Financial stress ke time loan settlement ek lifeline ho sakta hai. Lekin aksar borrowers is process me galti kar dete hain — ya toh proper negotiation nahi karte, ya emotional approach le lete hain.
Is blog mein hum step-by-step tips denge ki kaise aap apna loan settlement bank ke saath effectively negotiate kar sakte hain aur unnecessary cost bachayein.
Step 1: Apni Financial Situation Ko Clearly Assess Karein
Bank ke saamne negotiation start karne se pehle, apni financial situation ka realistic assessment karna zaruri hai:
-
Total outstanding loan amount
-
Principal vs interest portion
-
Monthly income and expenses
-
Savings aur emergency fund
Tip: Agar aap precise numbers ke saath jaate hain, bank aapko serious borrower samajhta hai aur negotiation easier ho jata hai.
Step 2: Bank Se Contact Karein
Aksar log settlement ke liye wait karte hain jab bank recovery call kare. Ye mistake hai.
Pro Tip:
-
Khud proactive ho kar bank ko contact karein
-
Honest aur professional tone maintain karein
-
Financial hardship explain karein (salary slip, medical bills, job loss proof, etc.)
Step 3: Settlement Offer Negotiate Karein
Bank aksar initial settlement amount high rakhta hai. Yahi aapka negotiation ka mauka hai.
Tips for Smart Negotiation:
-
Calm aur professional rahiye — emotional ya aggressive approach avoid karein
-
Apne repayment capability aur hardship documents highlight karein
-
Research karein ki market me similar settlements ka average kya hai
-
Agar possible ho, lump sum payment offer karein — bank discount dene ke liye ready hota hai
Step 4: Written Settlement Letter Zarur Le
Verbal agreement pe kabhi trust mat karein.
Letter me ye points clear hone chahiye:
-
Total settlement amount
-
Payment due date
-
“Full and Final Settlement” mention ho
Tip: Payment ke saath receipt aur transaction record bhi maintain karein.
Step 5: Payment Plan aur Record Maintain Karein
Settlement ke liye lump sum ya structured payment plan ho sakta hai.
Tips:
-
Payment ka method traceable ho (bank transfer, cheque)
-
Receipts aur emails save karein
-
Settlement ke 30–45 din baad CIBIL report check karein, account “Settled” show ho raha hai ya nahi
Step 6: Credit Score Ko Future Ke Liye Protect Karein
Settlement ka negative impact CIBIL score par hota hai, kyunki aapne full repayment nahi ki.
Tips to Rebuild Credit:
-
Existing loans aur credit cards ka timely payment
-
Credit utilization 30% ke neeche maintain karein
-
Secured credit card ya small personal loans responsible use karein
