I took loan from navi, priamal and finnable. Right now due to circumstances i am unable to pay my loan and i want to settle the loan. I contacted them but they denied. What steps i should take?... (West Delhi, Delhi)


A. Dear Client,
A person is personally liable for debt availed of from a financer and legally, there is no escape route to get rid of that liability. The financier shall take its own course of legal action to recover the debt from the defaulted borrower once a loan is marked as a bad loan/NPA.

A. Dear client
When you say that out of 36 EMI, you have already paid 22 EMI, then it means that the substantial amount has been paid for the loan. It might be that you have failed to pay one or 2 EMI, but that will not make the outstanding as 1,30,000. You should ask for the loan account statement and try to reconcile what you have paid and what you’re supposed to pay, and then accordingly negotiate with them.
