I had used Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) Credit Card between 1995 & 1998. SCB closed my credit card by a false stating that the company GSL India Ltd., where I was working is no more in existence. Our company was upset, SCB Head intervened & asked me not to make any issue of mistake of the SCB, also assured that he will close my debts. As per CIBIL report status is "written-off" After 17 years on 31st Jul 2015 at 12.36pm, Mr. Marshall Ferrara of Shaha Finlease Pvt Ltd called on my mobile and informed that as per Deed of Assignment dated 09.02.2010 SCB, my account sold by SCB to them, Rs. 1.95 Crore is outstanding which I have to pay within 7 days otherwise he will organise to arrest me & started threatening me, blackmailed me by saying that he will call my wife, etc. then I disconnected my call as I was in some meeting. Immediately he called my residence, harassed & threatened my wife, then he started calling continuous for more than 20 times to me & my wife, we ignored & not responded his calls. Evening again he called when my wife was out, my lady servants responded his call, he threatened them & informed them that I am a fraud, he put me in jail. Since then till today he is frequently making threatening & extortion calls to me & my wife, on 8th Sep 2015 sent notice thru Advocate, Deepak Paikrao and Associates Advocate and Notary (Govt. of India), Office Address:Shop No. 33-BASS–004442, Opp. Bldg.

Which I informed to Head Service, SCB by email with copy marked to him. Then again calls, threatening, extortion started. On 10th Sept 2015, they sent email from stating that "In view of amicable closure of captioned credit card outstanding we had offered you to pay Rs.5, 50, 000/- towards closure of your captioned credit card outstanding". Till today morning we have received calls from him.

I have asked them by email with a copy to SCB to communicate only in writing, may be by email & clearly informed them for not to make any calls both over mobile & telephone. But he is not stopped!!!

According to my legal advisers technically they are wrong & legally in-correct

So, more than threatening they can't do any thing legally

They miss-lead banks, buy these kind of cases & try to extort money by the acts of threatening as much as possible from victims like us

Yes Vasugee,
I will update, all developments, whatever those may be.
But I am sure that this shouldn't be a treatment to customers of SCB by SCB or Shaha Finlease Pvt Ltd
Unbelievable!!! After 17 years of transaction, after 17 years of no communications of any kind, Mr. Marshall Ferrara of Shaha Finlease Pvt Ltd say that they had purchased my account in 2010, wake-up in Jul 2015 and wants money from me in Aug 2015, sending email notice, making Threatening & Extortion calls to me, my wife & my servants!!!
I am not understanding who authorised him to make Threatening & Extortion calls to my wife & servants, how they can buy them??? How SCB allowed them to buy my wife & servants??? How SCB got rights sell my wife & servants to them??? When & how & from whom SCB bought rights to selling my wife & servants to them???
I don't know who & what-else they will buy??? Who are all they buy??? From who are all they buy???
It's really new for me!!!
I am unable to believe is it a professionalism of a Global Bank called SCB!!!
They can't respect written communication & promise of their India Head of that time???
They forgotten their serious defamatory statement!!! They forgotten their request to, not to file Compensation Case!!!
I don't know what's wrong with them??? I request them for not to stake their reputation, no need to remind again that it's a Global Bank, world is watching!!!
Yes Vasugee,
I am going throung said judgement
Thanks

They have hired goons in their company. Rbi also will not do anything.
Thanks Vasugee,
I will go through
Mr. Vijay...facing similar issues. Hence, wanted to check the course of action you have taken. I am considering filing an extortion case.
SCB wrote to Shaha Finlease Pvt Ltd that Balance & Over dues are NIL, so, not to peruse with me and informed me the same in writing, also asked me if they call me again then just to inform them about the SCB communication

After that once legal dept of Shaha called me to threaten again by saying that they will go legally & file a case, I said OK, but till now no communications & calls from them

Now I have enough material to face them, so, now I am not at all worried

It's a extortion efforts of Shaha, suggesting you for not to worry & just file an extortion case, law of land will help you, many cases are against this kind of acts in India

Unitedly let us fight these kind of elements
I am also a victim of the same fraudulent company. They contacted me first time in year 2011. Their tactics were very cheap. When they could not call me up, they hired probably some girls to send me Facebook friend requests. Also sent me emaisl, stating the same legal notice thing, as I have not paid my dues to SCB and I am running away etc. etc. I sent them all the documents stating my settlement with SCB is closed and there are no dues. After that, they stopped calling me or emailing me. But again on 22 Feb 2016 almost after 5 years, they again sent me a legal notice kind of an email saying if I fail to pay the dues, they will file a criminal case against me. I left India way back in 2005 and not even an Indian Citizen now. How SCB can sell all private details to such gunda companies, I have no idea.
Hi, i am also facing same problem, even my credit limit is only 12000 on 2004, due to my job i went to Oman for a six month those 6 month i unable to pay my minimum amount, but when i back to India, the total outstanding amount was 20000, i spoken with SCB they accept full and final settlement of 12000, the same i paid, after 5 years 2010 i got a call from SCB for outstanding i have send them the final settlement letter along with bank debits details.

last week while check my Cibile report i shocked to see same unknown name company (Shaha ) mentioned out standing of 1132000 in my record
Hi

I have contacted a journalist friend to help me bring out this story in media abt the threatening and extortion calls from Shaha Finlease. I want all of you to support me and vote against these crooks. As I am facing the same issue. And I am waiting for them to send legal notice so I have evidence and it can be brought out in media in front of public.

Email me just your name and city. I am based in dubai and my email ID is [protected]@gmail.com
Hi.. I have a credit card from SC issued in 2008 with Limit 19000. I have utilized the amount which was provided as card limit. I have payed 9500 against my card and later due some problems i could not pay remaining 9500 amount. Last Month on September 1 week i got call from Shaha Finlease asking for settlement of my card for amount 36000 and they mentioned my CIBIL will be cleared if pay this amount in 45 days. I went to Standard Charted credit card settlement office in Hyderabad to check how my card details has been given outside company. SC bank mentioned, that my card is been sold to SHAHA FINELEASE in 2010 and i did not receive any notification on this.SC bank is asking to contact them to close your account. They are not ready to take payment.

I got call from SHAHA FINELEASE again asking for payment.I had argument with them if my card limit is 19000 and i have paid half amount why should i Pay 36000. Then they came down to 20000. I have forcefully agreed to make payment. But they are demanding to deposit amount in the account numbers which they have provided through email. I have refused to deposit in the account that was given, because when i google about this company i am seeing many fraud complaints against it. I have asked them to send any of their executive to collect payment and asked them to hand over original settlement letter along NOC. But they refuse to send any person and they mentioned we don't have office in Hyderabad. How can i deposit amount like this with out Identification. I did not make payment. I keep on getting threatening calls from them. 5 days before i have received a Demand Legal Notice asking to pay RS 378928.47p i was shocked by this the amount. for 19000 card i dodn't how would any one demand this amount..I got call today again from them, once i lift the call thay i have asked i receive the legal notice that they have sent. I said i received, but i asked fro 19000 limit how come you will collect 378928 they are saying u have this much amount now. your settlement is cancelled and no more valid. Please come to court we will see there. I don't know now what to do. Please advise what would be the best solution for this.
