A.Dear Client,
What they are doing is absolutely illegal and they cannot do this. You send them a legal notice through a lawyer ( We can do that for you) and after that if they don't listen then you should file a writ petition in High Court.

A.Dear Client,
Once the EMI against a loan is not repaid for consecutive 3 times by the borrower for any reason whatsoever, it is treated by the Bank as NPA. Accordingly, the Bank sends notice to the Borrower asking him/her for repayment of the entire dues lying against the loan. In the absence of any response from the Borrower, the Bank started the routine process of action prescribed under relevant laws for recovery of debt lying outstanding against the Borrower and the Guarantor. You can make a prayer to the Bank for some more time to settle the dues but cannot escape yourself from your liability of repayment of your loans for any reason whatsoever. Moreover, legal actions may also be taken against you including filing a civil suit in court or initiating criminal proceedings against you. The banks may also make use of debt recovery tribunals in order to recover the dues they are owed from the defaulter borrower. However, you may negotiate or settle your dues against loans by following the steps like lowering your interest rate, arranging for a reduced interest rate is one of the most common requests a defaulter borrower can make to the Bank, creating or restructuring a repayment plan or extending the tenure of repayment of a loan, looking for debt forgiveness. considering loan consolidation, offering a one-time settlement payment. Following these steps, you may write an application requesting for settlement of dues to the concerned Bank stating why you cannot repay your outstanding dues lying against the loans. Also, write that you want to explore alternative repayment terms. Specify the amount that you can pay, as well as what you expect from the creditor Bank in return. A good starting point for negotiation could be offering around 30% of the amount that you owe. However, if they did not pay any heed to your appeal, then you need to bring the matter to the notice of the concerned Bank and its higher authority and the regulatory authority, RBI online on its grievance redressal portal under the integrated Banking Ombudsman Scheme either online or offline. A complaint can be made at https://cms. rbi.org.in or by calling the helpline number 14440. The complaint may be lodged online or by filing an offline complaint and submitting the same at the Centralised Receipt and Processing Centre (CRPC) at RBI, 4th Floor, Sector 17, Chandigarh, PIN-160017. Further, a quick counseling session with a certified credit counselor can help you to discover your options and choose the right path to resolve or settle the matter.
