Facing constant harassment from banks and recovery agents for loan repayment? You have legal rights that protect you from unfair practices. Here’s how to handle bank harassment for loan recovery effectively.
1. Know Your Rights
As per RBI guidelines, banks and recovery agents cannot use threats, intimidation, or public humiliation to recover dues. Understanding your rights will help you respond appropriately.
2. Request Written Communication
Insist on all loan recovery communications to be in writing. This helps you keep track of official records and avoids verbal threats.
3. Report Misconduct to Authorities
If you face harassment, file a complaint with the bank’s grievance redressal cell. If unresolved, escalate it to the Banking Ombudsman or RBI.
4. Seek Legal Assistance
Consult a legal expert to guide you on how to respond to unfair recovery tactics and explore legal actions against harassment.
5. Negotiate a Settlement
If you’re struggling with repayment, negotiate a settlement with your bank. A loan settlement agency can help mediate and reduce your burden.
6. Document Every Interaction
Keep records of all calls, messages, and visits from recovery agents. This evidence will support your case if you need to take legal action.
