Guarantee Plan

Conditional refund
โœ“
Full refund applies when

SUS fails to deliver the agreed advisory service within the stipulated timeline, or the terms of the agreement are not met as per the guarantee plan.

โœ•
No refund applies when

The customer doesn't provide adequate time for delivery, misrepresents facts, documents, or agreed terms โ€” or the outcome is affected by factors outside SUS's control, like bank or bureau decisions, DPD removal, or credit history changes.

Official payment channel

All payments for SUS services must be made only through the official SUS website or app. Any payment made outside the platform โ€” to individuals, WhatsApp contacts, or unofficial links โ€” is solely the customer's responsibility, and SUS won't recognize or refund such transactions.

Approved refunds are processed only to the same account or payment method used for the original transaction โ€” never to third-party accounts or alternate methods.

Advisory-only disclaimer

SUS provides advisory guidance only. SUS cannot:

  • Remove DPD (Delinquent Payment Days) entries
  • Delete or alter credit history
  • Increase or decrease a credit score on request

Credit score changes are determined by banks, credit bureaus, and RBI regulations โ€” not by SUS. Refunds are not issued for unfavorable score outcomes, dissatisfaction with advisory recommendations, or delays in bank or bureau response.
