'Illegal Private Loan Damage Prevention' FSC Opens Illegal Private Loan Guardian Site

Check Prevention and Relief Methods All at Once

Despite the existence of methods to respond to illegal private loan damages, cases of socially vulnerable groups suffering due to lack of awareness of the system continue to occur, prompting the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) to launch the 'Illegal Private Loan Guardian' website.

On the 22nd, the FSS announced that it had opened the dedicated site Illegal Private Loan Guardian for the prevention and relief of illegal private loan damages, and began operating it from the 17th.

The Illegal Private Loan Guardian consists of four main menus and ten contents. It introduces types of illegal private loan damages, provides guidance on policy-based low-income financial products and allows inquiries into registered lending companies for those needing small living expenses, and in case of illegal private loan damage, it offers reporting and consultation numbers, online reporting, and applications for debtor representatives (free lawyers).

The FSS plans to continuously update prevention and response guidelines through the site to ensure no citizens suffer due to lack of awareness of the system, and to strengthen customized promotions targeting vulnerable groups.

Additionally, the FSS will continue to promote the Illegal Private Loan Damage Reporting Center '1332' so that citizens can immediately request help when illegal private loan damages occur. During the year-end and New Year period, focused promotions will be conducted through promotional videos and audio advertisements featuring broadcaster and writer Go Myeonghwan.

Meanwhile, the FSS plans to carry out various promotional activities jointly with related agencies of the 'Government-wide Task Force (TF)' and the financial sector to raise awareness of illegal private loan damage support systems and the risks of illegal private loans.

An FSS official stated, "Through cooperation with related agencies of the Government-wide TF, we will continue to strengthen prevention of illegal private loan damages, protection of victims, and crackdowns and punishments."
