social media with its bold and deeply invasive strategy to recover debts.
- What the company likely intended as a strong-arm strategy to compel repayment quickly backfired, drawing harsh criticism from the public, legal experts, and consumer rights advocates.
A well-known loan app has ignited a storm of outrage and heated debate after publicly shaming 87 alleged debtors by posting their photos online.
The controversial incident came to light through a series of videos uploaded to a TikTok page ominously titled “Delinquent Loan,” a name seemingly designed to amplify the humiliation.
The app divided the images into three separate videos, each captioned with a terse and pointed message: “Please settle your loans.”

While the caption may have been a direct appeal to the debtors, it quickly turned into a rallying cry for critics who viewed the move as a shocking overreach.

The comment sections of these videos became battlegrounds for public opinion. Outraged individuals dragged the loan app for what many described as a deeply invasive and unethical approach to debt collection.
