DTI to prohibit motorcycle sale only on installment basis

The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) is preparing an administrative order to prohibit motorcycle dealers to sell on installment basis alone.

In a Senate hearing, DTI Secretary Ramon Lopez pointed out that buyers must be free to choose cash or installment as payment method in buying a motorcycle of their choice following a report that several dealers force buyers to pay on installment basis without any cash payment option.

The DTI has received 3,060 complaints including non-issuance of an official receipt and certificate of registration, and sale of defective motorcycles. -PTV News
