Consumer Court Case for Mis-sold Loan

Consumer Court Case for a Mis-sold Loan: Legal Help for Borrowers

A loan can help you with personal or business needs, but what if the loan you were sold wasn't the one you were promised? In India, thousands of people get loans that are not what they seem. Banks, NBFCs, or loan agents trick them into taking loans by making false promises, hiding terms, or providing them wrong information.

Advocate BK Singh leads the team at Loan Settlement Lawyer, where we help clients file consumer court cases against lenders who sold them bad loans. We make sure they get their money back, get justice, and stop being harassed.

What constitutes a mis-sold loan?

A mis-sold loan happens when the lender or their agent gives the borrower false, incomplete, or misleading information about the loan terms, which costs the borrower money or time. This could mean:

The lender may charge a higher interest rate while promising a lower one.

Unauthorized addition of hidden fees for processing or insurance is a common practice.

Giving a personal loan as a business loan is an example of misrepresenting the loan type.

The borrower is not informed about any penalty clauses or foreclosure fees.

The borrower is compelled to purchase additional items, such as credit cards or investment plans, in addition to the loan.

A small business owner in Pune was promised a ?15 lakh business loan with no prepayment penalty and a 10% interest rate. After disbursing the money, the contract revealed a 14% interest rate and a substantial foreclosure fee. With our help, the consumer court told the lender to change the terms and give back any extra fees.
