SAM sets up debt clinics to help ease suffering of overwhelmed debtors
Sukhumvit Asset Management (SAM) has set up a debt clinic at Big C in Bangkok’s Fashion Island shopping centre, where people struggling with debts will be given directions on how they can ease their burden. The clinic, under the supervision of the Bank of Thailand, will be open until Sunday.
Those who wish to avail of its services, must bring the following:
• Copy of national ID and house registration.
• Credit report from the National Credit Bureau, which takes about seven working days to get.
• Proof of Income: Employees need to provide a bank statement over the past six months and salary slips of the past three months or salary certificate, while freelancers need to provide a bank statement over the past six months and non-resident withholding tax certificate if any.
SAM will next set up a debt clinic at the Money Expo in Songkhla province to be held at Central Festival Hat Yai from November 13 to 15. After Songkhla, SAM will join the Thailand Smart Money expo to be held at Central Plaza in Rayong from November 20 to 22.
“Those who receive approval at the debt clinics, which will be held until June next year, will be granted debt moratorium and an interest reduction of up to 2 per cent to help ease their burden,” an official at SAM said.
