How to Report Loan Apps That Are Harassing You (Step-by-Step Guide)

Hey everyone 👋,

I’ve been seeing a lot of people in the community complain about loan apps sending threats, calling family members, or even exposing personal info online. That’s not just wrong - it’s illegal.

So I wanted to quickly share how you can report these apps and protect yourself (or someone you know) from this kind of harassment.

🛑 First off, what does “harassment” look like?

If a loan app is doing any of these, you have a case:

  • Sending threats to you or your contacts
  • Publicly shaming you with messages or photos
  • Constantly calling/messaging your friends or family
  • Using your personal data without permission

These are violations of your rights - and they can be reported.


✅ Here’s what you can do:

1. Gather your evidence 📸

Take screenshots, save voice notes, emails, call logs - anything that proves what they did.

2. Send a complaint to FCCPC (they handle these cases)

  • Email: [email protected]
    👉 Include your full name, the app name, what happened, and attach the evidence.
  • Online Form:
    Go to fccpc.gov.ng > File a Complaint
    (Simple form—just fill it out with your story and upload your proof)
  • Social Media Option:
    You can also tag/report on Twitter (X) to @fccpcnigeria if you're not getting a response.

🔎 What happens after?

FCCPC investigates the app and can take legal or regulatory action - like shutting them down, removing them from app stores, or issuing penalties.

They’ve already banned some shady apps before 👏 so your voice really matters.

Jubilee

Wow, I had no idea FCCPC actually responds. I’ve been dealing with threats for over a week now. Definitely going to try this. Thanks for sharing!

Rufus Abumchi

Jubilee Yes, they do respond- especially when you send proof. Let me know how it goes. You're not alone in this 💪

Joel

Is it okay to report if the app contacted my boss? I’m honestly scared to even reply them.

Brown

Joel Absolutely! That’s a serious privacy violation. You should report it ASAP. FCCPC takes these cases very seriously—especially when they involve third parties like your employer.

Princes

Just emailed them with my screenshots. Fingers crossed 🤞

Agustina

Princes Nice! Keep us updated here. Hope they clamp down hard on that app 🔨

Sophia

What if the app isn’t on Play Store anymore? Can I still report it?

Sandra Mercy

Sophia Yes you can. Even if it's been removed from the store, you can still report their past actions. FCCPC is working to track down these shady operators even if they’re off the grid.

Victory

My cousin was harassed by an app called SLOT, but we didn’t know what to do. This post came just in time 🙏

Royalty

Victory I'm so sorry to hear that. Definitely share this with them and encourage them to report it. The more people speak up, the better the results

Loveth

Do these reports really work though? Naija agencies don’t usually reply people 😅

Maxwell

Loveth I get the doubt 😅 but yes, FCCPC has been taking action. They’ve already sanctioned some apps in the past year. The key is sending complete reports - with evidence.

Angela

Thank you for this. I actually bookmarked it. I’ll also post the steps in my WhatsApp group.

Mercy

Angela That's awesome 🙌 Please do. The more people are aware of their rights, the harder it gets for these apps to get away with this.

Jeffery Okafor

I truly love this. The harassments is too much
