Please tell me the purpose for which you require to file a case against SBI credit card people. Before you signed the agreement for obtaining credit card, you ought to have read the terms and conditions for obtaining credit card. Most of the people are in the practice of signing the agreement without reading the statement in it.
I have gone through two or three in these type of cases. If you are not in a position to pay the debt due on the credit card, it is better to get loan from somebodyelse and pay the entire debt due in one installment by requesting them some deductions. You may tell them that you are innocent to know about the rules governing the credit card. They may allow you some deductions. Thereafter you may cancel your card.
Credit cards are danger for middle class people. If you do not pay the ENTIRE debt due within the stipulated date, it will start calculating the compound interest monthly at the rate of approximately 3% per month for the ENTIRE amount eventhough you had paid a certain percentage of debt. So, it is better for the middle class people to avoid credit cards.
It is not easy to file a case before court. You have to spend time and money. The quantum of such money and time may vary from case to case depending upon the circumstances of each case. It may sometimes go beyond the actual relief you are praying in that case. Please calculate all these before thinking of filing a case.
