My name is pradeep anandarajan, pan no. Ajcpp7016n and i have taken personal loan and credit card from kotak bank which account numbers are spln60048506 &[protected]. Due to job loss and not find job since long time i have financial issues and defaulted emi’s. Last year during sep 2017 also when i had defaulted the emi bank personal’s promised me to reduce emi amount once i regularize the emi but later they refused it once i regularized it.

3) email response received against my emi reduce request from tanmay. [protected]@kotak.com and cc from above all on 25 september 2017 at 08:35 am
They have straight way denied my request with in 1 and half hour of my email request without even called for discussion.
I even sold my flat to repay the emi’s but right now i have exhausted all my saving and left with no money to repay. So i requested the bank to reduce the emi through email and telephone but the refused it continuously and harassed me over phone. Following are the email communication attached with this letter.
4) email received from bank on 10th sep 2018 from subrato. [protected]@kotak.com & cc to tanmay. [protected]@kotak.com, datta. [protected]@kotak.com, hemant. [protected]@kotak.com
5) email request sent by me to reduce emi on 10th sept 2018 to all above bank representative.
With in 20 minutes i got a respond from them that they denied my request to reduce emi. And subsequent email went between both o[censored]s on say day attached.
They also harassed my friend and threaten him that they will play cards in front of his office until they find my new address. To keep my family away from their harassment i did not give them new address of mine since my family is very sensitive to these kinds of approaches. They were insisting me to meet me in person separately outside since there are something that cannot be disclosed over phone. When i told them to schedule the time and venue and let me know but they called me one day suddenly and told to me to meet immediately when i told them i have another schedule but they were rude so i was afraid and refused to meet them and told them to keep in touch through email for better record. Though there were lots many call of harassment i recorded only few. I am attaching the proof of call record about their harassment evidence over phone.

Whereas on 24th oct 2018 they went beyond rules and regulation and they harassed wife of the owner who purchased my flat (I used to stay there earlier). This happened several time and this time they were so arrogant speaking to his wife and threaten them to give my address otherwise they will be in trouble because of my nonpayment. Total 3 person visited his house and threaten them. That flat owner gave police complain which is attached for your reference.

They also started searching me showing my photo around this locality to all the people and looking for me for the whole day. Shockingly they have got my wife’s and daughter photo and they are shown to security guard of my society (He can be made available interrogated if necessary). Because of their indecent approach all o[censored]s in my family are depressed and unsecured. Bank representatives went to my friends office, previous residence and threaten them and my name in the society is got spoiled. This still continues i do not know the fate of mine and my family. I have already got into depression since 4-5 months and lost focus on searching jobs and my family is also feel so unsecure and depressed and worried when they came to know my wife and daughter photographs are with them and searching. Following people were in contact with me. They all said they belong to thane anand theatre branch and they look like collection agent and some of they claimed hemant is from legal team.

Because of their continuous harassment over phone and in person i wrote complaint to rbi seeking their interference and find a solution. When the bank representative approached again i told them to wait till i get response from rbi because they are not reducing my emi amount. But again they were rude in the approach i hereby attach the phone call record.

On 28th sept 2018 the credit card team approached me at 8.30pm and i avoided and they approached thorough whats app which screen shot also attached for your reference, his name is pedro, [protected]. I am sure approaching after 7 pm is against rbi regulations given to bank. Now you may understand how much casual/inappropriate they were while dealing with my case.

Due to their abusing calls and harassment i got high bp and lost peace of mind and totally depressed, my families are afraid and i lose my focus to find job and make another income. Almost for 6 months i have not generated any income rather taking money from others and selling items and running my life. On account defamation my name in society, harassment, threatening i want to register compensation from kotak bank for 25 lakh rupees and waiver off my personal loan and credit card due amount.
I request you to help me getting this case forward.
Thank you
Pradeep anandarajan
