Unlawful collection of nude photos...settlement after FSS-backed lawsuit

The victim, who borrowed money from an illegal loan company and was forced to pay more than 30,000% of interest per year and distributed nude photos, received the settlement.

The Financial Supervisory Service said that Mr. A, in his 30s, who supported the lawsuit to confirm the invalidity of the loan contract with the Legal Aid Corporation, received a settlement and closed the case.

A was found to have dropped the lawsuit after receiving a settlement payment from an illegal lender a day before the first trial was sentenced.

With the help of the Financial Supervisory Service and the Corporation, A filed a lawsuit to confirm the invalidity of the loan contract and claim 37.5 million won in illegal collection alimony.

As it ended with an agreement, it became the first case to be concluded among nine lawsuits related to illegal loan business supported by the Financial Supervisory Service and the corporation.

The Financial Supervisory Service said the decision to cancel was regrettable, but it was meaningful in that some damage relief was made.
