Now pay credit card dues as a loan
New Delhi: Making the payment process easy for credit card dues, many Indian banks are offering schemes to credit card holders to convert their credit card loan to a lower interest bank loan on a long tenure, reports Economic Times.
Almost all major banks, including ICICI Bank and Citibank, are offering similar schemes but don't want to publicize them, which could increase the risk of more card users defaulting on regular obligations and opting for these easier settlement options. A senior ICICI Bank official said, "There are various structured payment plans that we've been offering. These limited schemes are worked out in consultation with the customer as an alternative repayment plan."

So, now if any person has an outstanding loan of around
2 lakh and are paying an interest as high as 18 percent, you can convert this into a regular loan, spread over a period of three years, where your interest rate may be as low as 12 percent. "We have a retention-oriented, assistance-based collections process, and if there is a genuine inability to pay, we work closely with customers to offer repayment solutions based on his or her cash-flows," said Sandeep Bhalla, Business Manager Cards, Citibank. Currently, Citibank hasank has around 2.5 million card holders. A spokesperson for CIBIL said that when a bank reports a restructured loan it gets captured as such in the CIBIL records and is reflected similarly in the credit report.
The credit card base had dropped 21percent to 21.1 million by the end of October 2009 from 26.7 million a year ago. Credit card outstanding has also declined by 12.13 percent to
5,660 crore at the end of October 2009, from 6,442 crore a year ago.

4: The reporting of 18 per cent interest on
credit card outstanding is wrong It is almost
50 per centage in some banks The higher
interest rate compounded by service tax lead
to accumulated debts even without using the
credit card and Paying minimum due would take
more than one's life time to clear the dues
The banks should encourage the settlement by
offering concessions and that should be
transparent A defaulter is offered the
concession upto 70 percent in some cases for
settlement but the loyal customer is denied
even a small percentage of concession this
trend should change

12: This is an excellent step. But what will
happen to those BLOCKED credit cards and the
defaulter customer is on the run...? Could
they take a U-TURN for repaying the
outstanding amount in respected manner
without any legal litigation..? And also...
settlement is possible on outstanding
amount..?
