Bank foreclose and sold my property - help please

File the complaint in Consumer forum,this is an illegal,bank cannot able to sell your property,without getting a decree from the court in this behalf,& they also need to get permission from local administration and police administration.

do you have details when it was sold,i.e., which year? and have u changed your communication address, which u have not informed the bank about this. wait for some time and send a legal notice to the bank asking details, because bank has to follow lot of procedure in case borrower  was  not traceable.

based ont he given facts the strory is unconvincing that bank sold property and you did not know about it.

FURTHER, IS IT GOVT BANK

(it is vital for my next response)

Your query does not disclose about receipt or non receipt of the statutory notices under Sec.13 of SARFAESI Act or Rule 8(6) if S,I.(E) Rules. No body can find resolutions to this problem for want of information. Filing of complaint or going to consumer forum are of no help to you.

Actually, the property in question was an investment in Bangalore. I never lived in it and only saw it once before I bought it. I moved soon after to a different city and didnt think twice about it after that untill sometime back. The bank was not able to contact me for quite sometime and they must have declared it NPA and auctioned it off. According to their records, it was sold back in 2010.

I have no issue that they have sold the property. They probably got judgement from Debt Tribunal Court to sell the property in my absence and I am fine with that. I am just wondering how to get the extra money due to me from the bank.

So yes, I did not know about it because I never followed up with it. If my main house or something was being sold then for sure I would have got to know since relatives and friends would inform me but that was not the case.

Also, yes it is a public setor bank.

What should I do? Their advocate and bank manager have both confirmed that the property is sold and 20 lakhs should be credited to my account. They are however constantly delaying. I even gave a letter to the bank manager requesting to credit my money but nothing is getting done. I dont know why they are delaying especially since they have all acknowledged that the money is mine.

I am also confident that they are not lieing because otherwise they would be chasing me to clear the loan or pay my dues.

What should I do?

We understand that you are fully aware of what has transpired or was transpiring consequent to your default in repayment of loan. The Act and the Rules are framed in such way that one cannot escape action hiding elsewhere. It seems you were not interested to know what was going on in the matter except knowing end result of the action under the Act.

If you are interested to know the details of the action including appropriation of sale proceeds, it is open to you to invoke "Right to Information Act" since it is public sector bank. 20 years is the limitation for public sector undertakings to maintain records and they are bound to furnish the information notwithstanding the delay on your side which is not beyond 20 years. Please seek for information from them and com back for any necessary advise from this forum.

I am back with some news friends.

After some digging, I have found my money I think.

There is an FDR in the banks branch with my name and PAN which I have never deposited. The value of the FDR matches the extra from sale proceeds. I do not have the receipt for this FDR since I never even deposited it.

Is this normal practice? Can I now walk into the bank and request the receipt since it is in my name?
