Hi, Suit for recovery of money is ought to have filed with in 3 years from the date of last payment. So that time is expire they can't recover the amount from you.
2. If the recovery agent is harassing you then lodge a police Complaint against him.
3. If you received any summons form the Court then you can contest the case on merits.
Recovery agents do not serve summons. Court summons are served by the process server of the court. Unless there is a decree passed against you by the civil court, which you fail to honour, you cannot be imprisoned.
You cannot be arrested on this account.
It is purely a civil matter.
The bank has to initiate process through civil court for recovery of loan and cannot indulge in any illegal act for recovering the same.
Since the loan is barred by limitation the bank may not be able to recover it officially.
If the recovery agents trouble you again you may lodge a police complaint against them.
