If Hero FinCorp has filed a court case for non-payment of the loan, do not ignore the court notice or summons. Obtain a copy of the case, loan agreement, statement of account, and payment records, and verify the amount claimed. You may contest any incorrect claim and, depending on your financial position, seek a lawful settlement or repayment arrangement. Consult an experienced lawyer to determine the appropriate legal response. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.

Dear Client, Firstly, do not ignore the summons and check whether it is a civil recovery case, arbitration, or a Section 138 cheque-bounce complaint, loan default alone is generally civil. Hire a lawyer and appear on the stated date. Request a written OTS or restructuring from Hero FinCorp, if settled, record the settlement in court.

Dear Client, If Hero FinCorp Ltd. has issued you a recovery case, the very first thing for you to do is to go through the court summons, loan agreement, payment history, and claim amount. It is important that you appear in the court within the stipulated time period. We will be able to look into the claim made by the lender, offer any legal defences and if required negotiate a settlement.
