Advocates threatening me for credit card default Advocates threatening me for credit card default

8 months ago

I could not make payments for my credit card due to no income. I have not given any cheque or ECS. But their advocates threatening me repeatedly. The latest threat is as follows :-Despite repeated requests and reminders by various legal notices, you have intentionally failed and neglected to pay the installments due in lieu of the repayment of the IndusInd Bank Ltd Loan. It is now apparent that your intentions were mala-fide and dishonest even at the time of sanction of the Loan

Notice #1-Overdue Notice
Notice #2-Show Cause Notice
Notice #3-Loan Recall Notice
Notice #4-Reminder & Caution Notice
Notice #5-Notice U/s.406 & 420
Notice #6-Conciliation Notice

You purposefully ignored all notices to misappropriate the funds and cause my clients financial loss. My client will reclaim its lawful dues.


U/s.17 of Arbitration & Conciliation Act Interim/Measures/Garnishee
Order 21 of CPC Attachment of Movable/immovable Property
U/s.25 (1) of Payment and Settlement System Act-Criminal Proceedings
U/s.138 of Negotiable Instrument Act - Criminal Proceedings
U/s.406 of Indian Penal Code
U/s.420 of Indian Penal Code
U/s.422 of Indian Penal Code
U/s.156(3) of CRPC

Thus, in addition to criminal prosecutions under Section 138 and 141 of the Negotiable Instruments Act 1881 (read with section 25 of the Payment and Settlement Act 2007, if applicable). You have also committed the offence of cheating and fraud for which offences,my Client reserves its right to initiate criminal prosecution under 422 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.
I have explained them my financial situation repeatedly but to no avail. Kindly suggest

A.Dear Client,
here are some steps you may consider taking:

Review Your Financial Situation: Ensure that you have a clear understanding of your financial situation. Make a detailed assessment of your income, expenses, and outstanding debts. This will help you communicate your situation more effectively.

Communicate with the Bank: It's important to maintain open and honest communication with the bank. Contact them and explain your financial difficulties. Try to negotiate a payment plan or settlement arrangement that you can realistically afford.

Document Everything: Keep records of all communication with the bank, including letters, emails, and phone calls. Make note of dates, times, and the names of the bank representatives you speak with.

Seek Legal Advice: If the bank continues to threaten you despite your attempts to resolve the issue, it may be advisable to consult with an attorney who specializes in debt collection and consumer rights. They can provide legal advice and represent your interests.

Understand Your Rights: Familiarize yourself with relevant consumer protection laws in your jurisdiction. Different countries and regions have laws that regulate debt collection practices and protect consumers from harassment.

Check the Validity of the Debt: Ensure that the debt being claimed is accurate and valid. Request detailed information about the debt, including a breakdown of the charges and interest applied.

Know the Statute of Limitations: Debt collection has a statute of limitations in many jurisdictions. This means that after a certain period, the debt becomes unenforceable through legal action. Consult with a lawyer to determine if the debt has passed the statute of limitations in your area.

Cease and Desist Letter: In some cases, sending a formal cease and desist letter to the bank or their representatives may be appropriate if you believe you are being harassed. This should be done under the guidance of an attorney.

Credit Counseling: Consider seeking credit counseling or debt management services from reputable organizations. They can help you create a budget and negotiate with creditors on your behalf.

Review the Terms and Conditions: Review the terms and conditions of your credit card agreement to understand the consequences of non-payment and any dispute resolution mechanisms it may contain.

Remember that dealing with debt issues can be complex, and the specific actions you should take may depend on your individual circumstances and the laws in your jurisdiction.
Thank you.
