₹7 lakh in HDFC Credit Card dues,
and the bank is ready to settle it for just ₹80,000.
My friend has been using the same Credit Card for the last 8 years.
But after suffering heavy financial losses, his situation became so difficult that he has now missed his third payment.
The bank’s Collections Team contacted him and said
"Settle the ₹7 lakh dues for ₹80,000. It’s better to make a decision before the account becomes NPA."
On the surface, it sounds like an incredible deal
₹7 lakh outstanding
settled for just ₹80,000.
That’s a ₹6.20 lakh reduction,
But that’s where the real concern begins.
What happens to his Credit Report after the settlement ?
Could it make getting a Loan or Credit Card difficult in the future ?
And if he eventually pays the remaining amount, can the "Settled" status be removed ?
The Collections Manager claims that he can later pay the balance amount with interest and improve his CIBIL score.
But the big question is
Is all of this in writing ?
During a financial crisis,
borrowing ₹80,000 from relatives based only on a verbal promise may not be the safest decision.
On the other hand, continuing the payments may simply not be possible,
and the account is moving toward NPA.
So he seems to be stuck between two difficult choices,
Arrange ₹80,000 today and settle,
or save whatever money he can,
explore other options and take the risk of the account becoming NPA.
If you were in his place, what would you do
accept the settlement
or first get everything in writing from the bank and explore other options ?
Jinks, congratulations on a great career, buddy. You’ve done wonders for Indian cricket, and you can be very proud of your journey. The safest pair of hands in the slips and my favourite Test batting partner. Wishing you well always. God bless. 🤝🇮🇳
