Indonesia online loan debt‑collector controversy

Entities: Purworejo · Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) · Indina Andamari · KrediFazz · Kredivo

Overview

In late July 2026 a video from Purworejo, Central Java, showed a debt collector demanding sexual favors from a borrower as a condition for debt forgiveness. Police raided the site, found no criminal evidence and closed the case without charges. The parties entered a family‑style mediation overseen by local police, and Kredivo, the fintech platform linked to the loan, confirmed the outcome and announced tighter oversight of its collection practices in coordination with the Financial Services Authority (OJK).

Financial consultant Elvi Diana subsequently called on Indonesia’s Fintech Association (AFPI) and OJK’s consumer‑protection unit to conduct a comprehensive review of third‑party debt‑collection licensing, urging sanctions against firms such as Kredivo and KreditFazz.

On 30 July 2026 Kredivo and KrediFazz said they would continue investigating the alleged violations in the Purworejo case. Both firms reported the incident in writing to OJK on 22 July, met the regulator the following day, and presented a chronology, preliminary findings and proposed supervisory measures. They emphasized a commitment to consumer protection, an objective fact‑based inquiry and full resolution of any wrongdoing, and reiterated that the investigation will proceed until all allegations are thoroughly examined.
