The Creditor Harassment Letter is a crucial legal instrument used in India when debtors face inappropriate or aggressive collection practices from creditors or their agents. This document becomes necessary when creditors violate RBI guidelines and fair practice codes through actions such as threatening calls, inappropriate visiting hours, or intimidating behavior. The letter serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the harassment, puts the creditor on notice, invokes relevant legal protections, and creates a paper trail for potential legal proceedings. It is particularly relevant in the Indian context where the Reserve Bank of India has established specific guidelines for fair debt collection practices, and various laws provide protection against harassment. The document typically includes detailed documentation of harassment incidents, citations of relevant laws, and clear demands for cessation, making it an essential first step in addressing creditor harassment through formal channels.
