    Debt recovery is, when a loan continues to go unpaid, and a creditor hires a third party, known as a collection service or Consultant, to focus on collecting the due debt from the debtor.

    There are several steps in the debt recovery process and it is important to know what to expect when you are contacted by a debt recovery agent. In fact, a financial debt can become an ugly situation, thus legislatures have established an elaborated debt recovery process and ensure that consumers are protected from harassing debt recovery practices.

    Civil Remedy: For civil remedy, the parties aggrieved may send a legal notice to the debtor for initiation of civil proceeding against them for the recovery of the due debts. It includes sending notice to the debtor for the due amount and on completion of limitation period of legal notice and then filing a complaint to initiate civil proceedings under Negotiable Instruments Act, Civil Procedure Code or Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.

    Criminal Remedy: For criminal remedy an aggrieved party may file an FIR against the debtor in the local police station having jurisdiction over the matter, and thus the proceedings will be set in motion. Once adequate evidences have been gathered and are taken up on record, criminal proceedings can be initiated under Indian Penal Code for quick disposal of matter.

    Out of Court Settlements: For a quick and efficient settlement, the aggrieved party may resolve the dispute and amicably settle the matter through mediation, arbitration or negotiation. For higher monetary value contracts, the best way to settle the matter and differences is through alternative dispute mechanism, such as Arbitration or Mediation or Conciliation. These methods are most effective against corporates entities as the matters can be resolved very expeditiously and amicably without furthering the losses they would normally have to bear without having to resort to the tedious and prolong court process.
