Q: Fake Loan App Harassment Complaint: Seeking Help After Unauthorized Loan and Defamation

I downloaded the Rupeeway loan app and submitted my documents for loan approval, but they disbursed 3850 rupees for 7 days without my consent and demanded a refund of 7000 rupees within 3 days. I told them I did not approve the loan and asked for its cancellation. I tried contacting their customer care number and email, but received no response. Instead, they publicized my picture with captions like 'loan chor' and 'rapist'. Please help me file a fake loan app harassment complaint.

Hi,Based on your query, it is quite clear that the app is a scam aimed at extorting money. In fact a preliminary search on the app shows:1. The information of the owner of the app has been hidden on the google play store by said owners in a bid to remain anonymous2. Its alleged primary NBFC lending company had no online information or evidence of registration with the RBIIt is suggested that you file a complaint with the cyber cell as well as one with the RBI regarding this issue. If you require any assistance in this matter please feel to contact me.

The law is clear in this regard. As per the negotiable instruments act, jurisdiction will lie before the court within whose territorial jurisdiction the home branch (i.e. the branch in which the recipient has opened and maintained its account) is situated. Based on your query it seems that the delhi court lacks jurisdiction.
