Three Defaults. One Trusted Platform. One Peaceful Resolution.
Introduction
PrivateCourt, a digital ADR platform, empowers parties to resolve disputes outside the traditional court system. In early 2025, three different cases—handled for two NBFC clients—highlighted the real impact of mediated communication.
Despite prior delays and non-responsiveness, these borrowers chose conciliation and willingly committed to structured repayment plans.
This is a testament to the psychological and legal credibility PrivateCourt’s platform brings.
Dispute Snapshot
Case A:
Loan of ₹90,000 defaulted by an individual borrower (Claim Date: Feb 2025)
Case B:
₹86,970 in dues resolved through installment agreement (Claim Date: Jan 2025)
Case C:
₹96,330 loan dispute ended with a two-installment plan (Claim Date: Jan 2025)
Each case involved default, financial stress to claimants, and no prior response—until the PrivateCourt notice was served.
The Journey to Default
Case A – ₹90,000 Loan
A vehicle loan had reached a critical default stage. Regular reminders had failed. The lender approached PrivateCourt, which issued a conciliation notice. To everyone's surprise, the borrower responded, attended discussions, and agreed to close the loan in full by 28 February 2025.
Case B – ₹86,970 Loan
The respondent had missed several scheduled repayments. The claimant had exhausted traditional communication channels. Upon receiving a formal intimation from PrivateCourt, the respondent requested a three-installment structure and initiated payments starting 25 January 2025.
Case C – ₹96,330 Loan
In this case, the borrower, the borrower, had ceased all communication. Yet, PrivateCourt's digital notice created the necessary impact. The respondent agreed to pay in two parts, with the first due by 22 January 2025 and the second in February.
In all three, what had previously seemed like lost causes turned around after receiving the official conciliation communication.

Final Insights
The PrivateCourt platform once again proved that legal recovery doesn’t require legal warfare. With the right tone, credibility, and structured process, even financially distressed borrowers chose to re-engage and resolve.
This case study demonstrates the brand strength of PrivateCourt—not just as a legal entity, but as a psychological catalyst in dispute resolution. It also shows how lenders can recover dues faster, digitally, and ethically.
