How Legal Intervention and Debt Management Saved a Chennai Professional from Financial and Emotional Overload

Challenge

A Chennai-based professional, who was supporting his family, found himself overwhelmed after a failed business venture led to substantial unsecured debt from multiple banks and app-based lenders. With a modest monthly income of ₹35,000 against a crushing total EMI burden of ₹45,300, he defaulted on payments.

The critical issue was not just the debt itself, but the unbearable mental stress caused by the relentless and often aggressive tactics of loan recovery agents. Persistent phone calls, threats of legal action, and a complete lack of control over the communication cycle left him severely distressed and unable to focus on his work or family. He urgently needed an authoritative voice to stand between him and his creditors.

Solution

In August 2024, the client approached SingleDebt. Recognizing the urgency of the harassment, SingleDebt immediately deployed its integrated support system—combining financial strategy with robust legal and paralegal intervention—to stabilize the client’s mental and financial situation:
