Remove online posts shaming you over a debt

Money disputes are the first cause of doxxing in Hong Kong

In 2025, 45.2% of doxxing cases handled by the PCPD came from money disputes (PCPD, 3 February 2026). Recent cases show the pattern:

• Banners and flyers outside a man’s housing estate showed his name, address, photo and a partly masked HKID number over a disputed HK$6 million “debt”; a suspect was arrested on 29 December 2025 (The Standard, 30 December 2025).
• Flyers posted near a primary school and on lamp posts named a mother and her daughter over money owed (PCPD, 2025).
• A frozen-meat supplier posted a restaurant owner’s mobile number, car plate and the school his children attend on social media over unpaid bills, and was arrested (PCPD, 11 August 2026).

In each case the PCPD made the same point: doxxing is not a means to resolve disputes. Whether money is owed does not change the offence.

Where these posts appear

• Facebook groups for an estate, a district or a trade, often with a “beware of this person” title
• Instagram Stories and Threads posts tagging your friends or your employer
• LIHKG and Discuss.com.hk threads, which then rank on Google for your name
• Telegram channels listing alleged debtors with photos and identity cards
• Photos of offline flyers re-posted online, which keep the content alive after the paper is removed

Our approach

1. Free written assessment: you send the links; we confirm which posts break which rule and quote a fixed price.
2. Platform reports within 48 hours of payment, citing private information, harassment and bullying rules. An identity card image is a clear breach on most platforms.
3. PCPD complaint: we prepare Form OPS004 and file it with your written authorisation. You remain the complainant and witness. The PCPD can also act on offline leaflets and banners.
4. Google: requests for results showing your HKID number, contact details or doxxing pages.
5. Re-checks: debt shaming tends to come in waves, especially around payment dates, so we look again for new posts.

If the posts come from an illegal moneylender

Loan sharks sometimes publish borrowers’ details, or their relatives’ details, to put pressure on them. If you are threatened, if anyone comes to your home, or if your family is contacted, call 999 or report at a police station: those reports are made by you, and we can prepare a dated evidence pack of the posts. We remove the online posts; we do not contact the lender, negotiate or handle repayment.

Posters on walls and lamp posts

We cannot take down paper flyers, banners or messages painted on doors. Report them to the police and to the PCPD, which treats offline leaflets as doxxing too: about a third of 2025 doxxing cases involved leaflets or banners. Take photos with the location and date before they are removed: they support both the complaint and our online requests.

What stays outside our work

• The debt itself: we do not judge who owes what, and we never collect or settle money.
• Court judgments and official insolvency records, which are public by law.
• Genuine, factual business reviews about unpaid work, when they contain no personal data. See fake reviews for the rules that apply there.
• Injunctions or claims against the poster: consult a Hong Kong solicitor. NetClearer is not a law firm.

Price

HK$255 per link, HK$608 for three, HK$1,753 for ten with a removal report. If posts keep coming, a monthly plan from HK$696 covers new links as they appear. The PCPD complaint is prepared and filed as part of the case. Fixed price, no extra fees, card payment through Stripe. See prices.
