Question
Q: What to do if harassment continues after settlement?
Answer
A:
If harassment doesn't stop after a full and final settlement, you should treat it as a serious legal issue because threats or abuse after a settlement can be seen as criminal intimidation and coercive conduct by BNS. The first step is to send a letter saying that the settlement is over and that all calls, visits, and contacts with third parties must stop right away. You should also ask for the agent's permission and identity information. Keep your evidence safe, including call logs, recordings, screenshots, visit details, and any messages you sent to family or your boss. The quality of the evidence will determine how strong the action is. You should file a police/cyber complaint with attachments if the behavior gets worse and includes threats, blackmail, or shaming.
