Legality of "Going Loans" Mobile Application and Its Collection Method

Requested from SEC by R. Benito at 08:26 PM on Apr 21, 2023.
Purpose: General FOI Querry
Date of Coverage: 01/01/2022 - 04/21/2023
Tracking no: #SEC-870241311088

Benito 08:26 PM, Apr 21, 2023 

Good day,

I would like to know if the "Going Loans" mobile application in Google Play Store with the link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.loans.customer.application&pli=1 is legally operating. I would also like to know if their collection method for their customers is legal. I do not have any loans with the said app, but they called me as a reference for one of their customers. You may also look at the message they sent to my friend who gave me permission to share the screenshot with you through the link https://disk.yandex.com/i/_lhREzJnYG2jv

Hoping to hear from you soon.
