        We used to live in a colony previously and there we had these neighbours. They were like any common neighbours. We moved out from that place nearly 3 years ago. Now since 4-5 days loan agents are calling us saying these neighbours gave our number as a reference for a loan they took. When i talked more to the loan agent they specifically mentioned our old house number and said that these neighbours of ours took the loan and now not lifting calls. Any action can i take to put an end to this . Please help !

              what are they claiming? are they asking you the whereabouts of the neighbours? or are they saying that you are a guarantor of some sorts.

                  of the neighbours who took loan. Funny thing is the agents think we still live in our old house so they are asking to let them know

                          My friend took loans from these apps and they call me once a while asking for him, and I be acting surprised like who tf is that, the more you talk to them the more they push you. So just ignore these callers.

                                As soon as you hear who they are cut the call and block. Also why do you even pick unknown numbers. Mark those number spam.

                                Block the numbers. If they call you from 30 numbers, block each one of them. Don’t talk about anything, just say hello, as soon as they tell you that they are loan recovery people, hang the phone and block the number.

                                Tell the loan agent:

                                **”The old neighbours also borrowed money from me, and are not answering my calls. If you meet them, tell I want my money back.”**

                                        Use truecaller and just don’t pickup their calls. My friend once took the loan, and i was approached by the agents as the guarantor, whereas his dad is the real guarantor, they just used his call logs and just called the person to get their money back in any way.

                                        I am always surprised by stupidity of people in comments here telling OP to get lawyer.

                                        OP, those recovery agents are lying. Whenever someone defaults loan in loan apps (most of loan apps available on playstore and Apple store are illegal). They call everyone in contact list and lie them that loan taker has given their number as guaranteer.

                                        Tell agents to FO.

                                              I got only one such Call till date, where I informed do they know to whom they contacting? They said my name. I asked them to show my consent on any form of loan then We can have a call. Just because someone know my name and number that doesn’t mean they can use it anywhere and you guys keep calling me.

                                              This was in very cold tone, serious and calmly. Never got any Call after that

                                                I also have the same exact issue.
                                                Blocking the numbers is the only solution as of now.

                                                    Tell them the bloody neighbour took a loan from me as well.. plz help me recover money..I will give u 10%.
                                                    Waste their time in negotiations.

                                                    Next time they call, ask them for updates on your money recovery, irrespective of if they agreed or not.

                                                          This has happened to me.
                                                          Just ignore their calls, don’t receive or cut the call.
                                                          They can’t do a shit to you.

                                                            Ask them to come to the nearest police station and tell them we will discuss this there. Also bluff by saying that area sub-inspector as well as SP/ASP of your area/city are your close relatives. They will stop calling

                                                              There was this loan agent who called me about my friend’s loan. Once or twice I told him I’m not in touch with the friend anymore.

                                                              When they didn’t stop calling, I had to say he owes me money as well, if you find him ask him about that too.

                                                              Never got a call post that.

                                                                These people are adamant. The callers are outsourced and will call relentlessly. Same thing happened to a relative. They got a sim on someone else’s name. That someone else absconded after taking loan. These people are not to be reasoned with. Cut the call, change your number.

When people take loans from this “Loan Apps” ( which are mostly Chinese funded or managed) they ask to install an app via apk, what it does is that it copies all the contacts from the users phone. When user is unable to pay, they start calling all the contacts in their phone and start to harass them “ by saying the BS like they have listed your name as a guaranteer etc so that you panic call the user and put a pressure on them to pay back the loans, in the extreme cases they blackmail people (users, specially if she is a woman and have taken the loan) to share the morphed pictures to all their contact ( just google it, there is a full BBC documentary about it that how many people have actually committed sui**de” due to harassment from this loan sharks.

                                                                                  Legally you can’t do sh*t,because it originates from outside India, the people/collection agency you are getting called from are “outsourced”, and they have 1000 cases filed on them everyday and nothing happens, so forget about it.

                                                                                  What you can do? Do not engage and as soon as they call, disconnect it, and block their number.
