Dear experts
I had a joint bank locker with my husband and i dont want to maintain same account with him now.
I had approached the bank to close the same locker but the bank lockers said that since its a joint locker,they will require his signatures too for closing the same .
But i dont want to maintain any joint account with him as i know he will not be paying any locker rent in the future and maintaining that locker is adding to my liability to pay locker rent.Please suggest how can i get rid of this bank locker as i dont expect any cooperation from his side in terms of signing the closure form for account.

You contact the Branch Manager and tell him the situation. Since you are holding the key and being one of the persons for operating the locker, you wish to surrender the locker. Tell the Bank that you cannot pay the locker rent. If they want you can show copy of the court Judgement of divorce.

Issue him Notice, that you intend to surrender Locker. If he want to continue , at his cost, he may approach Bank & do needful.

You surrender locker from your side by handing over the its keys and making a specific application in this regard with its due receipt so as to settle the matter between your ex. hubby and bank.
