[Reporter Yan Hongjun/Changhua Report] The brother surnamed Liu in Changhua County was poor. After his father passed away, he could not afford the funeral expenses. His elder brother borrowed 60,000 yuan from an "Internet financing company", but the interest and handling fees for more than 20 days alone were nearly 50,000 yuan. The other party withheld the IOU and forced them to continue borrowing. Fortunately, the legislators, village chiefs, and neighbors sympathized with the two dutiful sons and helped repay the money by raising funds.

Underground Banks Seize IOUs to Force Renewal

The 25-year-old brother said that his father has been bedridden for the past year, and he and his 20-year-old younger brother are taking care of him. The two brothers work part-time at a gas station. His father passed away last month. In the aftermath, the two of them have no relatives. I don't know where to borrow money?

In desperation, he searched for loan channels on the Internet and borrowed money from three underground banks.

The first borrowed 20,000 yuan and agreed to pay 3,000 yuan in interest within 15 days; the second borrowed 20,000 yuan and agreed to pay 6,000 yuan in interest within 14 days; the third borrowed another 20,000 yuan and agreed to pay 20 days Nine thousand dollars in interest.

The two only wanted to bury their father and try to repay it later. Unexpectedly, the interest rate skyrocketed, so they had to repay the 20,000 yuan first, but the other party refused to pay the loan, saying "I don't want him to pay back the money", forcing him to continue borrowing.

The two cried to their neighbor's aunt, and the neighbor approached Huang Jiafu, the mayor of Nanxi Village, Yuanlin City, to find a solution. After learning about it, Chen Suyue, a legislator, also offered to help, raising 120,000 yuan to solve the urgent need.

Legislators and district chiefs sympathize with fundraising to help pay back money

The elder brother said that he was too young to do anything, but fortunately he had the assistance of the head of the village and the legislator; Huang Jiafu said that the Liu brothers were very young, and they were frightened and at a loss when they were threatened. The principal was 60,000 yuan, and nearly 50,000 yuan in interest and handling fees were paid. After the other party got the money, they publicly burned the IOU through "live broadcast".

Legislator Chen Suyue said that young people now rely heavily on the Internet for obtaining information. The information in the Internet world is full of falsehoods, full of traps, and even criminals hide in it.

Huang Jiafu also said that the two brothers are very filial. After the neighbors learned about this incident, they worried that the two would be forced to pay debts, which might cause greater social problems, so they generously donated money.
