JAKARTA - Commander Kodam (Pangdam) Jaya Maj. Gen. Dudung Abdurachman asked the companies no longer use the services of debt collectors. Because, debt collectors often use actions that are less beautiful.

"I hope that companies that utilize debt collector services will not return," Maj. Gen. Dudung told reporters Monday, May 10.

However, even if companies still choose to use debt collector services, they must use a polite way. Otherwise, the TNI-Polri will crack down on all things thugs.

"And I remind you again do not do acts of thugism that will harm the people of Kodam Jaya with the Police Of Metro Jaya will be present as soon as possible," he said.

"We understand that with COVID-19, there are many people who have difficulties, some are laid off, especially economic problems, health problems," he said.

"It's been over a year we've been going through like this. Therefore, on the parties, companies that provide loans to tolerate the community that is currently in difficulty," continued Dudung.
