icon Credit card payment

Legal advocate from bank side contacting me and threatening like pay your bill now or i will file a complaint later tou should deal this with court. How can i deal this case


A. Dear client, if you haven't paid the credit card bill they will impose penalty and charges over you due. If you are not paying after months then they can file a case on you for the outstanding amount. If you are unable to pay you can settle this matter amicably by discussing the terms of OTS- one time settlement with certain percentage of total amount.

icon Joint account Chaque with minor signature only

I lend 2.3 lakhs to someone and for security he gave me a blank chaque with only signature but the problem is it’s a joint account chaque and the person gave me chaque is minor in that joint account


A. Dear client, both members must sign a cheque for a joint account. A minor can write a check, but it must be countersigned by a parent. A minor account holder can use a chequebook to withdraw money from their account, but they cannot issue or draw a cheque in favour of a third party. If a minor gives a cheque and it has been dishonoured, the legal guardian who is a joint holder of the minor's checking account is liable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881.

A. Dear Client,

In case of mishandling of cheque leafs and promissory notes, one may consider filing a complaint of cheating with the police. While the police may not take immediate action, lodging such a complaint serves as a defensive measure against potential false accusations from the other party in the future. This action can be crucial for safeguarding one's interests and ensuring legal protection in case of any disputes.

A. Dear Client,,
Based on the Bond, you can serve a legal notice to the person demanding payment of the loan failing which you have to file a money suit against your relative in the Civil Court. Reach out to an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A. Dear client
As you have taken a loan you have to pay it back.There is no alternative to it but you can do is file an application to delay the payment reback procedure.
Sometimes depending upon the clause, you need to go for either arbitration or any other way out.
Send a legal notice to the loan giver authority/agency and request for time.
