List of FAQ's

1. What is loan settlement and how does it work?

Loan settlement is a structured negotiation with banks/NBFCs to close your account for a mutually agreed amount due to genuine financial hardship. It protects you from escalating dues, legal pressure, and prolonged harassment.

2. What is NPA and settlement?

When an account is overdue for 90+ days, it becomes a Non-Performing Asset (NPA). Settlement is a borrower-friendly closure method offered by lenders to regularize such stressed accounts legally.

3. Are loan settlement services legal in India?

Yes, loan settlement is legally recognized when negotiated transparently and documented under RBI-compliant practices. It is a genuine remedy for borrowers in unavoidable distress.

4. Why should you go for debt settlement?

Debt settlement reduces financial stress, prevents legal escalation, and helps you regain control without falling prey to unregulated recovery practices. It is ideal during job loss, emergencies, or medical hardships.

5. What are the durations of NPA, default, and settlement eligibility?

Loan accounts become NPA after 90 days of non-payment, and lenders initiate settlement discussions typically between 120–365 days.

11.Can Debtkart represent me during arbitration proceedings?

Yes, our legal team prepares objections, attends hearings (online/offline), and protects you from inflated claims, interest overload, and unlawful costs.

12. Can police visit and threaten me over loan default?

No. Loan default is a civil issue and not a criminal offense. Police cannot arrest or threaten you for non-payment unless fraud is proven.

13. How can I stop harassment from recovery agents?

Our legal notice immediately reduces aggression and forces recovery agents to comply with RBI guidelines. Continuous harassment can be escalated to RBI Ombudsman and cyber authorities.

14. Does harassment intensity really decrease after legal notice?

Yes. Once lenders see legal representation, call frequency and tone reduce gradually as they must follow compliance-bound recovery norms.

15. What happens if I ignore recovery calls entirely?

Ignoring calls may escalate harassment, penalties, legal notices, and credit damage. Guided communication through legal channels protects you better.

16. Can you assist if multiple lenders are calling me daily?

Yes, our legal representation centralizes communication, reducing harassment from multiple agents simultaneously.

17. Can Debtkart help if recovery agents misuse WhatsApp threats?

Yes, we issue legal notices and guide cyber complaint filing against unauthorized intimidation, impersonation, and fake court summons.

18. Will loan settlement affect my CIBIL score?

Yes, a settled remark can temporarily reduce your score, but disciplined credit behavior can help rebuild it gradually over time.

19. Will my CIBIL score be affected again after settlement?

Your profile may show reduced creditworthiness initially, but improvement follows naturally once you demonstrate healthy borrowing habits after settlement.

20. Can settlement history be removed from my CIBIL report?

Once reported, lenders are not obligated to remove it, but improvement is possible through responsible repayment behavior and future prompt credit management.

21. Can a settled account be removed from CIBIL?

Only lenders can modify or update reporting based on policy. Legal agencies cannot delete it, but some banks revise it after full and final closure negotiations.
