The Ministry of Public Security and police in many cities and provinces have recently cracked down on several illegal debt collection rings that misappropriated assets of debtors.

Investigation results showed that hundreds of thousands of people were threatened and terrorized for their late debt payments.

In mid-March, police in Tan Binh District, Ho Chi Minh City prosecuted 14 debt collectors over asset appropriation related to Vietnam Thinh Vuong Debt Trading JSC and THT Law Company.

Besides, Ho Chi Minh City police have launched criminal proceedings against 26 individuals who are employees at Mirae Asset Finance Company and Power Law Company over calumny.
