Lemme try and explain the loan shark's logic here (based on my conjecture).
I think maybe TS's friend borrowed money at say 7 pm on the first day. Then, 30 days later, 7 pm is the cutoff time. Since TS's friend only paid back at 10 pm (again, all times are examples only), the ah long counts it as 3 hours late, hence the 1-hour x RM 1000 penalty.
So even though date-wise, it is the same day, the ah long counts it as have surpassed 30 days.
That's a good explanation, the problem is from the text he showed me, some thing like this,
Name: My friend's
Loan amount: RM3000
Get on hand: RM2400
Loan date: 9/8/2023
Due date: 8/8/2023
Agent: ah long name, pretty sure it's a made up name
You see they didn't mention the time, as my post written also no paper no sign no black and white. Logically, after 12am is tomorrow already and since this ah long didn't write down the time, he still managed to pay his debt within 30 days. But these fuckers ah long, twist here twist there all they see fit, demanding another RM4000 because of late payment even though haven't cross 12am. I really want to show the ah long text here but again my friends now in miserable state, it's best not to as I already shared a lot about what happened to him.
I really hope people will stay away from ah long no matter what, these fuckers charge interest rate all they want, no law no limit. Exactly like we all heard, borrow RM1000 pay RM15000.
