Dear Madam,

You should thoroughly check the loan outstanding workings as the bank has a tendency to levy interest on interest and inflate the total outstanding amount due from you. You also should check and confirm whether the bank has applied the correct rate of interest as agreed at the time you availed a loan from them. Actually, the interest rate of co-operative banks for personal housing loans is supposed to be lower than nationalized banks.

If you cannot repay and settle the entire loan amount in one stroke, you should inform the bank about how and when you are going to settle of the loan repayment and convince them to wait until you settle off the entire loan in two or three installments.

Going to the Court will be a time consuming affair and you will unnecessarily spend on lawyers and the long time taken for the Court to decide the matter, which is not at all recommended.

Regards,
