were trying to take a loan from pvt finance, he spoke with them, they agreed to give loan of 3.50 lakhs in that they made 60000 cut off  as a interest, they  made with him an agreement to give weekly interest 20% (70000) of 3,50000,  
 
they had taken his car documents,(he already has a loan in his car in another finance,) some written statements & his 5 sighned cheques, and also 2 sighned cheques of mine  (without date )
sir, now the problem is my room mate is not with me also he got some losses in his ventures, but the financier is pressuring  me to put my cheques to bank. later i went to my bank & given stop payment instruction.because i'm a student & i have no sufficient bank balance too.
 
If the financier go ahead with my cheque, what legal actions can they charge on me sir?
i am in terrible finacial condition.
here i'm simply a victim of these because of my room mate, i did not get a single ruppe from his loan amount. i dont have anything to pay them if they charge me......

sir you can dispute the intrest but at the same time you con dispute the loan .

adv. rajeev ( rajoo ) (practicing advocate)     25 September 2011

when money is lent for interest it requires money lending license, so in your case I think no mondy lending licnese Hence the transaction amounts to money lending.  Hence it is not legally enforceable debt.

DEFENSE ADVOCATE.-firmaction@g (POWER OF DEFENSE IS IMMENSE )     25 September 2011

It all will depend on the pleadings in the complaint.

adv. rajeev ( rajoo ) (practicing advocate)     25 September 2011

Immediately issue notice to the financer not to present the cheques for collection and also inform the same i.e., stop payment intimation given to the bank with a reason that for what reason stop payment request is made to the bank.

Dear Sir,

                As per Bombay High Court. The debt is not legally enforceable. Since there was no money lending license. However, there are conditions attached.

such piecemeal advice is dangerous , you must give all details of complaint.

If there is specific mention of bank account in complaint , go in revision.

A  LOT OF THANKS.

AS PER YOUR ADVISE  ALSO,  THE  ACCUSED  ADVOCATE  FILED  REVISION  IN HIGH COURT.
