CIBIL and the Law
"Do not intimidate credit card holders"
Special Correspondent
Reserve Bank issues draft guidelines to banks, NBFCs
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India has stated that banks and finance companies issuing credit cards should not resort to intimidation or harassment to recover dues.
"The banks or non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) and their agents should not resort to intimidation or harassment of any kind either verbal or physical against any person in their debt collection efforts, including acts intended to humiliate publicly or intrude the privacy of the credit card holders' family members, referees and friends, making threatening and anonymous calls or making false and misleading representations," the RBI said in its draft guidelines on Credit Card Operations issued here on Tuesday.
When banks outsource credit card operations, they had to be extremely careful that the appointment of such service providers did not compromise with the quality of the customer service and the bank's ability to manage credit liquidity and operational risk.
In the choice of the service provider banks had to be guided by the need to ensure confidentiality of the customer's records, respect customer privacy and adhere to fair practices in debt collection.
`Follow procedures'
Before reporting default status of a credit card holder to the Credit Information Bureau of India Ltd (CIBIL) or any other credit information company authorised by the RBI, the banks might ensure that they adhered to a procedure, duly approved by their board, including issuing of sufficient notice to such card holder about the intention to report him/her as defaulter to the Credit Information Company.

Use section 21 of the Credit Information Companies Rgulation Act 2005 to get copies of all your Credit Info Reports from your lenders. They will scream like hell before giving it to you - so be persistent.
Then apply to CIBIL and the others to get your CIRs corrected.

Hi
Iam had a loan from 2 banks when i had a a/c with X Bank. Now i switched to new Y Bank. now the ECS is getting returned every month from X Bank, also iam not able to make the manual payment for my loan's before the ECS gets executed, the banks allow only to make payment after the ecs is returned. Because of that my profile is updated in CIBIL. if i give a New ECS and make the payment on time. how long my data will be there in CIBIL.

I Had visited Cibil office in nariman point and met their officer he after giving me a patient hearing told me the cibil as such cannot help me but requested me to get the credit generator number from the banks if possible and then write to cibil which no banks are ready to give but thanks to the writer that under section 21 act i will ask the ICICI Bank and the American Express Bank to furnish the details and sue them for the damages they have caused to me as far as my credit ratings are concerned.

CIBIL is governed by Credit information companies act 2005, it is looked after by Reserve Bank of india.Cibil should provide once Credit information for the payment of Rs.100. this is th egovt of inida act. CIBIL cannot deny individuals information by the CIBIL, compain to RBI, DBOD division. a case can be filed in the court by the RBI. the cibil can be punished for a fine of rs. one lakh and the officers of the CIBIL can be jailed for one year.
come on use the opprtunity provided by the law and get out of the CIBIL

credit information companies regulation act is akin t TADA law.
it does not have the rules to enter the data into CIBIL or rules to delete the name from the CIBIL. once your name is put into the data base you are jailed for 7 years. no enquiry no appeal
this will benefit banks they can charge interst upto 100 percent per annum. if you fail you can be cibiled for 7 years. it is the reverse of east india rule
come on fight for the change or survival.
I had credit cards from 3 different banks and a 2 loans from other 2 banks. I have always tried to maintain my loans and credit cards, however from a few months i was overburdened with certain personal issues that couldn’t be neglected anymore so lost the balance of credit card repayments. The banks started contacting me and i told them that payments will be settled but i need time. They started harassing me day and night on my cell phone some of them where ladies who abused me. I am a very shy person by nature and never liked my name to be anywhere in negative. One of the credit card vendors who had my savings account with them debited some amount from my account with out my consent too and due to which i had several EMI bounces of one of my loans. Now ppl started knocking my door and threatened me however i told them i will arrange for a loan and settle there dues. so i contacted my bank with which i had a loan and asked for a top up. however that bank due to the EMI bouncing told me that cannot lend me now but try after months , we shall monitor ur transaction and will consider if u don’t have anymore defaults. I closed my savings accounts with that bank and transferred my loan to my sal account in another bank. In the mean time i had called all 3 card vendors to cancel my credit cards and give me a final amount. however they still keep there interests piling up on me. With many more harassment calls and abuses i stopped attending there calls as i was very frustrated and to the extent that i would get hysteric at times thinking of these repayments. Then i approached ICICI Bank for a loan so that i repay these credit cads from whom also i had a running personal loan. All went fine but at the end came to know it was denied to me as my name is now listed in CIBIL. I know i cant make immediate payments to these banks who are harassing me n my family mentally and are forcing to pay unless that i get this kind of a top-up loan and i can pay them back in monthly installments. Is there any way you can suggest that can i can get out of this mental torture and the CIBIL. I hate being in negative in any way.
hi ravi
i am a credit card defaulter one bank and i have 3 loans in 2 bank. i ve not paid the loan amount from last three month now am applied loan from one bank how can i take loan
Is there any emai ID where we can report Bank's behaviour to CIBIL or RBI?
Hi, I am right now struggling with ICICI Bank Credit Card to track a payment of >14000 made to them by HDFC Cheque. HDFC has given to me in writing that they made the payment to ICICI Bank. But ICICI is not clearing the issue. The due date is passed in this delay at their end. Now they want to put penalty/interest for delay which I am not liable to pay ideally as I made the payment 24 days before the due date and I moved out of India after that. Now I am afraid these ICICI buggers will do something in CIBIL even after tracking the payment done 20 days before due date.

Hi,
I have a dispute for Standard Chartered Credit Card Bill for last one year. Some "Insurance Charge" was applied to my bill, but i have not opted for any such serviced. I have many time talked to the Phone Banking Office. But no result. I have paid the amount i have spent. But not paid the service of Insurance which i have not opted. So i am getting bill for last one year. Now they want to settle with me for 1000 rs. against of 8000 Rs. But i am in no mood to pay the amount for which i am not liable. I have given written application as well as mailed to customer department.
Now i want to apply for Home Loan, will it affect my home loan application?
Please guide me.
Thanks,
Jimi Parekh.
