Loan settlement ek smart option hai jab financial pressure high ho aur EMI manage karna mushkil ho.
Lekin, borrowers aksar common mistakes kar dete hain, jisse settlement ka benefit kam ho jata hai, aur kabhi-kabhi future borrowing bhi affect hoti hai.
Is blog mein hum top 5 mistakes batayenge aur tips denge ki kaise aap inse bach sakte ho.
1. Settlement Offer Without Proper Research Accept Karna
Bahut log pehla bank ka settlement offer dekhte hi agree kar lete hain.
Risk: Bank ka first offer negotiate karne ke liye hota hai. Agar aap research nahi karte, toh aap extra paisa pay kar sakte ho.
Tip:
-
Loan account ka full statement le lo
-
Market rates aur similar settlements check karo
-
Negotiation ka chance hamesha use karo
2. Verbal Agreement Pe Trust Karna
Kabhi-kabhi borrowers verbally bank se deal finalize kar lete hain, aur payment start kar dete hain.
Risk: Agar bank ne verbal terms ko confirm nahi kiya, toh legal ya financial disputes ho sakte hain.
Tip:
-
Hamesha written settlement letter lo
-
Letter mein final amount, due date, aur “full and final settlement” mention ho
3. Financial Planning Na Karna
Kuch log settlement ke liye immediate lump sum arrange karte hain, lekin baad mein cash crunch face karte hain.
Risk: Financial strain continue ho sakta hai, aur future debts handle karna mushkil ho jata hai.
Tip:
-
Settlement ke liye budget plan ready rakho
-
Savings aur emergency fund consider karo
-
Lump sum payment arrange karne se pehle planning zaruri hai
4. Credit Report Check Na Karna
Settlement ke baad bhi kuch borrowers apni CIBIL report check nahi karte.
Risk: Agar account “Settled” ka status nahi dikh raha, ya wrong entry hai, toh future loan approvals me problem aa sakti hai.
Tip:
-
Settlement ke 30–45 din baad credit report check karein
-
Galat entries ke liye dispute file karein
5. Alternatives Ignore Karna
Bahut log settlement ko first and only option samajh lete hain, jabki kuch alternatives available ho sakte hain:
-
Loan restructuring – EMI kam karna ya tenure extend karna
-
Partial payments – Interest aur penalties kam karna
-
Balance transfer – Lower interest rate par dusre bank me shift karna
Risk: Settlement hamesha credit score ko impact karta hai, jabki alternatives minimal impact ke sath relief de sakte hain.
Tip:
-
Har situation me alternatives explore karein
-
Expert guidance le kar best option choose karein
Conclusion
Loan settlement financial relief ka effective tool hai, lekin galat approach se yeh stress aur cost ka reason ban sakta hai.
Top 5 mistakes yaad rakhein:

Offer bina research accept karna
-
Verbal agreement pe trust karna
-
Financial planning ignore karna
-
Credit report check na karna
