Online loans are an alternative source of loans for the public. Online lending has grown rapidly. Financial technology companies are online loan providers. Financial technology companies use various ways to collect loans that are not paid by customers when they are due. One of the debt collection methods is to distribute photos and debt collection stories of the customer to the contacts in the customer's mobile number. This distribution has caused unrest for the people contacted either via messenger or via SMS. This research aims to discuss the pattern of debt collection by financial technology companies from a juridical viewpoint. This research uses the juridical normative method. This research concludes that data retrieval and data dissemination constitute a violation of personal data protection for customers and people who receive news and SMS. Retrieval of data without approval or contacting a loan with another party without prior knowledge has violated the personal domain of the data owner. The government needs to immediately issue regulations regarding the protection of personal data related to electronic transactions.

The study is aimed at analyzing methods of country's debt security evaluation, developing methodic approach towards estimating the level of debt security based on the calculation of the integral index, and assessing the level of debt security of CEE countries on the basis of the proposed approach. A method of calculating the integral debt security index of the country is developed, taking into account generally accepted thresholds of indebtedness and solvency indicators and the trend of countries' increasing dependence on external borrowing.
The proposed approach is practically tested in assessing the level of debt security of CEE countries. It is determined that the group of CEE countries is differentiated by the state of indebtedness and solvency. The highest level of debt security is demonstrated by Bulgaria, the Czech Republic and Estonia, the worst situation with the debt security is formed in Slovakia and Slovenia. Based on the analysis of the dynamics of integral debt security indices for 2007–2019, the grouping of CEE countries by the level and zones of debt security, the trends of deterioration of the region's debt security in 2010–2015 and its improvement in 2016–2019 has been found out. The proposed approach is universal one; it can be used to calculate debt security indices and to provide comparative studies of the debt sector of any country or region. It can also help to identify weaknesses in country's debt security that is critically important for reasoning the public policy measures to ensure a proper level of debt security.

Until 1970s external debts did not come as a serious problem for Polish economy. Due to political reasons, the Polish People's Republic rarely took any credits from Western countries, and when it did, all due amounts were repaid in due time. The aim of the article is to present the growth of the Polish external debt, with special consideration of its causes and methods of debt reduction. In order to achieve the aim of the article, a research method of descriptive comparative analysis has been applied. In the conclusions of the paper it is stated – among others – that external credits have been taken in order to decrease economic disproportions between Poland and highly developed countries. Considering the necessity of debt repayment, the due amounts have already become a considerable developmental barrier and a burden not only for the state budget but also for business entities. Undoubtedly, Poland is going to take more credits and to issue foreign bonds in the nearest future. Their use may turn out to be an important factor which shall determine the economic situation of the country.

This volume offers two important contributions to the literature on sovereign debt. First, it provides a unique genealogy of debt collection practices in terms of their availability, acceptability and efficacy. We argue that creditors' tactics and methods to enforce debt repayment emerged and solidified to a large extent in relation to the threads of colonial history, from the building of empires to the decolonisation era. Second, this volume reflects critically on the relevance of neo-colonial interpretations in recent cases of sovereign debt disputes

The regulation of credit rating agencies and their activities has been evolving significantly in recent years as the response to difficulties experienced during the economic crises. According to number of post-crises analysis, it is claimed that rating agencies played a role and are guilty for much of the crisis events. Until then the regulators somehow neglected to regulate these financial market entities, despite the important role they perform in the whole financial system. The paper addresses the background and process of assigning sovereign ratings, role of sovereign ratings on the financial marketand current regulation on providing sovereign rating in the European Union. The aim is to confirm or disprove the benefits of restrictions put on sovereign debt ratings by the European rules using mostly the descriptive and empirical method.
