We are a company that resolves disputes related to credit limit misuse called Loan Settlement Lawyer, and we make sure that banks fix their mistakes, stop charging you for things you didn't do, and restore your good name.

What does it mean to misuse a credit limit?

There are many ways to misuse a credit limit:

Unauthorized Credit Limit Reduction: The bank lowers your limit for no reason, which causes transactions to fail and your credit score to go down.

Going over your credit limit without permission: The bank lets you spend more than your approved limit and then charges you a lot of money for going over it.

Fraudulent Transactions by Third Parties: An unauthorized individual utilizes your card and exploits your available credit limit.

Incorrect EMI Conversions: The bank changes transactions into EMIs without your permission, which stops you from using your credit limit.

Misuse of a linked account: A joint account holder or add-on cardholder goes over the agreed limit without telling you.

At first, the bank wouldn't reverse the charges because they said it was "customer negligence." Advocate BK Singh stepped in, sent a strong legal notice, and filed a complaint with the RBI Ombudsman. Within 30 days, the bank took back all the charges, restored the limit, and sent a written apology.
