Fred, My query is relative to Chinoy's response/comment posted last Aug. 19th, 2009 at 2:24 a.m.. My accoutn for collection as per RCBC, through the DOMINGO & MOLAER Law Offices is P106,645.26. Which I believe already includes, the penalties, interests, other charges which would make my account just hovering a little less of P20,000.00 considering that payment was stopped around late nineties or early 2000. Is my case considered as A Small Claim Case? And can my wife be a mandatory party-defendant in the Sum of Money Case pursuant to Rule 3, Sec. 4 of the New Rules of Court as cited by the collecting agent? Whew, I thought, this was solved already after I wrote a letter for compassion and understanding to Amb. Alfredo Yuchengco of RCBC last 2004 or 2005. And after how many years, here comes another collecting agent. Dear Atty. Fred,

Now my question, Attorney: The CoC of MCTC in Bayugan, Agusan del Sur is charging us additional P500.00 for each individual we submit for "small claims cases (aside from P1,000.00 fee for service of summons and processes in civil cases + P200.00 they said for the server's expenses). P1,200.00 is ok with us, it doesn't matter. We have already submitted 1 case and that was decided instantly, thanks to our efficient judge here (we paid P1,200.00). But when we submit another 5 cases this early we were asked by the court's CoC that we pay an additional P500.00 each for Mediation Fund? Is this new?

Fred, On the applicability of Rule of Procedure for Small Claims, is it retroactive or prospective? Do existing claims prior to October 2008 apply to the said procedure?, If not, what is the legal recourse of a 'defendant' being harassed by collecting agents? Thanks and best regards. Chinoy Dear Atty. Fred,

On the applicability of Rule of Procedure for Small Claims, is it retroactive or prospective? Do existing claims prior to October 2008 apply to the said procedure?, If not, what is the legal recourse of a ‘defendant’ being harassed by collecting agents?

Thanks and best regards.

Chinoy
