When A Borrower Fails To Repay The Loan!

By | September 20, 2017

When A Borrower Fails To Repay The Loan!

Many of us have taken loans to finance some of life’s major events: buying the family car, becoming homeowners, marrying off a family member, or paying for a medical emergency. Taking a loan helps us circumvent our lack of large sums of liquid cash. And, we pay back the loan with interest, in EMIs. Sometimes, because of circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to repay our loans in a timely manner. Inability to repay a loan for a prolonged period leads to the deterioration of the relationship between the borrower and the lender. This is usually a bank or a Non-banking Financial Company (NBFC). Such a situation needs active management. You must understand what consequences loan defaults will have.

Money owed should be repaid eventually, but let’s take a look at your rights as a loan defaulter, and how you can set the situation right.

The Consequences of Default

There are two major consequences of failing to repay your debts.

The first one is that your Credit Score will take a beating. All credit-related information of loan owners and Credit Card users is sent to CIBIL and other credit rating agencies. They know your credit history, end to end. Every loan application today requires a reading of your Credit Score. Your application is approved only if your Credit Score is found favourable. If you default on your payments, your credit rating will go down. This will make taking loans in the future difficult, if not impossible.

Second, the property which was used as collateral for the loan can be repossessed and later auctioned by the lender after following a due legal process.

You are Given the Benefit of the Doubt

All borrowers are provided with the opportunity and have the right to approach the bank if there is any difficulty in repaying the instalments and to choose an option to restructure their debt to enable a smooth repayment process.

Preliminary notices are sent to the borrower mentioning the amount overdue with interest and penal interest. If the bank has reason to believe that the customer is wilfully delaying the repayment, or if the customer has not come forward with a definite plan of action to repay the dues, the bank can opt for legal proceedings. If there is a guarantor, the bank might approach him, as according to the guarantor agreement, he is supposed to pay the loan when the applicant defaults.

The follow-up from the bank will start as soon as a single repayment is missed. But, further proceedings depend upon the customer’s approach to the issue and his current circumstances. The legal procedures will definitely not emerge out of the blue, it is a process resorted to if initial measures do not yield results.

There are situations like death, ill-health or accidents that can unintentionally break the repayment schedule. In such cases, banks will give justifiable holidays to the customer or his family.

The Reserve Bank of India’s guidelines says that banks should give reasonable time to pay up and also forbids using ‘muscle power’ to recover loans. There is a laid down code of conduct which banks need to adhere to.

Steps to Take

There must be a reason why you haven’t paid your EMIs for a few months. You may have lost your job; you may have had an emergency which consumed all your savings; you may have paid a huge amount for your education, for your home, or some other urgent requirement.

Whatever may be the reason, if you’re unable to make your payments, you could consider one of these many options.

1. Defer your payments

You could inform the bank of your inability to temporarily make payments and seek an EMI holiday for a few months. A situation of this nature can occur during a job change or a temporary loss of business or employment. Banks can accept these as genuine reasons but may impose penalties for the deferment.

2. Reducing your EMI 

If you are struggling with the EMI amount, consider having the monthly outgo reduced. You can approach the lending institution and request them to increase your loan tenure. This would reduce your monthly EMI amount though you may end up paying a higher amount in interest. Once your financial situation is sturdier, you should increase the EMI amount again.

3. Restructuring the loan

If a borrower is unable to maintain the terms and conditions of his loan, he can request the lender to relax the same. This may lead to a reduction of charges, lowering of interest rate, lengthening of the loan tenure, a moratorium on interest, etc.

4. One-time settlement

This option is usually exercised when a borrower is unable to repay his loan to the extent that his interest accrued is larger than the principal amount. The lending institution would have already classified the loan as a non-performing asset (NPA) at this stage. The borrower may be bankrupt or in no position to make further payments. He may get the option to settle the loan through a small payment. Recently, a bank offered a settlement offer to its NPAs in the education loan sector, in which up to 90% of the principal and 100% of the interest were waived off. But, exercise due caution accepting this offer: your credit report will reflect the fact that you could not repay your loan fully, and therefore your Credit Score will be affected.

Getting Back to Financial Health

Analyse your situation and have a realistic estimate for when you can restart paying your loan. Treat this as a priority. It is human tendency to start avoiding calls and messages from the bank. Do not do this. Inform the bank as soon as you can about any change in your circumstances that prevents you from paying them.

Work with the bank and work out a time-frame for your repayment. If your reasons for not paying up are genuine, the banks usually give you leeway.

If possible, try to get your friends and family to arrange for a few EMIs. This will give you some breathing space while you focus on finding a long-term solution to your financial problem.

Finally, control your expenses and prioritise between essential and non-essential spending. Minimize eating outside, going to the movies, making impulsive purchases, and other discretionary expenses. These little savings will add up to a bigger sum that will get you closer to repaying your debt.

Remember that repaying the bank to the full extent of your dues is not only your legal responsibility but also a moral obligation. You can seek ways of easing the situation temporarily but ensure that you finally clear all dues and not let your creditworthiness be harmed.

            Hi Jos, Kindly get in touch with the bank/banks from which you have taken the Credit Cards and Personal Loans. Explain your situation to them. They may or may not be willing to reduce the EMI but you can try your luck. Also, try to pay your EMIs on time. Not paying on time or defaulting on payments will hurt your ability to borrow in the future. Cheers, Team BankBazaar.

      Hi Harsh,
      Thanks for writing to us. Check your loan documents to know what repercussions for non-repayment of loan are. You must ensure that the financier is following these rules. If not, you could consider legal action. It is always best to have a discussion with your financier to settle things amicably.

      Dear Satish,
      When you take a Car Loan, the car gets hypothecated to the bank. Check the terms of your Car Loan and to find out what the contract says about non-payment of you EMIs. Talk to your bank to reach an amicable settlement to get your car back. You can read this article for more information about this- What to look for in a Car Loan agreement.

      Dear Rockey,
      Thanks for writing to us. Banks generally use legal action as a last resort. Please ask your bank for a time extension to repay your loan. Write a letter to the Head Office of your bank explaining your situation and your intention to repay the loan. If there is no positive response, tell them that you might have to file a petition in the High Court and file the same. Generally, the court permits such borrowers to repay the loan at a lower interest rate. However, it might be best to reach an agreement with your bank.

      Dear Piyush,

      Thanks for your valuable feedback. You need to pay your EMI as net transfer or cheque to your loan account. EMIs are not ordinarily collected in the form of cash and it is essential to have some form of proof of payment. If you have given cash to a bank employee, talk to your bank about this and try to identify the employee, if possible.

Usually banks understand situations like this and try to turn things around in the best possible manner. If nothing works out, get legal advice.

    If a person who has borrowed loan for 60month tenure and he paid loan 30 months he skips 31st, 32 nd loan repayment and expires and his family members repays principal of loan on 36th month and request to waived off interest for bank but bank didn’t consider this request. So is there any way to approach bank to waive off interest since we have done one time principal settlement.

      Hi Madhu,

      Usually banks take this up on a case-to-case basis. You can give a written request to your bank to consider your situation. You can also talk to the nodal officer of the bank to see if he/she could convince the bank officials at the branch where you are transacting to consider your case. But note that this is totally at the discretion of the bank.

      Banks usually negotiate terms of a loan only under extraordinary circumstances such as a job loss. It is unlikely that a bank will agree to change the terms just because a customer has taken another loan. You can, however, approach your bank and check if they will consider your request.

      If you are the guarantor for your friend’s loan, then you will be responsible if your friend doesn’t repay the loan. If you didn’t sign any papers during the sanctioning of the loan then the bank will not approach you for any payments.

      Hi Viwaan,

      Talk to your bank and explain your situation. Work towards a settlement. If the local branch is not willing to listen, write to the headquarters with all your details. Usually, banks understand such situations and try to turn things around in the best possible manner. If nothing works out, get legal advice.

    Hi,

    I took a loan from Kotak and every month deduction use to happen. I changed my company and Bank . Few months back, I received a message : If salary is not maintained, maintenance charge will be taken. I approached Kotak bank, they asked me to get 2 check leaf of HDFC and they will change to ECS (Not sure with the name). Next Satrday, they were like “they can ‘t do anything from here, I need to go to Kotak house. Another Saturday, i went to Kotak house: They said, they can’t do anything either I can close or go for ECS. Later I got frustrated and ignored everything. yesterday, on transferring the amount to my Kotak Salary account, I see 1300 has been charged. On asking these Kotak people were like I need to maintain 10k and they will refund the amount but they didn’t tell me about NOVA account where I just need to maintain 5k. So i have decided not to pay the Loan amount untill I get my money refunded. Could you please help me in this situation.

    1. What will happen, If I won’t pay the loan?
    2. I have approached these guys many times, but no proper suggestion (I asked them I can close the remaining loan amount using my HDFC credit card : no proper response)

    I have tried all possible way to ask them to help me but no proper suggestion. It will be great, If you could help me with the steps which I need to take forward.

      Dear Arun, When you change your company and salary doesn’t get credited to the account, the bank converts it into a savings account where you need to maintain a minimum balance. This might be the reason why charges have been levied. If you don’t pay your loan, it will affect your Credit Score and might also result in late payment fees. If you were not intimated regarding the conversion of your salary account to savings account, we suggest you talk to Kotak regarding the same and ask them to reverse the charges. You can even write to their headquarters. As a last resort, you could approach the Banking Ombudsman.

    Hi,

    I took home loan from DHFL in Nov’2015 which started defaulting from Apr’2016 due to Marital dispute where my spouse said that she will not let go the property and will take care of EMI’s I’ve moved out of property she resides there. however she has not paid single EMI till date, I approached DHFL with my situation they said earlier that they will repossessed my property per legal process.
    NOTE: property is on joint name and in loan i’m applicant and my wife is co-applicant:

    Question:
    1) When I approached bank that i’m ready to surrender my property from my just to save my CIBIL record they said they can’t do anything with that. Do I stand a chance to get out the situation without going legal
    2) Recently one of the recovery agent said that they will deduct EMI directly from my salary (Can they really do that?). which I DO NOT want because i’m on rent with my parents cannot survive with half salary. Is there any way I can stop bank from taking EMI directly from my salary?

    Please advise!!!

    I have took Educational loan in XYZ bank in 2009. I was irregular or never paid my interest. In the Mid 0f 2016; Particular Bank approached me to repay my loan as one time settlement.#They Insisted to do so, as my name is in willful defaulters list# Actually i have a plan to take a Home loan. so, I have given a nod to them and through OTS I settled my loans. I never knew this process would have a impact on my cibil scores. out of curiosity i checked my cibil scores, which cibil replied that”we would like to inform you that cibil maintains credit data of individuals as submitted by credit institutions. based on the info provided by you, we are unable locate your information in our records. Later I approached Bank to enquire regarding OTS and how it will affect my cibil score. They Have checked in my records and replied that “form 24 and aadhar card docs ain’t available in your records. hoping so it wont affect your cibil score”. This is my Situation Pls help. Also shed the lights on ,How cibil traces the pipeline of the credit history oa an individual?

      Hi Ragav,

      CIBIL reports have your name, date of birth, address, and identification numbers( like PAN, passport number, voters number and telephone number) as reported by member banks and credit institutions. They usually identify an individual using one of the IDs that you might have given to the bank. Try providing CIBIL with your PAN and check if they have corresponding report for that ID.

    Is it possible to request for a write-off of a home loan, whose tenure is varying (due to floating rate of interest) and amounts to over 30+ years ?

    If so, what are the required steps / process to go ahead with such a loan-write-off request in case of private corporate banks (such as ICICI Bank / HDFC Bank etc) ? If this is not possible, what is the maximum duration that one can get as an EMI holiday ?

    This is needed as my job’s / career’s nature is volatile and becoming a defaulter for more than 3 months or so is quite possible. In such cases, at least a minimum of 3 -6 months as EMI holiday should be offered. Please suggest / advice.

    Hi Sir,

    I took a personal loan from ICICI in 2006, I paid half of the loan until 2009 when I lost my job. This was good 7 years ago. I could not pay the remaining loan.

    Now when I see my CIBIL report, I see that it i still showing as outstanding since 900 days. Why is the ICICI bank cheating in my CIBIL report, they are supposed to write off the loan as per NPA norms ( they can still try to recover though).

    How do I report this to CIBIL that it is not outstanding since 900 days but outstanding since 7 years and this should have been written off.

    I know why ICICI is keeping them on CIBIL report, only to harass people.

    Please guide me how to approach. Can I approach Consumer Court for harassment as they did not follow NPA norms?

    Reply
    1. Team BankBazaar

      Hi Krishna, Until the loan is settled, the loan will appear on your CIBIL report as a ‘default’. If you are working now, you might need to repay the loan to get it off your CIBIL report. Writing off an NPA is done by banks as a balance sheet cleaning exercise and is not mandatory. Once the loans are recovered, they need to show those on their profit and loss account. For more clarity, please get in touch with a Chartered Accountant.

      Hi Yogesh, It is not possible for banks to attach property that doesn’t belong to the borrower. Your loan applications might get rejected because you have a low Credit Score. We suggest that you speak with a bank that you already have a relationship with, to find out if they will grant you a loan. Also, try speaking with HDFC bank and check if they will increase your loan tenure so that the EMIs are reduced.

My wife is a only child for my uncle. so all 19 shg members family fight with my wife and said that pay rs.88000 for her mother. My uncle , aunty and my aim was not fraud the debt. My uncle and aunty is no more from 2014, me and my wife are not aware about this debt, because my marriage is love and inter caste marriage , so before my aunt death i am not attach with her family. The distance between my native place and my uncle native palae is more than 300 km. In 19 shg members some peoples fighting with me and some others crying.

    Hello Team,
    I have taken a personal loan from 5 banks. It was an emergency medical situation of my mom and then to complete her wish to see the wedding of my younger brother. So, I spent entire loan amount on medical expenses and Wedding of my younger brother. He is a businessman and is supposed to help me on repaying the loan emi. However he is in a big loss now. He could not help me in repaying the loans. I am earning 50000 / month. It will be very difficult for me to pay all these emis more than my earnings and run both the families.
    As of today I have never missed the emi. I really want to pay the loan amount.
    What can I do? Please advise.

    Dear Sir,
    My friend has signed as a guarantor for a car loan, after 5, 6 dues the borrower stopped repaying the instalments. My friend along with bank staff approached the borrower several times but there was no response. Finally, the bank seized the vehicle and sold the vehicle. Now the bank wants to file suit against the borrower and the guarantor for NPA. As a guarantor, my friend is very depressed, I kindly request you advice some possible remedy in this case.

      Hi Vijay Mishra,

      We are extremely sorry to hear about your situation.

      If the loan you have taken is a Home Loan, you should check if you have taken an insurance policy to cover the the loan. Though this is not mandatory, banks usually insist that borrowers take this insurance as it provides a job loss cover. We suggest that you get some legal help and talk to the bank about making a one-time settlement.

    Hi Team,

    I received Education loan in 2011 and I have repaid only less amount. I still have outstanding of over 10 lakh rupees. I also have two credit card aprox 50,000 each. I could repay any of these three loans as I had no job. Now I am planning to move abroad as Skilled immigrant as I have solid education record and everything. My points to get invitaion is pretty good and there’s a possibility that I will get an invitation soon.
    I am financially in a bad state right now. I should be able to repay my loans once I move to foreign country with good salary. Now I am worried if my visa may get rejected due to unpaid loans. Please suggest me in which cases my visa may get rejected due to outstanding loan. Also how much percentage can I pay to get NOC from the banks in order to be out of radar until I move abroad.

      Hi Rick A. Pearson, The best way to repair your Credit Score is by clearing your dues and repaying EMIs in a timely manner. Financial products like loans and Credit Cards can both increase and decrease your Credit Score depending on how you handle them. Hence, it is advisable that you use them diligently. A loan or a Credit Card is a responsibility and has to be repaid. Defaults can negatively affect your Credit Score. Head over here to check your Credit Score for FREE. Cheers, Team BankBazaar

      Hi Dev, Explain your situation to the finance company and work out a convenient payment plan. If they are not willing to listen, then you’ll have to try and make the payments as soon as possible. And yes, your finance company reports to CIBIL. You can check your Credit Score for FREE here to know more. Cheers, Team BankBazaar.

    My father has taken a home loan with me and my brother as a co-borrower (father is borrower in the same). there after we both(me and my brother) have mutually decided to pay home loan emi in half-half. but later on my relation with my brother has been ruined. From last one year he is not paying his portion of emi, so all the emi is being paying by me from last one year, because i dont want to allow my cibil score go down.
    So kindly guide me that how do i get out of this problem, can bank split the loan amoung borrowers so that if another borrower’s makes default in emi than my cibil score may not go down.
    please guide me……….

      Hi RICO, A loan settlement doesn’t look good on your credit history and can hurt your score too. However, considering your current situation, if the finance company is asking you to pay the settlement amount, it would be something you can consider provided you have the means to pay it as requested. Else, you can try negotiating once again with the finance company. Cheers, Team BankBazaar

      Hi Jayaraju, When you take a loan, you are taking on the responsibility of paying it back on time too. We understand that you had issues owing to which you missed your payment deadlines. However, the only option for you is to talk to Axis Bank and ask them for help regarding the repayments. If they are not willing to help, then you’ll have to look for other ways to settle the loan. For instance, you could borrow from your friends or relatives. Cheers, Team BankBazaar

      Hi Sanjeet, If the principal borrower defaults, then it becomes the guarantor’s responsibility to settle the loan. If you, as the guarantor, defaults, then your Credit Score will take a hit and in the future lenders will not be willing to give you a loan. Why don’t you consider taking legal help?

      Hi Adesh, Loans come with an interest rate. And obviously, by the end of your loan tenure, you will be paying more than what you actually borrowed. For instance, if you take a Personal Loan of Rs. 5 lakhs for a tenure of 3 years at 12% interest rate, you’ll end up paying Rs. 5.98 lakhs by the end of the loan tenure. Cheers, Team BankBazaar

    Sir
    My name is Joselin John. When my father-in-law died my wife including her two sisters became owners of his property. One sister pledged the property in a private bank and the other sisters became co-borrowers in the business loan. The loan amount comes to about Rs. 3 crores. My question is, in the eventuality of the bank auctioning off the land to recover the loan amount, will the co-borrowers’ other properties (not given to the bank as surety) be liable for attachment by the bank? My property (not pledged to the said bank) is jointly owned by my wife and myself and lies adjacent to the pledged property, can the bank attach our property in the eventuality of an auction or sale proceeds?

    We have unsecured business loan from few bankers and could not pay the loan after 6 to 9 months of EMIs due to slow down in business. as the matter of fact, some of EMIs we paid in 2 months delay for the past couple of months and we still have 2 months default. But the banker is pressuring us as they don’t want to cross the NPA period and almost every week i get a call from various departments in the same bank (recovery, collection, sales, credit etc). I am badly depressed and always have a fear in me that does not let me concentrate on any other works. We will take almost one year time to settle our bank full loan as we have to some of our inheritance property expected to be sold. how can i handle the banker till then and how can i avoid their calls? Or can i appoint any lawyer to handle on my behalf as i am deeply stressed attending bankers.

      Hey Jola,

      Thanks for writing in. You’re right, in the event that a borrower fails to repay loan EMIs on time, the guarantor can try to make the borrower see reason and help her/him out as much as possible to repay the debt.
      Unless the borrower is a wilfull defaulter, and there’s a genuine reason for which he/she is unable to repay the loan, the guarantor can reach out to the concerned lender and try working out other repayment options such as deferring the payment, reducing the EMI, making a one-time settlement or even restructuring the loan.
      If all else fails, we suggest that the guarantor get in touch with a legal counsel to sort this matter.
      We hope this helps.

    Hi I have signed as a gaurantor for car loan of my relative.
    There is lapse in paying emi and bank has send the request letter to borrower. Total balance loan is around 3 lakhs and valuation of car is more or less the same as on date. If bank takes away the car would I need to pay if their is any difference in valuation of car and loan amount?

    Reply
    1. Team BankBazaar

      Hi Swapnil,

      Thanks for getting in touch. If your relative has trouble making loan payments, it’s wise for him/her to talk with your lender. Banks, in general, have options to help you under circumstances when you can’t repay your loan.

      In case the loan can’t be repaid, and it comes down to repossession of the car, the lender is likely to eventually send the car to an auction for sale. In case that happens, you’ll have to pay the difference between the amount that the car sold for and the remainder of the loan balance. Just as the original borrower, the guarantor is responsible for the loan and will have to repay the loan if the borrower can’t pay the loan.

      Before such a scenario occurs, we suggest you ask your relative to communicate with their lender as it can make a huge difference between keeping the car and having it repossessed. All the best!
