by | Nov 5, 2020 | Press Releases

Bhatia records his 13-year ordeal in the critically acclaimed book Indicting Goliath and puts out all that he has gone through.

  • To Stifle Lal Bhatia’s efforts of exposing large scale criminality, facts were fabricated, and Lal Bhatia was framed to protect individuals, including a number of senior officials within the United States Government. Court Documents reveal.
  • Court Documents also reveal that corrupt Government Officials Within the United States Department of Justice accepted bribes to falsely charge, falsely convict and falsely incarcerate Lal Bhatia.
  • Numerous questions pointing to crimes conducted by senior officials within the United States Government remain unanswered. Court Documents also reveal.

In his critically acclaimed book, Indicting Goliath, Lal Bhatia, author, relying on court documents, conclusively establishes, that, for favours and bribes, United States Department of Justices’ prosecutor Stephen G. Corrigan; Federal Bureau of Investigation, Special Agent Janet Berry and others fabricated facts to falsely charge, falsely convict and falsely incarcerated him to conceal Seattle based Mon Wig, Managing Member, Wig Properties LLC’s crimes.

In numerous court filings, as demonstrated throughout Indicting Goliath, for example, on December 28, 2010 in U.S. v. Lal Bhatia, U.S. District Court, Northern California, Court Case No.: CR-04-40071-CW, Document Nos. 392-394; Court Case No.: CR-05-00334-SBA, Document No.: 545; Lal Bhatia v. United States Attorney’s Office, Northern California, Case No.: CV-09-05581-SBA, Document No.: 45; and Lal Bhatia v. Mon Wig, Case No.: CV-10-00072-SBA, Document No.: 78, it was deemed admitted and conclusively established that:

Individuals including, Assistant United States Attorney, Stephen G. Corrigan, Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Janet Berry, and others engineered and fabricated facts to falsely indict, falsely convict and falsely incarcerate Lal Bhatia, in order to conceal and protect Mon Wig’s crimes, including Wig’s bulk cash currency that was transferred and deposited in safe-deposit boxes at Bank of Credit and Commerce Limited, in London, England (BCCI); and transported in armored vehicles or flown from Mexico into the United States, through Wachovia Bank.

Individuals including, prosecutor Stephen G. Corrigan, Federal Bureau of Investigation Special Agent Janet Berry, and others engineered and fabricated facts to falsely indict, falsely convict and falsely incarcerate Lal Bhatia, in order to conceal and protect Mon Wig’s crimes, including, Wig’s bulk cash currency laundered through Barclays, the British Bank; Credit Suisse Group; and ABN Amro Bank.

Indicting Goliath, Appendix 2, pgs. 245-256.

This is a call on all people who believe in dignity, human rights and due process of law to raise their voices with the following message:

“I am deeply disappointed that the United States Department of Justice continues to protect corrupt government officials even after court documents reveal Lal Bhatia, on numerous occasions, identified, specified and detailed, dates Mon Wig’s millions were laundered; amounts, methods used, bank account numbers, conduits used by Mon Wig to launder the millions. Why are they continuing to protect Wig for over a decade?”

Importance of CIBIL Score in Personal Loans

Importance of CIBIL Score in Personal Loans

by | Nov 3, 2020 | Press Releases

The credit score is the product of your credit history and is an indicator of your creditworthiness.

A personal loan is the best credit instrument when you are facing a financial emergency or an unexpected expense, such as hospital expenses, home renovations, marriage expenses, etc.

When you apply for a personal loan, the lender will collect information about you that will help in deciding whether to lend you money, how much to lend and at what interest rate. To get this information, the lender will access your credit report.

Your credit report is a statement that has information about your credit history and current credit situation. It also includes information about your existing and past loans, with details of how much you borrowed, and your repayment history. Based on your credit report, a credit score is assigned to you.

What Is a credit/CIBIL score?

A credit score is a three-digit number that is between 300 and 900. Although there are four credit bureaus that are authorized to give this credit score – CIBIL, Experian, Equifax and CRIF High Mark, the CIBIL score is the most popular one in India.

The credit score is the product of your credit history and is an indicator of your creditworthiness. All loan lenders, including banks, NBFCs, fintech lending companies and other financial institutions rely on credit score for approving the loan.

Importance of CIBIL Score in Personal Loans - Digpu News

How Important Is the Credit Score for a Personal Loan?

The personal loan lenders view borrowers with strong credit reports and higher credit scores as less risky. This means they are less likely to default on the loan. The lenders often offer loans with larger amounts and low-interest rates to these borrowers. On the other hand, borrowers with shakier credit reports and lower credit scores are often rejected a personal loan, but if they do get their loan approvals, they are with lower amounts and higher interest rates because of the perceived risk.

Minimum CIBIL Score for Personal Loan

The higher your credit score is, the better are your chances of getting your personal loan approved.  The ideal CIBIL/credit score to get a personal loan from a bank or NBFC is 750 or above.

Personal Loan on Low Credit Score?

It is possible to get a personal loan if you have a low credit score or no credit history. If you can convince your lender by highlighting the other strong criteria, such as income, employment, bank balance, etc. then there may be a strong possibility of your personal loan getting approved, despite a low credit score. However, you may be approved for a lower amount at a higher interest rate.

Approval of Loan Application

The CIBIL score also plays a crucial role in the time taken for loan approval. A high CIBIL score helps win the trust of your potential lenders, and the loan application is processed in the shortest time possible. Faster processing of your personal loan application means the money will be disbursed to you as soon as possible, so you can use it to address your urgent financial needs.
