This study aims to understand the legal protection and legal responsibility of debtors in online loan agreements on the Shopee platform. This research is a type of normative juridical legal research, using a legislative approach, a conceptual approach, and a sociological approach. The results of this study are as follows: First, the legal protection provided to debtors of Shopee's Peer-to-Peer Lending (P2PL) loans, regulated by OJK, includes regulations governing peer-to-peer lending services, as outlined in Article 41 of PJOK Number 10/POJK 2022. Second, the debtor's responsibility for late loan payments on Shopee is to pay a fine of 5% of the total bill and record a default in the financial information system, which makes it more difficult to access future loans. If the delay continues, Shopee can freeze the debtor's account and involve a debt collector for collection.
