Our experienced debt collection lawyers assist clients in recovering outstanding debts through a strategic and legally sound approach, handling everything from demand letters to litigation if necessary. We are committed to helping you secure the payments you are owed while adhering to all relevant legal standards.
Whether you are dealing with overdue invoices, defaulted loans, or any other form of unpaid debt, our team is equipped to manage a wide range of debt collection cases. We understand the importance of timely and efficient debt recovery and work diligently to hold debtors accountable. With Zolvit by your side, you can trust that your case will be handled with precision and expertise, allowing you to focus on your business while we work to recover your debts.
Rules and Regulations
The other major source of recovery for banks and FIs is the ‘Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and Financial Institutions (RDDBFI) Act, 1993 which provides for expeditious adjudication and recovery of debts due from a defaulter bank account. Under this Act, the Debt Recovery Tribunals (DRT) were set up to provide for expeditious adjudication and recovery of unpaid debts.
Collecting debts is the process of collecting money owed to a creditor. We at Zolvit specialise in debt collection, negotiating settlements and sending demand letters to businesses and individuals.
Types of Debt Recovery Cases We Handle
Our debt recovery lawyers at Zolvit are experienced in handling a broad range of debt recovery cases. Since every case is different, we tailor our approach accordingly. The following types of debt recoveries are our speciality:
Business-to-Business (B2B) Debt Recovery
A collection process involves collecting unpaid invoices, breaches of contracts, or disputes over goods and services between companies. We help assess the situation and advise you on recovering your funds. We handle every aspect, from sending demand letters to negotiating settlements and taking legal action if necessary. Maintaining your business relationships while recovering your debts is our goal.
Individual Debt Recovery
Recovering debts owed by individuals. Personal loans, unpaid rent, or any other type of debt. Our attorneys handle these cases sensitively, maintaining personal relationships while aggressively pursuing the debt to get what you're owed. We can represent you in court to enforce repayment against debtors if necessary.
Secured vs. Unsecured Debt
- Secured debts are backed by collateral, like a mortgage or car loan. The collateral may not cover the entire amount owed, so we can help you enforce your rights to the collateral.
- Unsecured debt can be more challenging to recover than secured debt, such as credit cards. We use negotiation, legal action, and, where appropriate, debt collection agencies to recover these types of debts.
Recovery of loans and advances
A long-standing loan or advance can be difficult to recover, especially if it involves substantial amounts. We handle it all, whether it's a business loan, personal loan, or advance under a contract. To recover the funds, we review loan agreements, identify any breaches, and take appropriate legal action.
Recovery from Credit Card Debt
Unpaid credit card balances are collected from individuals and businesses. These debts are difficult to recover, with interest and penalties accruing over time. Credit card debt is recovered by negotiating with debtors, sending letters of demand, and, if necessary, filing lawsuits. Assuring full payment of these outstanding amounts is our goal.
Debt Recovery from Insolvent Debtors
Recovering debts from insolvent debtors requires specialized knowledge and strategy. Getting your debt back after bankruptcy or insolvency is challenging but not impossible. Our attorneys represent you in Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) proceedings and file claims with the Insolvency Resolution Professional (IRP). Even under difficult financial conditions, we help clients recover their debts.
Benefits of Legal Services for Debt Collection in India

- Legal professionals prepare and submit claims to courts and arbitration panels, ensuring the documents are correct and valid.
- Lawyers negotiate settlements or payment plans with debtors on the firm's behalf to avoid litigation.
- Lawyers represent you in court or any other legal setting where your conflict is mediated and fight to guide the litigation process towards a positive outcome.
- Following a judgment is obtained, we provide legal services for the enforcement of the decision and undertake actions such as asset seizures and garnishments.
Service Offerings in Debt Recovery
From the initial consultation to case filing, our debt recovery process ensures you get what you're owed. Here's how it works:
Initial Consultation and Case Evaluation
- We start by analyzing the debt in question and its contractual obligations. This means looking at the terms of the contract, payment schedules, and any breaches.
- To determine the viability of legal action, we evaluate the amount owed, the debtor's financial situation, and the likelihood of successful recovery.
- Our evaluation depends on understanding the debtor's finances. And based on that, we can tailor our strategy.
Debt negotiation and settlement
- Our team works with the debtor to reach an agreement that benefits both parties before going to court.
- It's possible to settle debt disputes amicably through mediation. We facilitate mediation sessions, guiding discussion toward a fair settlement.
- After the parties agree on payment terms, a settlement agreement is drafted and negotiated.
Legal Notices and Demand Letters
- We send formal legal notices to the debtor after negotiations fail, outlining the debt owed and its consequences.
- Once we've sent the demand letter, we closely monitor the debtor's response and advise on what to do next, including filing a lawsuit if the debtor doesn't respond.
Filing a Debt Recovery Suit
- You draft the necessary legal documents, file them with the appropriate court or tribunal, and initiate legal proceedings when litigation is needed.
- The Debt Recovery Tribunal (DRT) represents clients with larger debts, particularly those involving financial institutions. We handle the whole process, from filing your application to presenting evidence to arguing your case before the tribunal.
- We handle arbitration proceedings (if applicable) if the contract includes an arbitration clause. Managing arbitration cases is our speciality, so your interests are effectively represented.
Enforcement of judgments
- When a judgment is obtained in your favour, we enforce it. This may involve obtaining court orders to compel payment or other actions to ensure compliance.
- When a judgment is issued, we can file for court approval if the debtor fails to pay to ensure that the judgment is satisfied by selling or transferring the debtor's assets.
- Our execution services include ensuring that the court's orders are carried out effectively, which may include coordination with law enforcement or court officers.
Recovery of Debts from Insolvent Debtors
- With insolvent debtors, you can file a claim under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC) with an Insolvency Resolution Professional (IRP).
- We represent clients in bankruptcies and financial distress proceedings.
Credit Management and Debt Collection Strategies
- Along with debt recovery, we offer credit management advice, including setting up internal policies that minimize bad debts in the future.
- With our help, businesses can build efficient and compliant debt collection processes. We train your team, draft collection policies, and provide ongoing support to manage debt.
- Credit checks, strong contracts, and clear communication with debtors are the best ways to prevent bad debts.
