Credit card loan repayment after a gap

They mention it is interest free loan and say there is 2% service charge in advertisements if it is citibank credit card.  They do not mention it is 2% per month or annum.  This is all violation of Consumer protection Act, 1986.  Approach consumer forum after finding out under which section you can make them liable.  It needs some time to apply your brain into it and which law he flouted.  They generally flout laws like this.  It is not difficult to proceed against them and get favorable judgment.  Do not fear tell them to go to court.  Any recovery agent must follow the rbi guidelines.  Read the guidelines of RBI in the following weblink you will get courage to face them:

Credit Card rules are different from General Banking rules.  You should not stop monthly payment.  If you stop payment the interest will be calculated for every month @ compoundable interest. Over and above, there will be financial charges, late payment charges, service charges, cess, and number of charges.  If you can sort out the problem and come to a best figure pay the amount.  If they do not reduce the payable amount, it is better to give legal notice and then file a consumer case against them. 

The interest on defaulted amount will get compounded hence the charges will look exorbitant.  You may talk to the Bank manager directly and get your loal restructured and arrive at a compromise for one time settlement too.

There are some legal ways to bang the exorbitant demand against Credit Card loan if the borrower follows legal action against the Bank.

File a suit and negotiate. you can get maximum waiver.

If you are really interested in repayment, approach the concerned bank and go for a one time settlement.Waiver of penalty is the sole discretion of the bank.Plead with them with them and they will certainly reduce the penalty.
