My family is a victim of harassment by a bank’s recovery team. Last week, when I was not at home, three people came to my house asking for me and harassing my family.
My wife called me and I spoke to them that I was not at home and they should leave immediately and come once I am back.
On this, they started abusing me, while my children were there as well. Is this act justified? I even do not know whether they were actually from the bank or the bank gave my address to someone else.
The banks have information which they should not pass on to strangers. Are banks’ recovery teams allowed to visit the home of an account holder at midnight?
I have written about this incident to the bank concerned, the banking mohtasib and to the State Bank of Pakistan. I want the authorities to take notice of this and ensure banks do not harass people.
Name withheld on request.
