Hi Godiva & all,


I`m facing the same problem. My 3rd filipino helper(my 1st 2 served all their contracts) only worked for me for 2 months says she misses her family & says she feels like wanting to die if I don`t send her back asap. So most prob I have to send her home without she paying off all her outstanding loan to me. Is there any recourse to get back this loan or we have no choice but to classify it as bad debts???Some more I pay my agent $3000 for all this????

Appreciate all your advice,
Dannyho

Your case sounds serious because she has not paid off her loan. If I were you, I would contact the agent. There should be some recourse for you.

I think if you return her to the agent, you should be able to get back the balance of her loan from the agent- either the agents returns the bal to you, or set it off from the replacement maid's loan.
The agent will have to either transfer her to another employer, or send her home.
That's the norm but you should check the contract that you signed with the agent (cos nowadays maybe the contract is different)

I remember my last contract signed last June, it states that I have to send the maid back to the agent if she is still on the loan period. I’m not suppose to just send her home. Please check your contract.

Please contact your agent and inform them on this matter. By right your maid should work for you for two years not two months. You need to send her back to your agent to get back your money - the balance of her loan. If you pick a new maid from this agenct, you can use the balance to off set the new maid's loan. Otherwise you can ask the agent to refund the balance. Give many reasons to get back to your money; their maid is not reliable, doesnt want to work two years, etc.

Hi All,

Grateful to all of you for your useful advice. Will get back to my agent & also go through my contract again. But I doubt I can get back my $$$ as I mentioned I have aldy resigned to it (as a bad debt) but will try to pressure my agent to get me a transfer helper.

best regards,
Dannyho
