Costly home loan mistakes, what to do when something goes wrong with your lender, and where to check the facts.
Many expensive home loan problems come from things borrowers did not read or did not ask for in writing: a fixed rate that turns floating after three years, an insurance policy added to the loan amount, a rate that was never moved to the repo-linked benchmark, a missed EMI that pushed the account towards special mention status, or original sale deeds that the lender held back after closure. This section explains the common failures and the remedies the RBI framework gives you.
The guide to home loan mistakes is the starting point and links to every guide here. You will also find how to complain to your lender and the RBI Ombudsman, what happens after missed EMIs including SARFAESI notices, how credit reports affect your rate and how to fix errors, your rights when you close a loan and want your property papers back, the truth about bundled home loan insurance, and a directory of official sources.
These guides are general information, not legal or tax advice. If you have received a legal notice, are disputing a large amount or are buying a property with title problems, consult an advocate or a chartered accountant.
