Money

"My father, aged 69, was retired and staying with me. He had a credit card since the last 15 years. He expired last year in October and since January this year, I have been harassed by phone calls from the bank claiming that there is an outstanding of Rs32,000 on his card. They want me to pay this outstanding. Is it legal for the bank to demand the dues of the father from his son? What should I do?" -- Rajesh Batra (name changed), Gurgaon.
