You shall contact the State Headquarters Branch and ask to reduce the penalty so that you will clear the debt. Otherwise, it leads to legal complications.

The bank cannot attach your property on their own.
They have to follow the due process of law for taking any action for recovery of money.
They have to file a suit for money recovery and then EP to execute the decree.
