Why Expert Advice Matters in Loan Settlement
Knowledge is Power. Banks have entire legal and recovery teams working to maximize their collections. As a borrower, you are often unaware of your rights, RBI guidelines, and negotiation leverage. A fair fight requires equal knowledge.
A simple mistake in communication - like accepting a "fake" settlement letter or admitting you have funds when you don't - can ruin your chances of a favorable settlement. Our free consultation bridges this knowledge gap, ensuring you make informed decisions that protect your future.
Are you worried about legal notices? Do you fear the knock on your door? We provide clarity where there is confusion. We strip away the fear tactics used by agents and give you the legal facts.
Our Promise
"We provide honest, actionable advice. If settlement isn't right for you, we will tell you upfront."
What Happens in a Consultation?
Our consultation is not a sales pitch. It is a diagnostic session for your financial health. Here is what we analyze during the call:
Debt Profile Analysis
We categorize your loans into Secured vs Unsecured, check interest rates, and identify which lenders are most aggressive vs which are open to settlement.
Harassment Assessment
Are agents visiting your home? Threatening calls? We assess the severity of harassment and advise on immediate legal steps to stop illegal recovery tactics.
Eligibility Check
We check if your "Hardship" (Job loss, medical issue) is strong enough to convince the bank's credit committee for a good waiver.
Savings Strategy
We help you calculate a realistic budget. How much can you save monthly? How long will it take to accumulate the settlement fund?
Legal & Risk Review
We review any legal notices you have received (138 NI Act, Arbitration) and tell you which ones are genuine and which are fake intimidation tactics.
Credit Rebuilding Road
Analysis is not just about today. We explain how settlement impacts your score and sketch a brief plan on how you can rebuild it over the next 24 months.

Who Should Book This Consultation?
Loan settlement counselling is not for everyone. It is specifically designed for borrowers who are in genuine distress.
Ideal Candidates
- ✓Missed 3+ EMIs on Personal Loans
- ✓Facing severe salary cuts or job loss
- ✓Credit card debt spiraling out of control
- ✓Receiving legal notices causing anxiety
- ✓Borrowing from A to pay B (Debt Trap)
- ✓Mental health affecting daily life due to calls
Who Should NOT Book?
To respect our experts' time and help those in real need, please do not book if:
- ✕You can comfortably pay your EMIs but just want a discount. (Lenders will reject this).
- ✕You want to settle a Secured Loan (Home or Car Loan). (These cannot be settled easily without losing the asset).
- ✕You are looking for a new loan immediately. (Settlement stops you from getting new loans).
How to Prepare for the Call
ℹWhat to Have Ready
- • List of Creditors: Names of all banks and apps you owe money to.
- • Outstanding Amounts: Approximate total due for each loan.
- • Current Status: How many days/months overdue? (Standard, SMA, or NPA).
- • Notices: Any legal notice or arbitration letter received recently.
?What We Will Ask
- • "What caused your financial difficulty? (Job loss, medical, etc)"
- • "How much disposable income do you have monthly for savings?"
- • "Are you receiving threads from recovery agents?"
- • "Do you have any assets to liquidate to avoid settlement?"
Hard Questions You Must Ask
Whether you choose SettleLoans or any other agency, you must protect yourself. Always ask these questions during your consultation:
1. "Are you a law firm or a call center?"
Many agencies are just call centers with no legal backing. Ensure there are real lawyers involved to handle notices.
2. "How do you charge fees?"
Avoid companies charging huge upfront fees before doing any work. Look for success-fee based or reasonable monthly subscription models.
3. "Will you stop the calls?"
No one can legally "block" calls, but a good agency will route calls to themselves and file grievances against harassment.
4. "Is settlement guaranteed?"
If anyone says "Yes, 100%", run. Settlement depends on the bank. Honest agencies give probabilities, not false guarantees.
Warning Signs: Spotting Scams
Be careful if an agent:
- ⚠ Tells you to change your phone number (This makes you a 'wilful defaulter').
- ⚠ Promises to "delete" the loan from your CIBIL report (Impossible).
- ⚠ Asks you to transfer the settlement amount to the agency's personal account instead of the bank.
- ⚠ Claims to be a government official or RBI employee.
