Loan recovery harassment is a distressing reality faced by many borrowers who struggle with repayments. At Guardian Legal Solutions, we specialize in legally protecting individuals from aggressive loan recovery tactics and helping them negotiate settlements effectively. In this case study, we’ll share the story of Rajesh Mehta, a client who was being harassed for loan recovery and how we helped him regain control of his financial life.
1. The Client’s Struggle: Harassment & Stress
Rajesh Mehta, a 42-year-old businessman from Mumbai, took a personal loan of ₹12 lakhs to expand his small business. However, due to unforeseen market downturns and a major client backing out, he faced financial losses and was unable to keep up with his EMIs.
As a result, his bank started: ✔ Making repeated harassing calls – sometimes 10-15 times a day ✔ Sending legal notices threatening legal action ✔ Sending recovery agents to his home and workplace, causing embarrassment ✔ Threatening to blacklist his credit profile
Rajesh, already dealing with financial stress, began experiencing anxiety and sleepless nights. The pressure from the recovery agents also strained his personal and professional life. He reached out to Guardian Legal Solutions for immediate help.
2. Our Legal Intervention: Stopping Harassment Calls & Home Visits
Upon assessing Rajesh’s case, our legal team took the following steps:
🔹 Sent a Legal Notice to the Bank – As per RBI guidelines, banks must follow ethical recovery practices. We formally notified the bank to stop harassment calls and avoid unauthorized home visits. 🔹 Requested an Immediate Moratorium – We negotiated for a temporary hold on collections due to Rajesh’s financial distress. 🔹 Applied RBI Guidelines on Loan Recovery – We ensured that recovery agents followed proper legal procedures and did not violate his privacy. 🔹 Negotiated a Loan Settlement Plan – Instead of full repayment, we arranged a reduced settlement amount that Rajesh could afford.
3. The Final Settlement: A Fair Resolution
After multiple negotiations with the bank, our team successfully: ✔ Reduced Rajesh’s loan amount from ₹12 lakhs to ₹5.5 lakhs. ✔ Waived penalties & extra charges that had been added due to default. ✔ Allowed a lump sum settlement payment in easy installments. ✔ Cleared his credit score issues, allowing him to apply for future loans. ✔ Ensured that recovery agents stopped all harassment immediately.
4. Key Takeaways: How You Can Protect Yourself
