Banks may offer one time settlement by compromise or settle the dues thru Lok adalath or other modes of recovery procedures.

After exhausting all the chances of a compromise settlement of credit card default dues, banks may be forced to go for filing a suit against the defaulter and other co-obligants or sureties, if any, for recover of dues. once after getting the favourable judgement, they may take suitable action for enforcing the recovery procedure as suggested in the court order.

Bank would assign this job to some recovery agent who would call you and your references to pay the bank, if he is unable to get the recovery done, then the bank will resort to legal means.

Legal team of the bank can file a recovery suit which is civil in nature and can get you hooked in long terrible court proceedings.

One can also be made criminally liable for default as well if recovery amount is high. But usually civil procedures are occured.

Bank can freeze your bank accounts if it’s part of your agreement.

They may file money recovery suit and may even bring any property lying on your name to be attached by the court for the purpose of security.

They may indulge in some illegal methods also to recover the amount.

In that case you may approach police seeking protection

  2. Now, if you have used either of the facility, you will to repay the same within the period of 45 days.
