I have got credit card from RBL Bank with a limit of Rs. 35000. And petty loans of Rs. 75000, Rs. 45000 and Rs. 90000. I have also taken a home loan of Rs. 1600000 from HDFC. All the EMI's in a cumulative manner has made me lack money. Now, my situation is next to bankruptcy. Also a legal notice has been sent through an Advocate Association. Please, let me know how can I help myself to get off the debt faster along with complying with all the Banking Acts.

A.Dear client,
In the prevailing situation, you may file for bankruptcy. Under the Provincial Insolvency Act, 1920 (which is now repealed as IBC Code 2016), you can file for bankruptcy if you are unable to repay a debt greater than ₹500. After analyzing whether the conditions for filing of bankruptcy have been met, the court may accept or reject the application. Alternatively, you can try to negotiate a debt settlement on your own if your pocket permits to repay the entire outstanding at a time for a one-time settlement of dues, but sometimes it's typically done through third parties like debt relief companies, which you may hire to negotiate the settlement matter with the lender on your behalf. With this method, you will make payments to the debt settlement company rather than your creditors/lenders, along with any fees. Debt settlement is an agreement between a lender and a borrower in which the borrower repays a portion of a loan balance and the lender forgives the remainder. You may consider starting the negotiation by offering to pay 25% or 30% of your outstanding balance in return for forgiveness on the rest. But, it may be noted that while there are legitimate debt relief/settlement companies, there are also many scam operations. So, if you're considering one, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau(CFPB) suggests for contacting your state attorney general's(AG) office and local consumer protection agency to ask if they have any consumer complaints on file about that company. Some states require that debt settlement companies be licensed, which may provide some added protection. Although a debt settlement can offload some of your financial crisis, there are also a few potential risks and downsides to consider. First, a debt settlement will affect your credit score. That will make it more difficult for you to get credit or good interest rates in the future. Another potential drawback is that when you settle debt, you could face tax consequences. Finally, when you settle a debt with a credit card company, your account is closed once the settlement is complete. So you could potentially have no credit facility to use a credit card further owing to your poor credit score. Further, a quick counselling session with a certified credit counsellor can help you to discover your options and choose the right path forward to settle the debts/loan with the Bank.
