  • 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. What followed was an avalanche of reactions on social media, with the videos going viral and sparking fierce debate about the ethics of the app’s debt recovery tactics.

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.
