Consequences of filing a criminal case against a debtor by the bank

Hi,

I have just found out I have a police case filed by my bank on a credit card payment. I have a credit card with 25k limit and could not do minimum payments for 1 year (due to job loss), nevertheless, the bank filed a case against me for 190k.

I do not understand on what ground and would like to know what to do. As well, how can I find out if I have a travel ban as I would rather try and solve the situation remotely from home than be concerned that I will be jailed here?

Your advice is appreciated.

Dear,

If the bank has initiated a criminal case against you, the court will impose fine but may further send you to jail if you will not appear before the court. Defend the case and explain the situation to the court.

Thank you for the response. I was not aware of the court and thus was not attending. I am willing to settle the card amount but not 190k that is out of nowhere.

Should I submit my passport till rectified?
