Hello,

No suit can be filed by you.

The bank will invoke the arbitration clause and thereafter you can raise your concern before the arbitrator only.

Tell your stance to the arbitrator. No suit can be filed by you for non payment.

You are defaulter, what case you will file ?

bank can`t do anything except filling recovery suit that also after many months.

Bank will try to settle matter out of court.

Having used the credit card and run up unpaid dues, you cannot now take the plea that you are ill and unemployed. In your own interest, reach a negotiated settlement with the bank and settle your dues early.

Sir bank can file the recovery suit against you for the payment outstanding the interest. And with the order from court they can attach your properties.

So it will be better to talk to bank reschedule your outstanding amount and emi.

See you such suit cannot legally stop bank from taking steps

Sir bank has given a loan and it has right to recover so it is better you settle it by borrowings because it will claim penalty and interest on further default.

You cannot file any case against the bank as you yourself have defaulted in making regular payments as per agreement. You should rather send a letter to the bank requesting them to give you an extension, owing to your medical condition.

If they do not give you an extension, the bank would initiate legal recovery against you by way of arbitration or suit for recovery. So it's best that you pay the bank and get rid of the legal cases.

You cannot file any suit agaisnt bank for any reason.

You can request the bank to restructure the loan and ease the repayment terms, but that will depend on the discretion of the bank authorities.

For default in loan repayment, the bank will initiate recovery action against you.

Previously took hand loan of Rs 1lac and paid. Now not in a position and cannot take again and jobless too. Searching jobs

This canot be claimed as an excuse for not repaying the loan.

You can request for easy repayment terms but you cannot avoid the legal action taken by bank for recovery of loan.

Though you will get time for repayment through court when you express your inability to repay the same at once.

2. You can not initiate any suit against bank at present situation.
