JAKARTA - The Financial Services Authority (OJK) finally delivered an official statement on the forced withdrawal of credit vehicles by debt collectors of financing companies.

"OJK will impose harsh sanctions on financing companies if it is proven that debt collectors are breaking the law in the withdrawal of motor vehicles", OJK spokesman Sekar Putih Djarot said in a press statement on Tuesday, May 11.

According to Sekar, this firm stance was taken by the authorities following the forced withdrawal of vehicles by debt collectors that had gone viral in recent days.

"OJK states that it does not tolerate debt collectors who violate the law and will impose harsh sanctions on financing companies that violate", she said.

Sekar added that it will build cooperation with relevant leasing and all stakeholders in the industry so that similar events do not recur.

"OJK has coordinated with the association of financing companies to discipline its members in carrying out billing provisions by applicable rules", she said.

As is known, some time ago circulated a viral video of a TNI member named Serda Nurhadi suddenly intercepted by dozens of debt collectors or debt collectors to seize the car he was driving.

In its development, it is known that the disputed vehicle does not belong to Serda Nurhadi. The purpose of this TNI member driving the vehicle is to help the family of the owner of the car who is sick.

The roadblock incident itself occurred on Thursday, May 6 at around 14.00 WIB in the vicinity of Semper Timur Village Office, Jakarta.

This suddenly caused a public commotion in the country. In fact, Commander of the Regional Military Command Maj. Gen. Dudung Abdurachman issued several ultimatums because his men were victims of the debt collector's actions.

"I remind you again not to commit acts of thuggery which will later harm the people. Military Command with Jakarta Metro Police will be present as soon as possible", he said.

Most recently, police have named 11 debt collectors who went viral for besieging Second Sergeant Nurhadi as suspects. Determination of suspects based on the title of the case.

The debt collectors have the initials YAKM, JAD, HHL, HEL, PA, GL, GYT, JT, AM, DS, and HRL.

"11 people and their respective roles have now been designated as suspects and detentions are carried out", Metro Jaya Police Public Relations Chief Kombes Yusri Yunus told reporters on Monday, May 10.
