HARASSED BY OLA

Requested from SEC by M. Poliquit at 06:21 PM on Oct 05, 2023.
Purpose: Ban Online Lending Apps and help OLA victims
Date of Coverage: 09/30/2023 - 10/05/2023
Tracking no: #SEC-401609484978

Poliquit 06:21 PM, Oct 05, 2023

I would like to file a complaint against Online Lending App, stating that I have a loan to them even though I don't have. They have harassed me for a week now. They have violated data privacy. They have breeched my contact since a friend of mine, reached me out that someone called them saying I have a loan due to them. They even created a groupchat on Messenger , adding my Facebook friends. Also, they texted me that they will post my face with my id on social media, calling me names and texted that they call the company that I'm working. Please help since I don't know what to do already.
