If you cannot pay LoanStream on time
On LoanStream loans above ₱10,000 or longer than four months, the penalty is whatever your contract and Disclosure Statement say; the SEC's 5% a month cap covers only smaller, shorter loans. Biyaya Lending Corporation's collectors, and any agency it hires, may not post your details, threaten you, call before 6 a.m. or after 10 p.m., or message anyone in your contacts except the guarantors you named (SEC MC No. 18 s.2019).
If that fails, report Biyaya Lending Corporation to the SEC on hotline 14732 or the iMessage portal, and report messages to your contacts to the National Privacy Commission at complaints@privacy.gov.ph. All eight prohibited collection practices.
Other apps from Biyaya Lending Corporation
Biyaya Lending Corporation runs 2 apps on the SEC list. They share one SEC registration, so a complaint about any of them goes against the same company.
