What Happened: The Power of PrivateCourt in Action

Three Defaults. One Trusted Platform. One Peaceful Resolution.

Case Overview
Case Number Date of Claim Date of Hearing Date of Award Digest Summary
PC/CLX/0225 Feb 2025 Feb 2025 25 Feb 2025 ₹90,000 settled in full after PrivateCourt notice
PC/SUR/0125-A Jan 2025 Jan 2025 14 Jan 2025 ₹86,970 in 3 installments, voluntary resolution
PC/SUR/0125-B Jan 2025 Jan 2025 14 Jan 2025 ₹96,330 settled via 2-instalment agreement

When recovery efforts stall, even experienced financial firms can hit a wall. But when PrivateCourt steps in, clarity follows. In this combined case study, three separate loan disputes—each with unique parties, values, and default reasons—were resolved not through confrontation, but through communication. All three respondents, on receiving a formal letter from PrivateCourt, responded positively and agreed to settle.

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
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.
