Yes Loans Pvt. Ltd., trading as Settle my loan (SML) provides a method of debt resolution known as debt settlement. The following disclosures are to make consumers aware of the advantages and disadvantages of a debt settlement.
By Initializing each item below, you understand:
9.1 – You are enrolling into a debt settlement services after voluntarily seeking assistance from SML. The goal you have set is to develop a plan or to negotiate mutually agreeable settlements between you and your creditor(s) for payment of certain unsecured debt(s) described as enrolled Debts. While no specific results can be predicted or guaranteed; SML specializes in the process of negotiations and settlement and will work to the fullest to realize your goals.
9.2 – In entering into this Agreement, you acknowledge that SML will be undertaking any action solely in its capacity as your Non- exclusive Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Letter of Authority that you have signed. You acknowledge that SML has not advised you to reduce or terminate payments to your creditors and you have been advised that SML will not take any action that might be construed as interfering with the contractual relationships between you and your creditors.
9.3 – In entering into this Agreement, you represent that no enrolled creditor accounts are secured by collateral or cross collateralized with another account or property. Secured debt is debt for which the creditor has collateral in the form of a security interest in personal and/ or real property. Should you fail to make timely payments on a secured debt, the creditor is entitled to repossess the property and sell it. Cross−collateralized debt exists where security has been mortgaged and pledged to a creditor under a document that provides that the collateral not only secures primary obligations such as a property or a car, but also other debt that may include enrolled debt. A creditor may also have the right to offset your enrolled obligations against bank or other accounts maintained by that creditor in your name.
9.4 – Most creditors and collectors are likely to negotiate with SML, but SML cannot force the negotiations and cannot force creditors to accept a settlement. Your creditors are likely to continue collection efforts on delinquent accounts while you are enrolled on LSS. SML makes no claim that we will be able to stop these collection activities but will continue to negotiate these accounts throughout the process. In many cases creditors and collectors will negotiate on payment and /or debt settlement even if a lawsuit has been filed.
9.5 – Your LSS assumes an effort that will continue for many months. The time needed to produce a settlement depends on a number of factor These may include:
(a) The financial hardship,
(b) the age and balance of the accounts that you owe your creditors,
(c) the funds you have available to pay for a settlement and
(d) the willingness of individual creditors to enter into debt settlement negotiations. While no guarantees can be given, generally the quicker you save money the sooner you will be able to reach your goals. However, each settlement must be acceptable to both you and your settling creditor.
9.6 – Since you have voluntarily decided to not make required minimum payments to your creditors you may be breaking the terms of your agreements with them. It is likely your actions will be reported to credit reference agencies (credit bureaus) as late, delinquent, charged−off or past due balances. Your creditor may also raise the interest rate on your account and impose other penalties. Your account balance will continue to grow as your creditor adds accrued interest, late fees, over−limit fees and penalties. After Settlement your creditors are obligated to properly report the status and outcome of the closed and settled account. It is the creditors’ responsibility to properly report these items to the credit bureaus. LSS may have an adverse effect on your credit report and credit score depending on your specific situation.
9.7 – The settlement services that we have committed to reach your debt settlement goal is detailed in your Letter of Engagement.

LSS can be a very effective way to resolve your debt, but it is not a painless process, and no guarantees can be given because the process is subject to factors that neither you nor SML may be able to control. As with any type of debt settlement, failure to complete a LSS is likely to have negative consequences on your financial situation.
