Is It Wise to Send a Legal Notice for a Relieving Letter? Seeking Guidance on Next Steps

Hello Sir/Madam, I have a query. I have a total of 5 years of experience, and my last employer was a small startup where I worked as a credit manager. Initially, it started as a finance company (dealing with loans), and later the owner began changing the business model to a direct sales agency. I was forced to do sales and business development instead of credit appraisals (for which I was hired). The owner never appreciated the hard work we did (we used to work 14 hours a day) and at times would throw tantrums and make personal remarks as well. So finally, I decided to walk out of the company without a relieving letter. As there was no clause in the offer letter regarding the notice period, I did not serve any. Now I am unable to get a good job due to the gap in employment (as I am not showing the startup on my resume). Recently, I found out that the company is still using my name and designation to do business. Is it a good idea to send a legal notice asking for a relieving letter or experience letter? If yes, please guide me through the procedure and the consequences. Warm Regards.

How did you find out that the company is still using your name and designation for business? What is the nature of proof that your name is being used? Designation can be used because someone else may have joined in the same designation.

You can send them a letter asking them to desist from using your name for further business. If your correspondence does not yield results, a legal notice can be issued thereafter.
