No, not a loan shark. Just regular (hopefully licensed) money lenders ranging from former proper people to uncles who just say 'hi i'm beng you need money?' I don't know how people are getting her number, is this one of those phone advertisements from ISP or what? How do I stop this?

Dude. If your loans are off the book from the banking system, try to get a cash loan or a cash advance from your credit card and pay it all off including the principal.
Methinks better to owe banks than to owe these kinds of flers.
FYI, my own family member faced this problem. as family members, we step in to help him with it although that was quite a few years back and it was in Malaysia. So it could be different
1) He talked to the money lenders and agreed on a settlement amount.
2) We forced him to take out a cash advance on his credit cards. It covered a certain amount
3) He took another personal loan from a bank to cover the remainder but it's slightly short
4) The rest, myself and sis chipped in to help
While he still is saddled with a lot of debt, at least it's to banks. And it's his own doing so he'll have to live with it and eat his medicine. But at least it is to banks who will not harm him physically and will honor their contracts.
I suppose you'll have to eat your medicine too.
My friend share me this article last time.. maybe you can read..
