Hi Team,
I had a salary savings account with kotak savings bank. Based on my salary account i was given a credit card from kotak bank.
I had been making payments on the credit card account till August 2017, but due financial crisis i have stopped making payments on the account. I lost my job in Nov 2016, but still managed to pay on till Aug 2017. But due to financial crisis im not able to pay on my account.
Since then, my experience with your collection executives has started. I understand if there is a due on the account the collection executives visit my place and call me for the purpose of recovery of the amount. The bank has reported my account to cibil, charged huge late fees and financial charges and the started sending ur collection executives to my home since 1st month of default. I understand this is the usual process. But i need clarity on few things, and also i want to mention that i want to pay the amount i owe, but my situation has turned worst that for basic things also we are suffering so much an in this situation i fin it difficult to pay the amt. Nevertheless, i'm not denying to make payments. All i need is some time to get the situations better. In this scenario, i request you to clarify that if i'm not paying the amount, does the bank, or employees of the bank or the collection agencies of the bank have right to destroy my reputation in my neighborhood? Your collection team are continuously harassing me on the calls by ill treating me, talking to me an offensive, rude and abusive language. They call me continuously and some times out of office hours, at least 2 to 4 times they visit my house and there are atleast 2 people who visit my house every time. They come here to my house and shout on the top of their voices and they stand for few hours shouting they wont leave the house untill I pay them the amount. I have requested them and told my situation that im not working and no one in my home is working to help me. I have my elder sister and my age old parents at home. My dad is very sick and they talk to him rudely and abuse him. They demand money from him and discuss my financial matters with him. They also tell the watchman of my apartment, discuss my debt and shout in front of my neighbors which is even more painful.
From last three months, their torture has been increased. In all the situations I met them at my home and answered all their calls. But from last three months their torture has been increased. They are not even thinking that they are talking to a female. They directly say they get 20% of commission and question me why they have to loose it for my problems. In the month of December (after 20th)Vinod has come to my place along with another executive and spoke rudely to my sister when i was not home, immediately he called me and spoke to me very rudely. He was so abusive on the phone, he said i have used the money for my styles, Im a very responsible money and also spent money for home needs or basic things, im not a very who carelessly use money. He called me December 25th which is a non working day and spoke to me for about an hour, he was so rude and i was so helplessly requesting him expressing my inability to pay the amount. Immediately on Dec 27th 2 other persons have visited gopi. Srinivas was shouting on the top of his voice in front of my house, demanding to pay the money immediately, he was shouting wantedly, and revealing the amount i owe so all my neighbours can listen, he tortured me for two hours standing in front of my house, and shouting. Gopi, who came along with him started taking pictures of me, my house, name board on my house my apt and all. To which i have objected and then he deleted only one photo in which i was their.
Now, again on 19th and 20th Srinivas was calling me continuously and i was out so couldnt pick his call. I called him back and spoke to him explained him that i cannot pay and im in search of a job and will close it soon once i get some amount or a job. While i was talking to Srinivas Roa Alamuri, another person speaks out of blue abusing me, he says "nee battevazz mattalu appu" gollidana" shokulaki vadukunnava?he says he will spit on my face. He spoke to me very vulgarly. this is the second time he used this, back n december also he abused me for which i kept quiet. Vinod is so abusive, please listen to his calls he use so many bad words. But now Vinod has exceeded his limits, abused me and also insulted me a woman. Bharat and Srinivas on the call laughing to the vulgar statements he made. He said I'm doing time pass with all the executives who come to my house, tell them stories and all. He was asking if i can so time pass with him. He abused me and insulted me by talking in an offensive manner. He spoke all double meaning things with me. All collection people are so rude, but who has given you an authority to abusive and dishonor my dignity. Another person, by name Bharat says vinod will abuse u more who would not he abuse you, i[censored] want more abuses from him talk to him again.
As a woman, these 3 people Vinod and Bharath have disrespected my dignity and spoke to me very vulgarly, so i demand termination of these 3 people (Vinod and Bharat) . If you do not terminate these two people on priority i will definitely take these audios to the police station, she teams and will file a complaint on the bank and on your executives. I have all the phone recordings and the video where Ur executives spoke to me. I have tolerated all the insults, all the harassment for my helpless to pay the amount. If you do not take any action i will be forced to go to the police station and file a complaint with the SHE TEAM. You will have to terminate Vinod, he has no right to abuse a woman.
These 3 people, Srinivas, Bharat and Vinod also threatened me saying they will come home and take away all the things at home, they would take the TV, fridge and all the valuables at home, which law provides you to take all the things? Please not this is misguiding the law and you will have to punish these people who are misguiding people and harassing.
