17-Year-Old Settled Loan Resurfacing: Standard Chartered & Shaha Finlease Harassment. Need Legal Advice
I am seeking urgent advice regarding a Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) Personal Loan , SAHA FINLEASE that was settled 17 years ago but has resurfaced as a "zombie debt."
• Settlement History (2009): i took a loan of 5 L and I entered into a formal settlement with SCB in July 2009. The total amount agreed upon was ₹1,65,000, which I paid on May 30, 2009 And the rest waived off
*( i have receipts ( proof) showing that the lender / bank has approved my payment and agreed for settlement and closure after waive off )*
The document agreed to close for a lower payment and I paid the first instalment as agreed now I’m getting repeated calls from shah finlease saying that my cibil says i have dues
• The Problem: While I have the physical Settlement Letter and Payment Proof, I do not have a formal Closure Certificate or No Objection Certificate (NOC).
• Current Harassment: Shaha Finlease Pvt Ltd (who bought this debt) and S.M. Legal are now calling me daily, using threatening and demanding ₹3,30,775. They claim the loan was never "closed" and are treating the waived portion from 2009 as an active default. They are saying I need to pay the remaining loan amount because my cibil says there are dues and my loan is not closed
They have sent a legal notice
I need guidance please DME I will share you the legal notice they sent me and the documents which I have regarding 2009 loan settlement
