My Axis Bank credit card was linked to my salary account, but I lost access to my online banking and ATM. I informed the bank, and they issued a new ATM card, but the PIN hasn’t arrived. My salary account had enough funds to cover my credit card balance, and it’s been locked for over a year. The bank has reported this to CIBIL and is now threatening me with phone calls. Their nodal officers suggested I contact a branch to resolve the ATM PIN issue and sent an apology email. Can I claim compensation from the bank for the credit score damage and threatening calls? I’m willing to clear my outstanding dues.
Best Answer
Under Indian law, you may have grounds to claim compensation for the credit score damage and harassment from the bank. The bank’s actions appear to be unreasonable and may constitute a violation of your rights, especially considering their acknowledgement of the issue and the fact that you are willing to settle the dues. You should consult with a legal professional for specific advice and guidance on pursuing compensation.
