Location: Indore, Madhya Pradesh

Debt Amount: ₹9,00,000 (3 Personal Loans + 2 Credit Cards)
Relief Type: Legal Freeze + Negotiated Settlements
Resolved In: 52 Days


💥 The Fall

Akash was working in an MNC and earning well. He had taken a few loans during COVID to support his parents’ hospital bills, home renovation, and to manage some EMI-based electronics.

But in January 2024, he was suddenly laid off due to downsizing.

With no income and EMIs running, Akash skipped payments for 3 months, and within no time:

  • His credit score dropped below 580

  • Banks began sending demand notices

  • Recovery agents started calling his HR and relatives

“It was like drowning slowly. I felt ashamed to even step out of the house.” – Akash Mehta

Our advisors assured him:

  • No bank can blacklist or threaten arrest.

  • Harassment through social media, HR or relatives is illegal.

  • Legal protection and negotiation are 100% possible even if income is zero.


🛠️ Step-by-Step Help We Gave:

  1. Account freeze protection letter was sent to stop unfair debits.

  2. Legal representation drafts were filed for 3 lenders to halt harassment.

  3. Akash was helped to apply for Lok Adalat negotiation window.

  4. A phased plan was created using his PF withdrawal + freelance income.


💡 Outcome After 52 Days

  • Total Outstanding: ₹9,00,000

  • Negotiated Final Settlement: ₹3,80,000

  • Waiver: ₹5,20,000

  • Payment done in 4 EMIs, interest-free.
