share lang ko noh, i was once harassed by these collecting agents, sige xla sulti anang RA8484 na ako naviolate nya mapriso daw ko. i researched the act and pretty much understood it. the next time nitawag nako ang agent, ako gipaexplain niya ang RA8484, nasuko nuon. meaning, wa xa kasabot sa iyang giyawit. i have also read a government blog re: this issue and as per the legal counsel, collecting agents are very kulit for them to get their "commission".
