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.
💡 Bonus Tip:
Before using any loan app, check if it’s legit by looking at FCCPC’s approved list:

💬 Let’s talk
If you’ve been harassed by a loan app before (or know someone who has), feel free to drop your experience below or ask questions. This thread might help others too!
We’re in this together 💪
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!
Jubilee Yes, they do respond- especially when you send proof. Let me know how it goes. You're not alone in this 💪
What if the app isn’t on Play Store anymore? Can I still report it?
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.
I truly love this. The harassments is too much
