Yes, lawyers can help cardholders communicate with banks and provide legal services for cardholders. After the credit card is overdue, if it is impossible to repay due to other accidents, it is best to contact the bank by phone, state your actual situation and express your willingness to repay, and you can apply for deferred repayment. If there is malicious overdraft on the credit card, the cardholder uses two credit cards for fraud, and the larger amount will constitute a crime. In this case, it is of little use to find a lawyer.
I. Solution for overdue credit card:
1. As a credit card holder, once the repayment cannot be made on time due to unemployment, illness or other unexpected circumstances, before the deadline for repayment comes, the cardholder had better take the initiative to call the bank credit card center to state his financial situation, declare that he is not maliciously in arrears, and apply for deferred repayment and interest concessions.
2. In view of the cardholder's positive performance and previous good credit record, banks often agree to postpone repayment, and negotiate with the cardholder the repayment plan, extension period, interest discount, monthly repayment amount, etc. acceptable to both parties. In this way, if you take the initiative to contact the bank and the bank agrees to postpone the repayment, you will not be recorded in the bad record, but it should be noted that you will be guaranteed to repay the loan as agreed in the future.
3. If you are usually negligent in repayment, you must repay as soon as possible, preferably in full, after you find that it is overdue. Then call the bank's credit card center to declare that there is no malice. If the past record is good and the overdue time is short, if the repayment is found to be good after the overdue, it may not be recorded in the bad record. Don't be careless in the future. Be sure to pay attention to the bank's bill notice and collection information to avoid overdue.
4. Credit card repayment information will be recorded by the central bank's credit information system for 24 months, that is, the bad credit records generated by overdue credit card repayment will be kept in the credit information system for two years. If you terminate with a card, the corresponding record will not scroll, but will be saved for a long time. Therefore, after the overdue repayment of the credit card, it is best not to cancel the credit card immediately after paying off the arrears, but to insist on using the card for more than two years, during which time, to maintain a good credit, so that the bad records can be cleared from the credit information system through rolling records.
