After discovering that 104 workers borrowed money but could not leave the country, the Social Policy Bank of Que Phong district reported to the People's Committee of Que Phong district and coordinated with relevant agencies to work with Simco Song Da Company, represented by Mr. Nguyen Trung Kien, to help people recover their money.

With the drastic participation of local authorities and the district Social Policy Bank, Simco Song Da Company worked specifically with each worker to negotiate and return money to the people.

From 2014 to before the inspection by the District People's Committee in May 2017, Simco Song Da Company had returned money to 54 workers who had borrowed capital from the Social Policy Bank of Que Phong district with an amount of VND 2,831 billion.
