Overdue debt collection practices to change after tax breaks on written-off loans

South Korea\'s financial regulators plan to curb the practice of financial companies repeatedly extending the statute of limitations on overdue loans while continuing collection efforts after receiving tax benefits. Under revised rules, firms will need to let the statute of limitations run its course when it first comes due to have personal overdue loans recognised as losses. The changes also tighten requirements for selling such debts, introduce reporting and disclosure systems, and revise related guidelines and supervision rules.
