The recovery agent duly appointed by the bank, is having the right to send letter to the defaulters.
If any unlawful activity done by the bank or agent is illegal.
But, simply demanding the money either oraly or written can not be a illegal activity.

I agree with Mr.Arunagiri. The remedy is to have a dialogue with the bank. Seek some time. If there is a provision like remission of interest as in the case of Banks in India, find out with them and appeal to them to reduce the burden explaining your financial problems. Whether you have instant repayment capacity or not, always it is advisable to be touch in the bankers so that it will develop the confidence in them that you are not a willful defaulter and recovery process is delayed for genuine reasons. If you avoid them, they will be forced adapt the all methods for recovery including engaging recovery agents, taking legal action etc.
