HUNDREDS of villagers in Tai'an County, northeastern Liaoning Province were dumbfounded to learn that they owed debts totaling about 30 million yuan (US$4.77 million) though they never applied for loans from the local rural credit cooperatives.
The shocking revelation came after Zhang Jingzhi, a Xinkaihe Town Credit Coop worker, died last August, and the Tai'an County Credit Union Association came to check the accounts.
Villagers believed Zhang stole their personal information and loaned the money to others, the Beijing News reported today.
It is common for rural residents to borrow a relative's or a friend's personal ID card to apply for loans because each person can borrow no more than 10,000 yuan. The ID card owners need not to be present when a loan is made, villagers said.
Zhang didn't provide loans to unfamiliar villagers but kept the copies of their ID cards, and lent money to others, villagers said.
Chai Yaqiang, deputy director with the Tai'an County Credit Union Association, admitted it was a case of procedural violation, but refused to give details.
"I didn't know how Zhang made the loans," Chai said, adding that police have opened an investigation into the case and 17 million yuan of loans has been traced to some borrowers.
