Collection agent threatened me with willful default
I have a personal loan running with IndusInd Bank and I have been paying every month, despite 6 months of me being unemployed due to medical reasons. Because of my unemployment status, the emi date is being stretched a little but I never defaulted on a single payment ever.
I had recently a very small shortfall amount of around 500 rs which I promised to pay by day end and paid also. I honoured my commitment to them. The agent in between called me up, threatened me with putting my name as a willful defaulter and was very rude and threatening to me saying he will send agents to my home for recovery. It was an extremely unpleasant experience with a very rude fellow. I have a good CIBIL score still and have not done anything to warrant this action.
Can I take further action on the agent and the bank? It has caused a great deal of emotional turmoil. Can I approach a court on this and serve a legal notice?
I would be very thankful for guidance please.
A personal loan customer faced threats from a collection agent regarding 'willful default' despite consistent payments and a recent minor shortfall. The agent's behaviour caused significant distress. The discussion explores options for legal action against both the agent and the bank, including filing police complaints and seeking legal counsel.
