Credit card suit filed and write off status in CIBIL report
Hi,
I had a credit card with reputed nationalized bank in India. Today i see My CIBIL report stating that "SuitFiled and WrittenOff status" for XYZ Bank credit card.
I am ready to follow all the steps of legal law. I don't want to damage my CIBIL score. Kindly suggest a solution to my problem.
Details are as follows:
1. In 2013 i availed loan for around 1.8 lakhs and converted into 24 EMI's. After that i decided not to use credit card and asked bank to block the card accordingly bank blocked the card and not issued any new card.
2. I paid EMI's regularly and in the mean time i got a job in abroad and traveled to abroad
3. From abroad also i paid 23 EMI's with in the time , i paid many EMI's in advance.
4. In Jan-2015 i verified credit card statement balance details are below.
In Jan-2015:
Total Amount due is -10,000.70 ( minus ten thousand eighty three), minus indicates i paid more than due amount
Total outstanding : 300.00 ( from these 2 it is clear that total loan paid)
5. Here i misunderstood the statement and assumed that i paid more than due amount and called to customer care, customer care representative also told that i paid more than due amount since it s a blocked card this account is going to close automatically.
6. today(Mar-31-2017) i got a cibil report and i was shocked that this credit-card account is showing "Suit Filed and Written off status", then i opened all my pass statements and understood that for not paying
300 Rs XYZ bank added penalties and sent letters to my email to pay nearly 6000Rs.
7. Since i re-located to Abroad and i was not staying in the address mentioned in credit card account i am not aware of this infirmation
8. As per my knowledge i can't trust bank because i paid 23 EMI's regularly with in the time and
24th emi also paid in advance , Since 24th emi 2500Rs paid in advance 300 Rs outstanding balance remained.
9. For 300 Rs outstanding balance XYZ bank added more than 1000Rs as penalty contineously for 5 months and finally they sent my account details to CIBIL.
10. Couple of postings suggested pay full due and getrid off the SuiteFilled-WriteOff status from CIBIL. I am ready to pay due amount but i feel Bank is not 100% right because
a. for outstanding due of 300 Rs out-of 1,80,000/- bank killed my next 10 years future
b. Paid 23 EMI's in time, 24th EMI also paid 90% in in-time.
11. I am ready to pay this due amount also but i want to bring this situation towards the court of law and will pay this as per the court guidelines
Kindly assist me.

I agree checking my emails is my responsibility, do you think this mistake is roadblock for us for to approach court/consumer court ?
I am ready to pay due amount with fines to Bank, though i pay the full amount with fines Bank won't revert back CIBIL entries, Hardly Bank will change the status from WriteOff to closed but Delayed Payment entry ( DPD ) won't remove, since they already sent writeoff this account DPD's will stay in CIBIL for next 10 years. Any how i won't get bank loans for next 10 years.
I am trying to reach XYZ bank customer care but while entering credit card number it says card number is invalid.
Need following details from you so that i can take a decision about next steps
1. I am ready to pay legal fee, bank current due payment with fines ( as on today total due amount is nearly 6000 Rs. based on my
card statements actual due is 300 rs and remaining are penalties)
2. How much is legal fee ?
3. End of the day if loose the court-case how much XYZ bank can demand from us ( current due + bank's court fee + extra fines)?
4. Based on my credit card statements i am sure i paid principle + interest amount +their extra fees continuously for 24 months except
300 Rs
I am sure bank will definitely argue all these are agreed conditions.
Once bank&my self produces card statements , at-least as a customer we get a chance to put positives and negatives in card statements in court
5. No need to lie about anything, I want to put all the facts in-front of court then it is court decision.
By reviewing credit card statements court may give some guidelines to bank for corrections according to RBI guidelines ?
6. If i won the case what is the advantage ?
Kindly suggest me so that i can take a decision to move forward
